2. What flights are available to Northern Cyprus now?
|
North Cyprus has direct air links only with Turkey, where all planes from Europe must land prior to flying on to North Cyprus. This is due to the Chicago Convention whereby North Cyprus has no recognised international ports and all air and sea traffic must land in Turkey and proceed to North Cyprus as an ‘internal’ traffic. More than 90 flights to Northern Cyprus arrive per week at Ercan Airport during the summer. Currently, there are approximately 20 flights per week to North Cyprus from London (Heathrow, Gatwick and Stanstead). For passenger convenience most of them in the evening.
There are also flights to North Cyprus from Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. There is also a big selection of ferries from Turkey – the fastest is 2 hours. |
