London to Larnaca is a 3,288 km eastbound sector of about 4 h 34 in the air, Luton to Larnaca, and a heavy jet crosses it non-stop with the cabin full. Indicative price from €37 000 for the whole aircraft, one way. Send the dates and the passenger count and a written quotation follows inside 30 minutes; the operations desk is staffed at every hour on +357 95 119759.
The outbound leg to Cyprus, flown east and non-stop in about four and a half hours. Three London fields to leave from, Larnaca or Paphos to land at, and handling at the far end arranged by the people who work there.
REQUEST A QUOTEThe longest sector we publish, and the one where the aircraft is a real constraint rather than a matter of taste: 3,288 km from London Luton with a full cabin and full luggage is heavy-jet territory if you want to arrive without a fuel stop or a conversation about payload. Going east, the upper winds over Europe blow predominantly from the west, so this leg normally has them behind it while the flight home has them against - the time below is a direction-neutral estimate and takes no view of that. At the Larnaca end the aircraft, the crew, the handling agent and the operations desk are ours to organise directly rather than through a chain of brokers.
Leaving London you have a three-way choice, and it is settled on the ground rather than in the air: the three sectors differ by about fifty kilometres, which is nothing over four and a half hours. Arriving in Cyprus the choice is real - Larnaca for the centre and the east of the island, Paphos if you are going west.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | 3,288 km | The default departure for this sector and the field every distance and time on this page is measured from. North London and the M1, and the deepest choice of heavy aircraft in the UK on any given day - which is what usually decides that we quote from here. |
| London Biggin Hill | BQH / EGKB | 3,240 km | South and south-east London, Kent and the City. At 3,240 km it is the shortest of the three sectors to Cyprus, by about fifty kilometres - worth knowing, but not worth a longer drive to reach. |
| Farnborough | FAB / EGLF | 3,291 km | Surrey, Hampshire and the west. Purely business aviation with no scheduled traffic at all, which gives the quickest turn on the ground when you are leaving in a hurry. The sector is 3,291 km. |
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | arrival | Where the sector ends, and the island's main business-aviation gateway. Best if you are heading for Nicosia, Ayia Napa, Protaras or eastern Limassol. Passport control applies on arrival - Cyprus is a member of the European Union but is not part of the Schengen area, and the United Kingdom is outside both - and at a business-aviation terminal that is a few minutes beside the aircraft rather than a queue. Our desk here is staffed 24 hours a day, so a landing at an awkward hour is a scheduling question rather than an operational one. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | 3,228 km from Luton | The arrival alternative, and the right one if you are going to Paphos or Polis. At 3,228 km from Luton it is marginally the shortest sector of all, though the difference disappears inside the estimate. Handling and aircraft availability are thinner here, so ask early rather than on the day. |

3,288 km eastbound is a heavy-jet sector, and the three types below all cross it non-stop with the cabin full and the hold loaded. On a flight of four and a half hours that is the whole point of chartering rather than flying scheduled: nobody is asked to leave a bag behind so the aeroplane can carry fuel.
Thirteen passengers, 7,223 km of range and a 6.80 cubic metre hold - by some distance the largest luggage volume on this site, which is what makes it the first type we put forward on a summer run out to the island. The aircraft we use most often on our own published Cyprus flights.
See the Embraer Legacy 650 ›Nine to twelve passengers and 7,408 km of range. The widest and quietest cabin of the three, which counts for most when the party is smaller than the seat count and would rather spend the four and a half hours round a table. The range margin means a diversion never becomes a fuel question.
See the Bombardier Challenger 605 ›Twelve to fourteen passengers, 8,890 km of range and the fastest type here at 926 km/h. Three engines and several separate cabin areas - the one to ask for when part of the party needs to work on the way out and part of it needs to sleep.
See the Dassault Falcon 900 ›Each of the three has its own page in our fleet. A smaller cabin can be made to fly this sector, but the trade is luggage or passengers against fuel - tell us the party first and we will propose the type second.

Two published references exist for this pairing and they are not measuring the same thing: one is a one-way whole-aircraft figure going out, the other a three-night return with the aircraft waiting on the island. Both are printed below with their sources so that the difference is visible rather than buried.

Cyprus is not a four-month destination, and on the outbound leg that matters. The leisure peak is real, but underneath it the island runs a shipping, legal and fund-management economy on a normal working calendar, and that traffic does not stop in November.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | The leisure peak, and out of London this is the direction everyone wants. Long ground stops are the norm, so the aircraft either waits on the island or flies home empty and comes back for you. | Three to four weeks. Book the return in the same conversation: on a sector this long, whether the aircraft waits or repositions moves the price more than the choice of type does. |
| May and October | Warm, quiet and far easier to place in either direction. The shoulder months are the best-value weeks of the year to fly out. | A week or two ahead is enough, and the London field you leave from is more likely to be the one you actually wanted. |
| Easter and Christmas | Two concentrated spikes of family travel, each squeezed into a few days and each running out of London in one week and back in the next. | Commit as early as you can. The days on either side of the obvious ones are considerably easier to place than the obvious ones themselves. |
| November to April | Business rather than leisure, and the outbound leg thins out with it. Cyprus keeps a normal calendar and the weather rarely interferes with operations at either end. | Short notice is realistic in this window. The desk at the Larnaca end is staffed 24 hours a day, so an arrival at an unsociable hour is not the obstacle people expect. |

The island is small, and for a good number of parties Larnaca is a stop rather than a destination.
Larnaca is the practical airport for Nicosia, Ayia Napa, Protaras and eastern Limassol. If you are going west, say so - Paphos is 3,228 km from Luton and may be the better arrival.
Ask about Paphos ›We arrange helicopters as well as jets. Our own published rates start at 750 EUR per hour on a Eurocopter AS350, with an EC130 and a Bell 429 also on the published list.
Helicopter charter ›Larnaca to Nice is 2,461 km and about three and a half hours - a route we publish, and one we regularly have as an empty leg.
Larnaca to Nice ›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.
