Well not moving, it's been relocated.



Nothing I can see on their website yet.



CA flights use new airport from 10th Nov. All others from 17th Nov.



TRNC cars and taxis have their own area, OLD LARNACA AIRPORT. (Joke).

Yes, I heard sometime ago that it was going to be enlarged and moved. There was talk of other carriers being arrtacted to it. Ryanair was mentioned, but at the time they said they had no plans, but would keep their options open. It will be interesting to see what happens. I am a HUGE fan of Pegasus at the moment having baooked several return trips of up to 7 weeks and only paying about £80 return. It can't get much better than that.

Perhaps they are going to hand it back to the rightful owner!

I think it's only a new terminal. The runway will not move, so I doubt if it will be returned. Well as long as it's not returned before I have to return mine!

Hi, yes online.

Pegasus are a bit like Easyjet in that you have to book as soon as the flights are released to get the deals. They seem to go up on a daily basis. Pegasus email me when they release the offers, so put your name on their email list. I have just has a quick look and the cheapest oneway seats that I can see are £59.99 each, whereas they were £39.99 when first released, with no credit card fees. I am delighted as I can now travel at any time to get the cheapest prices, as I have just retired from teaching and no longer have to pay the premium rates for school holidays. Hope you find a bargain.

10th November open to Cyprus airways and Easyjet only.

17th November open to all other Airlines.



Hmmm!? I wonder why Easyjet can use it early?

No prize for guessing.

It's due to be opened by President Nicholas Sarkosy I believe, lets hope the ribbon is strung low enough for him to reach.
