CYPRIAN AIRLINE COMPANIES

Cyprus Airways: http://www.cyprusairways.com/


History:Cyprus Airways was established on 24 September 1947 as a joint venture between the Cypriot Government, BEA (British European Airways) and private interests. Operations commenced on 18 April 1948 with Douglas DC-3 aircraft on regional routes from Nicosia. Under a charter agreement, Cyprus Airways began to use BEA Vickers Viscount airliners from 18 April 1953 over the Athens-Nicosia sector as a continuation of the BEA London-Rome-Athens service. BEA took over the operation of all Cyprus Airways services effective 26 January 1958 by special arrangement.

The first Hawker-Siddeley Trident jet was introduced in September 1969. In all, Cyprus Airways used five Trident jets, three of them acquired from BEA, but two units were destroyed in the wake of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and the Turkish Air Force attack on Nicosia airport in July 1974 while the third unit had to be abandoned. All of the Cypriot airline's operations had to be suspended at that time.

Cyprus Airways was able to restart limited operations from Larnaca on 8 February 1975. In 1992, it established its wholly-owned charter subsidiary Eurocypria Airlines to obtain a greater share of the burgeoning inbound IT charter market to Cyprus. It founded Hellas Jet in Athens (Greece) in 2002, holding a 75% share of that carrier. Cyprus Airways is owned by the Government of Cyprus (69.62%) and private shareholders (30.38%)

The Cyprus Airways fleet : 2 AIRBUS A330-200, 7 AIRBUS A320-200, 2 A319-100.

Eurocypria Airlines: http://www.eurocypria.com/

History: The airline was established on 12 June 1991 and was the first Cyprus based charter airline. Operations began on 25 March 1992 with two brand new Airbus A320 aircraft and two more were added later. Since 2001 it has also operated scheduled services from Cyprus, as well as charter flights. In 2003 Eurocypria replaced its Airbus fleet with four brand new Boeing 737-800 aircraft. An Airbus A320 was sold to Cyprus Airways. A poor financial situation at its owner, Cyprus Airways, and the fact it is one of the few ventures of Cyprus Airways to make a profit, means that the government of the Republic of Cyprus is planning on buying the airline as a contingency plan to operate it as the country's flag carrier.

The Eurocypria Airlines fleet : 5 Β737-800.
