The above site URL was publicized on the ATCA website. If the information contained within it is true, then direct flights to the northern Administration's principal airport of Tymbou/Ercan from the United Kingdom will be starting soon. Furthermore, this is being done with the consent of the RoCy government. If this is true, then this is an incredible concession made by President Kristofas. Does anyone on this forum know more about this?



I flew to Ercan on a direct flight from Stansted airport. We thought that it would land at Antalya, but never did. No I did not fall asleep. I know it was not official, but it had been like that for a while.


IT WAS NON-STOP!
Bet I can tell you what day the flight was, is now a regular occurance, why waste fuel landing/taking off again if all pax are bound for Ercan?.



Of that, I have no doubt. Good economy, I dare say. :lol:

There will still be no Dircte Flights!! All flight plans and flights are via Ankara FIR. All flights are recorded as illegal, the second they enter Nicosia FIR!!

As I said, my flight was scheduled to fly from Stansted to Tymbou/Ercan with a stopover at Antalya. There was no stopover.

I guarantee you 100%, that the CAA received a flight plan going via Turkey!! The aircraft would never be cleared to a direct to NICOSIA FIR track.

We could go on about this all day. You can believe anything you like.

London transport made the same mistake thinking that advertising North Cyprus was illegal. You should see the adverts all over the underground now :wink:


The flights are just a matter of Insurance. Confusion stops the insurance companies covering flights to Ercan. Planes that have no passengers to drop off in Turkey can just fly over Turkey and whilst in the air obtain a new flight number and insurance cover from Turkey and continue on its way. :roll:
