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 to freely 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, non-stop services to and from Larnaca airport (Republic of Cyprus). Pegasus Airlines and Cyprus Turkish Airlines flights operate direct into Ercan airport (north Cyprus) and include a stop en-route of approximately 45 minutes. No change of aircraft or disembarkation is involved. Clients flying into Larnaca airport should expect only around 40 minutes increase in transfer times between the airport and their chosen accommodation.
