Manchester to Larnaca is 3,469 km and about 4 h 47 non-stop on a heavy jet – a Legacy 650, a Challenger 605 or a Falcon 900 – with the cabin full. We publish no fixed figure for this pair, because at this length the cabin decides the price more than the route does. Larnaca is our own base and the desk there answers at any hour: +357 95 119759.
Nearly five hours south-east, from the north of England to the eastern Mediterranean, and the reason to fly it rather than go via London is simply that it removes a connection from the day. Both ends are straightforward; the only formality worth planning is the border. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs, arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTEA long sector with two capable ends. Manchester operates around the clock with full business-aviation handling and is the gateway for Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Leeds and the roads to the Lakes – which is the reason for flying this pairing rather than routing through London. Larnaca is the island's main business-aviation gateway and our own base: best for Nicosia, the eastern half of Limassol, Ayia Napa and Protaras, with a desk that answers at any hour.
Two main fields and two rows that exist to prevent a misunderstanding: one about the north of England, one about the width of Cyprus.

| Manchester | MAN / EGCC | 3,469 km | Where the sector starts, and the reason for flying it rather than going via London: the gateway for Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Leeds and the roads to the Lakes. Around the clock with full business-aviation handling, so a departure hour that suits a five-hour flight is genuinely available. |
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | arrival | Where the sector ends, and our own base. The island's main business-aviation gateway: best for Nicosia, the eastern half of Limassol, Ayia Napa and Protaras. Because we are here rather than arranging it from elsewhere, an awkward arrival hour is a scheduling question rather than an operational one. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | arrival alternative | The right arrival if you are staying around Paphos or Polis and would rather not cross the island by road after a five-hour flight. Quieter, with thinner handling that we arrange in advance rather than assume. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | a different sector | Not an alternative to Manchester so much as a different departure city. If your business is in London or the south, we publish Larnaca to London as its own route rather than sending you north first. |

Three and a half thousand kilometres with a full cabin is heavy-jet work if you want it done without arithmetic. Smaller cabins will cross it, and we will say exactly what they cost you rather than let a lower number do the talking.
The default: a Legacy 650, a Challenger 605 or a Falcon 900. Non-stop with everybody and everything aboard, a proper galley, and room to work or sleep for the best part of five hours.
See the fleet ›Non-stop with a lighter load and a shorter passenger list, and a real saving when the party allows it. We name the limit before you choose rather than at the weigh-in.
See the fleet ›For a larger group, a night sector where sleeping matters, or when Cyprus is a staging point for the Gulf or the Levant rather than the destination.
See the fleet ›We publish no fixed figure for Manchester to Larnaca, and at this length that is the honest position: the cabin decides the price more than the route does, and the gap between a super-midsize and a long-range aircraft on the same sector is wide enough that one printed number would mislead most enquirers.
The rest of the arithmetic: where the aircraft was before it came to you and where it has to be next; whether a crew can operate there and back inside a duty day, which at nearly five hours each way usually means an overnight or a second crew; and handling at both ends. What helps on this pairing is that the arrival end is ours – an aircraft based at Larnaca can come north to collect you and return with you aboard, which is often a shorter shape than bringing one from elsewhere in Europe.
Empty legs are worth asking about, and on this corridor they tend to run northbound – our aircraft going out to collect. Being based at the far end, we see them early.
GET A FIRM PRICEJune to September carries most of this traffic, though Cyprus keeps a longer season than most Mediterranean destinations – which makes late September and October unusually good value on this route.
Book early when your hour is fixed and when the party holds a mix of nationalities: since Brexit this is a full border crossing, and the document side wants more notice than a European internal flight would. Children travelling on their own documents are the commonest source of delay in summer, and it is entirely avoidable.
Use the Manchester hours. Because the airport is open around the clock, a departure early enough to give you a useful afternoon in Cyprus is a real option rather than a negotiation.
Cyprus is within short reach of three regions, and once the aircraft is on the island the next sector is inexpensive by comparison with the one that brought it.
The return leg, and the half most parties book at the same time. Booking both together is usually cheaper than two separate one-way flights.
Larnaca to Manchester ›Forty minutes east, the shortest international sector we publish, and a common second stop when the week covers both sides of the eastern Mediterranean.
Larnaca to Beirut ›The long leg east, and the usual shape when Cyprus is a stop on the way to the Gulf rather than the destination.
Larnaca to Dubai ›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.
