Speaking before the 60th Annual General Assembly Monday afternoon, Lazarides said that it is evident in the air transport environment that only the most competitive and effective companies will survive. There is no room to rest on ones laurels, he said, as he presented the economic results for 2006 and the companys priorities for 2007. According to the results, the Cyprus Airways Group posted a net loss of 4.3 million pounds (one Cyprus pound trades at approximately 0.4360 US dollars) compared to 22.6 million in 2005.

The other young gun, Fabian Heidegger (ITA), also sailed his throw out finishing Sundays blue fleet race in 15th, but still hangs onto third overall. JP Tobin (NZL), Joao Rodrigues (POR) and Ivan Pastor (ESP) are all square in fourth overall, the three sailed top five performances today.
