Vienna to Larnaca is 2,036 km and an estimated 2 h 59 in the air — under three hours, and shorter than either of the other two central European sectors this website publishes into Larnaca. A midsize cabin takes it comfortably rather than at full stretch, which is why the route is easier to arrange and cheaper to fly than either Milan or Munich. Indicative from €13 400 for the whole aircraft, one way. Send us the dates; a written quotation follows in half an hour, and +357 95 119759 is answered on the island at any hour.
Just under three hours from central Europe to the eastern Mediterranean. Tell us the party and the dates and we will say what is genuinely available on them.
REQUEST A QUOTEVienna sends us a mixed cabin. Part of it is institutional and conference travel out of a city built around international organisations; part is corporate and professional work gathered from further east in Europe, for which Vienna is the natural place to take off from; and part is family travel that simply happens to be pointed at Cyprus. The thing holding them together is the distance. Two thousand kilometres fits inside a midsize cabin with the load aboard, and that one fact changes the aeroplane, the price and how late you may leave the booking.
One straightforward departure with one interesting alternative in another country, and one arrival whose alternative is an hour further west by road. Neither choice is hard; both are worth naming before the aircraft is booked rather than after.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Larnaca | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vienna | VIE / LOWW | 2,036 km | The default departure and the point every figure here is measured from. 13,712 business-aviation movements in 2023, a general-aviation centre of its own, and ground handling that gives little trouble by the standards of the region. Private traffic has a terminal to itself; the runways, however, belong to the airline schedule as well, so we would rather agree your departure hour in advance than discover it on the morning |
| Bratislava | BTS / LZIB | 2,005 km | Thirty-one kilometres less in the air, and about sixty kilometres of road from the centre of Vienna — nearer than one or two Viennese suburbs. It lies in a different country, which costs the car a border and the aeroplane nothing, both states being inside Schengen. Its moment comes when Vienna is full on your date, or when the day starts somewhere east of the city |
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | arrival | Where the flight finishes and where this company lives. The island's principal business-aviation gateway and the sensible field for Nicosia, for Limassol and for the coast east of them. The desk is on the airfield and manned round the clock, which is why an arrival at an awkward hour is arranged rather than negotiated |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | 1,987 km | Forty-nine kilometres nearer to Vienna and an hour's drive further west. The field to take if the week is being spent on that side of the island. Ask early: the handling choice there is narrower and fewer aircraft are free on the day |

Two thousand kilometres is a distance a midsize aeroplane simply flies, rather than one it has to be persuaded into. That matters more than it sounds, because aeroplanes of this size are the commonest thing flying around this corner of Europe in any given week. On this pairing you are usually choosing something suitable instead of taking whatever is left.
Seven or eight seats, a cabin you can stand up in and 2.55 cubic metres of hold. The usual answer here, and the aeroplane behind the shared flight we publish over the same pair — for the plain reason that it is the right size for the leg.
See the Cessna Citation XLS+ ›Six to eight seats with a full galley and a separate lavatory, and 5,463 km of range. That range is more than Cyprus asks for, and exactly what you want when the island is one stop inside a longer eastern Mediterranean week.
See the Hawker 800XP ›Nine seats and the tallest cabin of the three, on a flat floor. Ask for it when the party is one group rather than a set of people who happen to be sharing an aeroplane.
See the Cessna Citation Latitude ›Every type here has a page of its own in the fleet section. Larger cabins will fly this too and are worth raising once you are ten or more, though under three hours they are seldom necessary.
People who have only come to Cyprus on a scheduled service expect the arrival to be the slow part of the day. On a private flight it is the quick part, and it is worth knowing what it consists of, because nearly all of it can be finished before the wheels touch.
Austria belongs to the Union and to Schengen; Cyprus belongs to the Union only. So a flight that stays inside the EU still meets a border officer at each end, in either direction. At the business-aviation terminal that officer is a few paces from the aircraft rather than at the head of a hall.
The whole passenger list with passport details, sent at the booking rather than produced at the steps. That single thing decides whether the formalities run to four minutes or to twenty.
It travels in the hold of your own aeroplane, so it appears beside you while the paperwork is being dealt with. Nothing is carried off to a belt and nothing is stood around waiting for.
The handling agent, the border desk and the car are lined up in advance by our own people on the field at Larnaca, not through a chain of intermediaries in another country. That is the practical difference between a home base and a correspondent.
From €13 400 one way for the whole aeroplane, rounded down. Read it as the bottom of the range rather than as an offer; the day, the cabin free on that day and the charges at either airport all pull the number about. Written confirmation against real dates follows within thirty minutes of your asking.
Nobody has published a whole-aircraft price for this city pair that we would reprint under our own name, so the figure above was built from published midsize hourly rates and the time on this page, rounded down. It comes to roughly half what the Milan and Munich sectors into Larnaca carry, and the reason is the size of the cabin rather than any discount: three hours in a midsize aeroplane is a cheaper thing to buy than three and a half in a super-midsize one.
The number we do publish ourselves for this pair is a seat, not an aeroplane, and it is the lowest figure anywhere on this site: 1,500 EUR on a Citation XLS+, quoted for the Larnaca to Vienna departure. What it buys is a single place on a departure thrown open to several parties at once: our machine, our timetable, strangers in the neighbouring seats. The aeroplane is not yours, the hour will not bend around your morning, and the whole thing exists only on days we have chosen to open. If you are one or two travellers with a little flexibility, ask whether a shared departure runs in this direction on your dates before asking what a charter costs.

Three things push the whole-aircraft figure around once real dates are attached. Where the aeroplane starts, which counts for less here than on our longer sectors because this class is plentiful in the region. The shape of the trip, since over three hours it is frequently cheaper to keep the aircraft for a day or two than to buy two separate one-way legs. And the month, in the ordinary Mediterranean fashion: high summer costs more than the shoulder.
Vienna keeps a working calendar of its own, which is why this pairing does not fall quiet in the months when our leisure routes do. The Mediterranean summer shows on it without defining it.
| Period | What happens on this direction | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| September to June, weekdays | The steady core: company, professional, institutional and family travel in something like equal measure, in small parties rather than large ones. It is also what makes shared flights possible on this pairing and on almost no other | One to two weeks for a charter. Travelling alone or as a pair, put the shared seat at the top of the question; nowhere else on our list is one so likely to be running |
| June to September | The Mediterranean season, and yours is the busy direction. Aeroplanes of this class stay the easiest to place even then, so the pressure appears on the ground at Larnaca rather than in the search for a cabin | Two to three weeks for a fixed date, and mention parking if the aircraft is staying on the island with you |
| May and October | The shoulder. Cheapest and simplest in both directions, with the island warm and the city comfortable, and a cabin of this size placeable within a few days | A week of notice is plenty. If the dates are movable at all, this is where to move them |
| The Christmas and New Year fortnight | Two weeks in which the family traffic goes out and then comes back, laid over the crowded winter the city keeps anyway | Commit sooner than feels necessary, and ask what the days flanking the obvious ones look like — they are markedly easier to fill |
