Baku to Larnaca measures 1,571 km and takes roughly 2 h 24 airborne, flown without a stop in a super-midsize cabin – a Challenger 350, a Legacy 500 or a Gulfstream G280. Indicative price from €10 800 for the whole aircraft, one way. Flown westbound the sector is identical; the economics are not. We are based in Cyprus, which helps you a great deal going east and not at all going west – unless the two legs are bought together, which is the point of this page.

Caspian shore to eastern Mediterranean in under two and a half hours, with no change of aeroplane and no terminal in between. Name the party and the dates and we will report what is actually sitting in the region on them – as distinct from what could be brought there.
REQUEST A QUOTETwo and a half hours west across the Caucasus and the Black Sea corridor, routine for the class and undemanding on the aeroplane. The variable worth understanding before you compare quotations is not the airports and not the weather: it is where the aircraft was standing the night before. Eastbound out of Cyprus that answer is usually flattering, because this is where we are. Westbound out of Baku it is an honest question, and the answer normally depends on whether the aircraft brought you east in the first place.
There are alternatives at either end, and flying this way it is the Cypriot side where the second name on the list is frequently the one you actually want.
| Field | Code | Role on this route | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baku Heydar Aliyev | GYD / UBBB | departure | Full handling with a dedicated business aviation terminal, and straightforward at most hours of the day. Nothing at this end complicates the flight. What is worth naming at the enquiry is the hour, because the aircraft’s own arrival into Baku – whether it slept there or has to come for you – is set by the departure time you choose. |
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | arrival | The main Cyprus field, with business aviation handling at any hour, and the one most of our own flights work from. A late arrival is not a problem here, which is useful on a westbound sector where you gain hours against the clock. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | alternative arrival | The western field, closer to Limassol and the west coast. Larnaca and Paphos are about forty-five minutes apart by road, so if your destination on the island is western, landing here saves the drive rather than adding one. |
| Tbilisi | TBS / UGTB | regional alternative departure | About an hour on by air from Baku, and frequently part of the same trip. If the week took in more of the Caucasus than Azerbaijan, the westbound leg can start from here instead and be priced as one itinerary. |
| Ganja | KVD / UBBG | situational | For western Azerbaijan, subject to handling and hours. Worth raising at the enquiry rather than assuming it. |
What handling and slots allow moves from one season to the next, so we verify both against the dates you are actually flying instead of quoting a rule of thumb.
Two and a half hours with a full cabin and real luggage puts this squarely in the super-midsize class. It is a routine nonstop for all three types below, with range margin left for weather and holding.
The usual answer on Cyprus sectors: super-midsize cabin, stand-up height, and the range to fly this nonstop with the hold full.
Challenger 350 ›Comparable reach with a quiet cabin, and often the aircraft that is actually free when the Challenger is not.
Legacy 500 ›Fast and long-legged for its class. The one to ask about when the schedule is tight at both ends of the day.
Gulfstream G280 ›From €10 800 one way for the whole aircraft. That is a floor we calculated, not a quotation, and the sum behind it belongs on the page.
No published price for this city pair has reached us from a source we would be willing to reprint, in either direction, so we built our own figure instead of borrowing somebody else’s: 2.40 hours charged, at the published starting rate of €4 500 an hour for the cabin class (Eurosky, 19.02.2026), rounded down. A two-hour minimum applies to shorter sectors; this one is longer, so the flight time does the work. It is the same floor we publish on the eastbound page, and for a plain reason – the cabin class is the same and 2 h 24 is 2 h 24 whichever direction you fly it.
Where the two directions genuinely differ is above the floor. On the eastbound leg we can often tell you the aircraft is already in Cyprus. Leaving Baku we usually cannot, and it would be easy and dishonest to imply otherwise: either the aeroplane is finishing something in the region, or it is flown out empty to collect you and somebody pays for that sector. This is the single question to put to every quotation you are holding, ours included, and it is why we ask for the outbound date even when you are only enquiring about the way home. Bought as a pair, the empty sector often disappears entirely.
For checking a figure against the market, brokers publish €4 600 to €9 700 an hour for midsize jets in Europe (undated, retrieved 23.08.2026), entry rates from €2 900 to €3 500 an hour (19.02.2026) and $3 750 to $4 600 an hour for light to midsize cabins (August 2026), with empty-leg discounts published at 50 to 75 per cent. Those are their numbers, not ours.
GET A FIRM PRICEEvery rate above belongs to somebody else and is reproduced purely so you have a yardstick. None of them is an offer from us. What we stand behind is a written quotation set against your own dates.
There are two calendars at work here and they point opposite ways. Going west, it is the quieter half of the year that works in your favour.
June to September is the peak in both directions, and the constraints then are European handling and island parking rather than whether an aeroplane exists. Book early and ask about parking specifically, not only about the aircraft. Easter and Christmas produce short sharp peaks either side of the holiday, and the days immediately around it go first – fix those dates early or accept what is left.
From October to April Cyprus keeps flying while much of Europe slows, and availability is good. Those are the best months on this pairing for short notice and the best months to ask about a repositioning flight, because aircraft finishing work in the region and heading back west are exactly the movement you want. May and late September are the shoulder weeks: everything open, softer pricing, and quotations that sit closer to the floor above.
For most parties Cyprus is the base rather than the last stop. These are the sectors we are most often asked to quote in the same itinerary as this one.
The long westbound continuation, published in its own right. The usual next leg when Cyprus is a stop on the way rather than the destination.
Larnaca to London ›Back into the Caucasus. Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan sit within an hour or so of each other, and three cities priced as one itinerary costs considerably less than three bookings.
Larnaca to Tbilisi ›The eastbound half of the same trip, published as a page of its own. Quoted with this one, the pair is almost always better than two singles.
Larnaca to Baku ›Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
