Eurobank buyback, Cyprus airport traffic and shipping carbon proposals highlighted

Nicosia, Cyprus. Eurobank repurchased 1,099,627 of its own shares on Euronext Athens between August 3 and August 7, 2026, while Cyprus airports handled around 50,000 passengers and 325 flights daily during the summer peak. Shipping companies in Cyprus and Greece also face differing potential carbon costs under four rival proposals at the International Maritime Organisation.

Eurobank share repurchase

Eurobank announced on Monday that it bought back the shares at an average price of €4.4739 each, with total spending reaching €4,919,628.39.

The transactions were executed through Eurobank Equities Single Member Investment Firm in accordance with Article 49 of Law 4548/2018.

The ongoing share buyback programme was approved by shareholders at the bank’s annual general meeting on April 28, 2026.

Airport traffic and road access

Hermes Airports director of aviation development, marketing and communications Maria Kouroupi said Larnaca airport was operating about 230 daily flights, serving around 36,000 arriving and departing passengers each day.

Paphos airport was handling about 14,000 passengers daily across 95 flights, she added.

The road leading to the exits of Larnaca airport’s arrivals area has reopened to private vehicles after months of restricted access.

Private cars may enter the arrivals area for brief stops to collect passengers, while police officers are stationed there to supervise traffic and prevent congestion.

Shipping carbon costs

Shipping companies in Cyprus and Greece could face substantially different carbon bills depending on which of four competing proposals is adopted by the International Maritime Organisation.

The options range from no direct greenhouse gas charge to a Tier 1 compliance price of $300 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent.
