Discount on plane tickets
During the Easter days, the 30% discount that Sky Express has announced since the beginning of the school year, in response to the relevant request of the Ministry of Education, Religion and Sports, is valid. Thus, each substitute teacher can issue a reduced ticket for his transition from the place of service to the place of permanent residence and vice versa.
The discount is provided with the unique code that the beneficiaries have received since their recruitment, as long as they have not already used up the ten (10) routes for which the discount is granted.
The Minister of Education, Religion and Sports Kyriakos Pierrakakis warmly thanked the Minister of Shipping and Island Policy Christos Stylianidis as well as the ferry companies and the airline Sky Express for their immediate response to the request of the Ministry of Finance for the provision of the above facilities.
The initiative is part of the ongoing care but also the essential recognition of the work of our teachers, who offer their best in the educational process.
