About Cyprus Airways
Cyprus Airways, the national carrier of Cyprus, was founded on September 24, 1947, its shareholders being British European Airways (44,9%), the Cyprus Government (22,45%), and a number of individuals (32,65%). The new airline achieved lift-off with three 21-seater Douglas Dakota aircraft. Cyprus Airways operated from the airport that had been established in Nicosia. In those pioneering days the new national carrier provided services to Athens, London, Beirut, Cairo, Haifa, Istanbul, Alexandria and Rome.
The first of two Airbus A330 aircraft arrived at Larnaca Airport in April 2003 and was named Ammochostos, while a second one, named “Keryneia”, followed in early July of the same year. The fleet therefore in 2003, consists of eight Airbus A320’s, two A319’s and two A330’s. Eurocypria, Cyprus Airways’ subsidiary charter company operates with four brand new Boeing 737-800.
In June 2003 Cyprus Airways launched Hellas Jet, an associated company based in Athens. Hellas Jet serves currently four European destinations, London (Heathrow and Gatwick), Paris and Brussels. Its fleet consists of three new Airbus A320 aircraft.
