Flying to cyprus has never been easier, with a wide variety of flights to suit every budget and from many destinations in the UK and Europe.

Both the international airports at Larnaca (LCA) and Paphos (PFO) are getting a total revamp and being redesigned, rebuilt and offering many more and much better facilities than in the past. Visitors and residents experience of travel to and from cyprus should improve greatly.  A new passenger terminal at Paphos International Airport is scheduled to open in November 2008 and the new Larnaca Airport is due to open in November 2009 according to Hermes Airports Ltd, who now officially operates the two cyprus Airports.  The upgrade is being done under a rapid design and build contract and will offer “world class state-of-the-art facilities, with an emphasis on excellent customer services”.  Both airports are having runways extended and passenger capacity is expected to be around 2.7 million per annum for Paphos and 7.5 million initially at Larnaca, increasing with demand to 9 million by 2013.  Live flight information for both airports is now available on the Hermes official website.  This handy featured is greatly appreciated by residents awaiting guest arrivals, as is the recent addition of Park and Fly facilities at both Larnaca and Paphos Airports.

Easyjet have recently taken over the BA franchise, GB Airways and this offers travelers a budget option, while Monarch have also started regular flights.  Both Larnaca and Paphos are well served by a variety of charter  airlines including the big names such as Thomas Cook, Thompson, XL and Olympic to name a few, together with the scheduled carriers, British Airways and cyprus Airways.  For those travelling from Scotland, Globescan offer some very good deals from Glasgow to Paphos.

On the continent, Lufthansa started a new route from Munich to cyprus in March and Blue Air are now flying in from Romania.  These additions to the regular flights from other parts of Europe such as Belgium, Malta, Italy and France means that the unique charms that cyprus has to offer, are now even easier to reach.
