How to travel around Cyprus by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Cyprus

  • Check domestic flight details before booking
    This page does not currently list a verified, publicly bookable domestic passenger timetable. That reflects the information verified for this page; it does not confirm that private, charter, humanitarian, sightseeing or other special flights are unavailable. Before booking, confirm the airport pair, operating date, passenger eligibility and ticket availability with the operator.

Arriving from another country

  • Check arrival matters with passport control
    Hermes directs arrival enquiries to the Aliens and Immigration Passport Control Unit and lists separate Larnaka and Pafos contacts. Verify requirements for your documents and itinerary; airport information does not establish universal visa exemption.
