Cyprus is stepping up its air connectivity this summer, with Larnaca and Paphos airports offering an expanded network of destinations across Europe and the Middle East.

The move, driven by Hermes Airports in close partnership with airlines and tourism stakeholders, aims to enhance options for residents and support the island’s growing visitor flows.

Larnaca Airport sees the return of direct connections to major cities and sought-after holiday spots.

Condor has introduced flights to Frankfurt, Zurich and Düsseldorf, while SkyExpress has launched a service to Heraklion.

Cyprus Airways is broadening its network with routes to Venice, Barcelona, Preveza, Rhodes, Santorini and Skiathos, each operating twice weekly.

Helvetic Airways to Bern, Eurowings flights to Berlin, Salzburg and Graz, and Saudia’s service to Riyadh are among the routes making a comeback.

EasyJet has added Belfast and Nantes, while TUI has brought in Belfast, Cardiff and Newcastle.

The summer schedule also sees the return of Braathens flights to Gothenburg and Helsinki, Smartwings to Prague, Bratislava and other Eastern European cities, Swiss to Geneva, and Wizz Air to Vienna.

At the same time, Paphos Airport is strengthening its role as a key entry point to Cyprus.

Returning Ryanair services include Mykonos and Rhodes, operating four times a week, and twice-weekly flights to Toulouse and Marseille.

Finally, TUI has added Luton and Norwich to its offering, while Transavia has launched a weekly connection to Lyon
