Cyprus Airways is set to resume direct flights between London and Larnaca for the first time in over a decade. The carrier will launch daily services on April 23, 2027, connecting London Stansted with the Cypriot coastal city.
The airline last operated regular flights to London in 2015, when it was a state-owned company under different ownership. The route also previously served Stansted airport.
