Larnaca or Paphos — which one

Larnaca (LCA) is the usual choice: the main point of entry, closest to Nicosia and Ayia Napa, and the airport most business flights use.
Paphos (PFO) suits the west of the island — Paphos itself, Coral Bay, Polis. From Limassol the two are roughly comparable by road, so the decision is usually about where you are staying rather than about the airport.

Tell us the address you are going to, not the airport, and we will say which one saves you time.

Why people fly private to Cyprus

Three patterns, in the order we see them. Business travel to Limassol, where the shipping, legal and financial firms are, and where scheduled connections cost a whole day. Summer arrivals to the coast with luggage that does not fit an airline’s allowance. And the Levant sector — Tel Aviv, Beirut, Amman — where Cyprus is an hour away and a private aircraft turns a connection into a direct flight.

What to know before booking a private flight to Cyprus

Notice. Four hours is the minimum worth asking for; whether an aircraft actually departs in that time depends on availability, slots and permits. Details on the short-notice page.
Summer. July and August are the busiest weeks on the island. The aircraft available on a Friday in August is not the aircraft available on a Tuesday in November, and the price follows.
The price is for the aircraft. Six passengers pay the same as two, up to the cabin’s capacity. What is inside the figure and what is not is on the inclusions page.

Questions we are asked about leasing

These are the questions that bring people to this page. The answers are the same ones we give on the telephone.

What is the difference between leasing and chartering a private jet?

A charter is a single flight: the operator supplies the aircraft, the crew, the fuel and the insurance, and you pay for that flight. A lease puts an aircraft at your disposal for a defined term, usually with a minimum number of hours and an operating commitment attached.

Do I need a lease if I fly a few times a year?

Almost certainly not. A lease is worth its obligations when an aircraft flies continuously over a term. For occasional trips a charter costs less and commits you to nothing beyond the flight you book.

What is the difference between a dry lease and a wet lease?

A dry lease is the aircraft alone: you or an operator you appoint provide the crew, the maintenance and the insurance, and you need an operating certificate. A wet lease includes the aircraft, the crew, the maintenance and the insurance, and the lessor keeps the operating responsibility.

Does Diamond Executive Aero Services lease aircraft?

No. We arrange private charter flights, jet sharing, empty legs and helicopter transfers. We do not lease aircraft and we do not broker leases.

Are there corporate jets for lease through Diamond Executive Aero Services?

No. We do not lease aircraft and we do not broker leases, for corporate clients or anyone else. What we do arrange is the flight itself: a whole aircraft on your dates, a seat on a shared flight, or an empty leg. If a lease is genuinely what your flying pattern calls for, we will say so plainly rather than sell you something else.

How much does it cost to lease a private jet compared with chartering one?

A lease carries a term commitment, a minimum number of hours and the operating obligations that come with them, so the meaningful comparison is annual cost against annual usage rather than one flight against another. As a rule of thumb, below roughly two hundred hours a year chartering each flight costs less and commits you to nothing. Tell us how much you actually fly and we will do the arithmetic with you, including the case where the answer is that you do not need us.
