Larnaca to Ben Gurion in about 51 minutes - the shortest international sector we publish, and the only one flown from our own doorstep. Cyprus is where Diamond Executive Aero Services is based, so the aircraft usually does not have to be flown in first.
REQUEST A QUOTEOnly 339 km of sea separate Larnaca from Tel Aviv, yet this is a working business-aviation corridor rather than a novelty hop. WingX reported in April 2024 that Cyprus was the leading business-jet connection out of Tel Aviv, with connections up 23 percent year on year. We quote that second-hand, because the original bulletin is no longer openly readable.
Cyprus has two international airports and this route can start at either of them, while for Tel Aviv itself the arrival is Ben Gurion. The choice at the Cyprus end is usually made by where you are staying on the island rather than by the aircraft, because the flying time barely changes.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | 339 km | An airport we work from routinely. If you are on the south or east of the island this is both the shortest drive and the quickest aircraft to arrange, because more often than not the aeroplane is already sitting here. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | west coast | You are staying around Paphos, Latchi or the Akamas and would rather not drive the length of the island first. Tell us and we will price the sector from Paphos instead. |
| Tel Aviv Ben Gurion | TLV / LLBG | arrival | The arrival field. Israeli security procedure applies to private flights as it does to everything else, so we file passenger details early and confirm the handling window with you before the day rather than on the morning. |

At 339 km and about 51 minutes this is a light-jet sector by any measure. Nothing here is a range question - a light jet crosses it with fuel to spare - so the decision comes down to how many of you there are, how much luggage is coming, and which aircraft happens to be standing in Larnaca that morning.
The type we reach for first out of Larnaca. Quick to arrange, economical on a leg this short, and with enough hold for a working party's cases on a same-day return to Tel Aviv.
See the Phenom 300 ›A smaller cabin and a lower running cost, which makes sense when two or three of you are going over for meetings and coming back the same evening. On a 51-minute leg the cabin difference is barely noticed.
See the Citation CJ2 ›The value option when the date is fixed and booked well ahead. Slower than the other two, but on a sector measured in minutes rather than hours that costs you very little.
See the Citation Bravo ›All three types are on our own fleet pages. Heavier cabins are available on this sector too if the party or the luggage calls for one.

This is one of the few routes in this section where third-party brokers actually publish figures, which means you can sanity-check any quotation you are given - ours included. The numbers below are brokers' published estimates for the Larnaca pairing, reprinted as they stand. They are not our offer and they bind nobody.

The Mediterranean summer sets the shape of this route, with June to September the peak and May and October the shoulder. But on this particular pair the weekly rhythm matters as much as the calendar, because the Israeli working week is not the European one.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | Peak season in both directions - Israeli families out to the Cyprus coast, and business and leisure traffic coming the other way. The island's aircraft are working hard and so are the handlers. | Two to three weeks ahead for a weekend departure, and longer if you want a specific type rather than whatever is free. |
| May and October | The shoulder months. Warm enough for the coast at both ends, quiet enough that a same-week booking is usually realistic. | The easiest time of year to get the aircraft you actually wanted. |
| November to April | Off season on both coasts. Traffic thins and repositioning legs around the eastern Mediterranean become more common. | Ask us about empty legs if your dates can move by a day either way. |
| Any month: Thursday and Sunday | The Israeli working week runs Sunday to Thursday, so outbound demand clusters on Thursday afternoon and the return on Saturday night and Sunday morning - the mirror image of the European pattern. | Fly midweek if you can. Both the aircraft and the handling slots are easier to get. |
Very few people on this sector are finishing their travel in Tel Aviv, and a fair number are using Cyprus as a staging point for somewhere else entirely. These are the connections we arrange most often off the back of this route.
Larnaca to Nice is the long western leg most of our eastern Mediterranean passengers take next. It needs a bigger cabin than this 51-minute hop does, so expect a different aircraft.
Larnaca to Nice ›The UK connection in the other direction. Larnaca to London is a full heavy-jet sector and sits in a different price bracket entirely from this one.
London to Larnaca ›Aircraft repositioning between Larnaca, Tel Aviv, Athens and the Greek islands throw off short empty sectors constantly. If your dates are loose this is much the cheapest way to fly the route.
Current empty legs ›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.
