930 km eastward and about 1 h 35 aloft, usually in a light or midsize cabin. This is the only sector on our list that ends where our own people sit: at the Cypriot end the crew, the handling and the desk answering the telephone are ours to organise directly, not somebody else’s to relay. You will find no fixed figure printed below, and the reasoning is set out in full further down rather than tucked away. Send dates and a head count; something written arrives inside thirty minutes and +357 95 119759 is staffed at every hour.
Ninety-odd minutes over the eastern Mediterranean, from the Attic plain to the southern shore of Cyprus. Over a distance this modest the hours you save are not saved aloft at all – they are saved in the quarter of an hour at either end that a business-aviation terminal asks for instead of the two hours a terminal building asks for. Arranged round the clock.
REQUEST A QUOTENine hundred and thirty kilometres of open water, which in a light cabin comes to roughly an hour and a half and very little excitement. What earns the eastbound leg a page of its own is where it finishes. For a great many parties Athens is a staging post rather than a home, and the aeroplane carrying them onward to Cyprus is putting down at the field our own operations desk occupies. That half of the day is arranged by the people who work there, which is why it is the uncomplicated half.
Great-circle distance from OurAirports coordinates, retrieved 23 August 2026. The duration is modelled from times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes on this site; it holds no view about heading and it shifts with airway routing, wind, slots and type. The real schedule lives in your quotation.
One departure, one arrival, and a single alternative that matters only if the week finishes at the western end of Cyprus rather than the eastern. The island is small without being a single point, and the wrong field at the end of a ninety-five minute flight can consume the time the flight just bought you.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athens | ATH / LGAV | departure | Where the leg begins. The mainland gateway for the city, for the Attica coast and for everybody returning off the Cyclades, which for most parties is done by rotor or by boat rather than by jet. Tell us when you expect to be back on the mainland and the departure gets built around that rather than around an optimistic guess about the last leg in from the islands. |
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | 930 km | Your arrival, and our own base. The island’s principal business-aviation gateway, handling at any hour, and the correct field for Nicosia, Ayia Napa, Protaras and the eastern half of Limassol. Aircraft, crew and handling here are organised by us directly rather than through a chain of intermediaries, which is what makes the arriving half of the day quick. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | alternative arrival | The right finish if you are staying in Paphos or Polis and have no wish to drive the length of the island after landing. Handling and aircraft availability run thinner here than at Larnaca, so raise it early and we will say at once what can be put together rather than finding out on the day. |

The distance sits comfortably within light-jet reach, so this is one of those legs where range never enters the discussion. Around an hour and thirty-five minutes aloft. What settles the choice is how many seats need filling and what is riding in the hold behind them – and coming east off a Greek summer, the hold is usually the honest answer.
The usual answer here. A light cabin carrying several times the range this asks for, and on a corridor we work as often as this one, the type likeliest to be available tomorrow.
See the Phenom 300 ›A midsize cabin you can stand up in, for a family or a working group. Over ninety-five minutes the height counts for less than the seats do, but if Cyprus means a meeting rather than a beach it earns its keep.
See the Citation XLS+ ›The step upward when the luggage rather than the party is what constrains you: a full galley, a lavatory of its own, and baggage volume for a group that has just spent a fortnight among the islands.
See the Hawker 800XP ›All three carry their own entries in our fleet, and larger cabins can be arranged on this leg as well.
There is no fixed figure here. A number blind to your dates, your head count and which aeroplane is genuinely free that week is not a price, and over a leg this short it would be wrong by more than the leg is worth.
Public numbers do exist, and you may as well have them, because they were published for this heading rather than the other one. LunaJets lists EUR 11,200 against a Citation Mustang, EUR 18,400 against a Hawker 850XP and EUR 21,700 against a Gulfstream GIV-SP for Athens to Larnaca. Those pages carry no date and were retrieved on 23 August 2026, and not one of them describes an aeroplane of ours or a quotation of ours. The same pages put the opposite heading higher across all three types – EUR 12,800, EUR 20,100 and EUR 24,000 – and we can report what they say without being able to explain why they say it.
Beyond those, what is public are hourly rates for the cabin class rather than prices for the pairing. Brokers put European light and midsize cabins at EUR 4,600 to 9,700 an hour, others quote from EUR 2,900 to 3,500, others again USD 3,750 to 4,600, all retrieved during 2026. They serve to audit a quotation and are useless for constructing one: multiply any of them by an hour and thirty-five minutes and you have omitted the crew day, the landing and handling at both ends, and whether the aeroplane stays in Cyprus alongside you or is released and has to be fetched back.
On this heading one question is worth putting to every quotation you hold, ours included: where does the aeroplane sleep afterwards? Flying east into Cyprus is the direction in which much of the regional fleet is heading home rather than setting out, and an aircraft that was going to make the movement anyway prices quite differently from one despatched across the water to collect you. If your date has a day of give in it, say so and we will tell you what is already pointed this way.
Every figure above belongs to a third party and appears so that you can audit any quotation you receive, ours included. None is a price for your flight. Pairing figures come from the LunaJets Athens and Larnaca route pages, which carry no date and were retrieved on 23 August 2026. The hourly bands come from LunaJets for Europe, undated; from Eurosky dated 19 February 2026; and from Paramount Business Jets dated August 2026. A price exists only once Diamond Executive Aero Services has written one against your dates. +357 95 119759, round the clock.
GET A FIRM PRICEA single season rather than two, and it is the predictable one. The eastern Mediterranean fills from June and drains from October, and the months either side of the crest are where availability and value coincide. Unlike the Greek islands, Cyprus keeps an ordinary commercial diary all year, which is why this corridor never quite stops.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | The Mediterranean season and the busiest stretch at either end. Aeroplanes that would otherwise idle in Cyprus are working, and Athens is where everybody coming back off the islands converges. | Allow more notice than you would in winter, and hand us the departure hour rather than just the date, so that the Athens handling window is nailed down before you commit to anything. |
| May and October | The bracketing months. Either the weather has turned while the season has not begun, or the season has just ended and the fleet has yet to stand down. | Where availability and value meet. Given a day or two of give, ask what is repositioning through Athens that week – eastbound carries the better odds. |
| November to April | Outside the holiday pattern entirely. Cyprus works a normal commercial calendar all year, so traffic on this corridor does not halt; it merely stops competing with holiday demand. | The simplest months to buy at short notice. A departure inside the same week is realistic and frequently the same day. |
For a large share of the people we put down in Cyprus the island is a junction rather than a destination, and it is where our own desk sits. A further leg settled in the same conversation almost always costs less than one bought a week later.
Onward east instead of doubling back into Europe – the natural continuation when the Gulf was where the journey was always headed.
Larnaca to Dubai ›The shortest hop off the island and among the busiest things our desk arranges. Worth raising in the same message rather than after you have landed.
Larnaca to Beirut ›The other short eastern leg, and the one most often added when Cyprus is a working stop inside a fortnight rather than the end of it.
Larnaca to Tel Aviv ›Everything we fly off the island is gathered on the Cyprus charter page, and repositioning flights between the Greek mainland and Cyprus occur often enough to be worth asking about: see current empty legs.
