www.flyglobespan.comEasyjet and the likes don't find it economically viable to fly to Cyprus not just because of taxes it is more to do with the amount of flights and sector times. At the moment they fly London-Istanbul which is just on the edge of the staff hours to do a return journey in one sector. I think Cyprus may be just a little far for that.
I think your are right, I think range of aircraft and flight times are the problem, if you look at Easyjet's map you will see that Cyprus is just outside current destinations, does anyone know how the flight time to Istanbul compares to flight time to Cyprus. Perhaps someone in the air travel business can tell us if we will ever get buget airlines flying to Cyprus
I remember writing to MD a couple of years ago, I think his name was Andy Harris or something like that, asking about flights to Cyprus. The reply was not in any great detail however it did say that it was something that they may consider in the future but not at the moment and thanked me for my continued support etc etc...
There are some airlines who do some cheap seats, my wife got a flight from Paphos to the UK, one way, last month for £14.99 excl taxes with my travel so I am afraid its trial and error trawling the web. She got a flight back with Euro cypria for £60 a week later. These flights were booked last minute due to a family bereavement back home.
Another website I find useful is skyscanner.net who compare travel companies.
