After more than three decades of indirect flights to Northern Cyprus, recent EU legislation and a relaxation of border controls between the north and south of the island have made it possible for clients visiting the resorts of Kyrenia and Famagusta freely to use airlines and airports serving the republic of Cyprus and then transfer over the 'border' into the north. The effect of this significant change in travel arrangements is dramatic, with flight times reduced by almost a third.
Of equal significance is that with the 'opening up' of airports in the Republic of Cyprus to visitors traveling to the north, there is now a much greater selection of UK based airlines and departure airports to choose from. The immediate effect is that we can now offer a choice of six different airlines and 10 departure airports as part of our holiday programme.
Click on the various airline logos to the left for full details of flights and carriers. Flights with British Airways, First Choice, Monarch, Thomas Cook and XL are direct and non-stop services to Larnaca airport. Please note that Pegasus Airlines and Cyprus Turkish Airlines flights operate direct into Ercan airport and include a courtesy stop en-route of approximately 45 minutes. Clients flying via the south of the island with all other airlines should expect only around 30 minutes increase in transfer times between the airport and their accommodation.
