Russian airline to use Cyprus Airways logo | Ekathimerini

A subsidiary of Russian airline S7 has acquired the rights to use the logo of defunct carrier Cyprus Airways for 10 years at a cost of 2.04 million euros, under a deal signed on Friday.

The $2.25 million agreement signed in Nicosia allows new subsidiary Charlie Airlines to display the logo – a mouflon mountain sheep which Cyprus says is native to the island – on its aircraft on flights to and from the eastern Mediterranean holiday destination.

National carrier Cyprus Airways was shut down in January 2015 after breaking EU state aid rules and unable to repay the millions in cash it had received.

Finance Minister Harris Georgiades said signing the deal with S7 would create jobs and bolster flight connectivity to Cyprus, which returned to growth in 2015 after nearly four years of recession and a 10-billion-euro international bailout.

The island recorded its best ever tourist arrivals figure for the month of May, with visitors from Russia, its second largest market after Britain, jumping more than 50 percent to 107,000, compared to the same month of last year.

Charlie Airlines, which has applied for an air operator certificate, expects to launch flights with two Airbus A319 planes from Cyprus by the end of 2016 with the UK, Greece and Russia its main destinations.

The airline has signed a 10-year licensing deal – the logo remains the property of the Cypriot state – with an option to renew it for another five years.

S7 Airlines is Russia’s largest domestic carrier and transported 10.6 million passengers last year.

Σε Ρώσους, έναντι 2 εκατ., το λογότυπο των Κυπριακών Αερογραμμών. Προσφορά και από Aegean - Metafores Press

Στη ρωσική S7 πάνε τα λογότυπα και τα εμβλήματα των Κυπριακών Αερογραμμών, η οποία, σύμφωνα με τις πληροφορίες του «Φιλελεύθερου», προσέφερε, ως δικαιώματα χρήσης, 2 εκατομμύρια για να τα χρησιμοποιήσει προφανώς για τη θυγατρική Charlie Airlines, που βρίσκεται σε διαδικασία αδειοδότησης στο Τμήμα Πολιτικής Αεροπορίας.

Σύμφωνα με τις ίδιες πληροφορίες, η Aegean προσέφερε πιο ψηλό ποσό, ενώ έχει το πλεονέκτημα ότι είναι υφιστάμενη μεγάλη αεροπορική εταιρεία, ωστόσο, κρίθηκε ότι η πρότασή της, κυρίως σε σχέση με το προσφερόμενο ποσό, δεν ήταν δεσμευτική σε βαθμό που να κρίνεται αμετάκλητη.

Οπότε και αποφασίστηκε χθες, να κληθούν για διαπραγμάτευση οι εκπρόσωποι της S7. Οι τελικές προσφορές υποβλήθηκαν στις 24 Ιουνίου και αφού την περασμένη εβδομάδα  η Επιτροπή Αξιολόγησης έλεγξε την εγκυρότητα των τεχνικών φακέλων και την πληρότητα των δικαιολογητικών, προχώρησε στην αποσφράγιση και αξιολόγηση των φακέλων οικονομικής προσφοράς.

Προσφορές σε αυτή τη διαδικασία – την τέταρτη κατά σειρά από το κλείσιμο των Κυπριακών Αερογραμμών – υπέβαλαν μόνο οι δύο αεροπορικές εταιρείες η S7 (Siberia) και η Aegean Airlines.

Σύμφωνα με τα δεδομένα της προκήρυξης, εντός των αμέσως επόμενων ημερών θα κληθούν οι εκπρόσωποι της S7 που για την ώρα έχει χαρακτηριστεί ως «προτιμητέος προσφοροδότης» για διαπραγμάτευση.

Σε περίπτωση αδιεξόδου θα κληθεί για διαπραγματεύσεις και η Aegean. Η θυγατρική της S7 με την επωνυμία Charlie που έχει υποβάλει αίτηση για έκδοση άδειας κυπριακού αερομεταφορέα,υπολογίζει ότι θα έχει εξασφαλίσει το πιστοποιητικό αερομεταφορέα σε λιγότερο από ένα εξάμηνο.

Η εξέταση της αίτησης βρίσκεται σε προχωρημένο στάδιο. Την αίτηση υπέβαλε και διαχειριζόταν, εκ μέρους της Charlie, ο πρώην γενικός διευθυντής των Κυπριακών Αερογραμμών Γιώργος Μαυρόκωστας.
