History

Cyprus Airways resumed operations in 2016 after a start-up Cypriot company, Charlie Airlines Ltd., won the rights to use the trademark of Cyprus Airways. The airline's logo incorporates an olive branch, the main symbol of Cyprus.

In March 2017, the airline obtained its air operator certificate from the Cypriot Department of Civil Aviation, marking the start of commercial service for the airline.[5]

In 2019, 400,000 travellers were carried by Cyprus Airways.[6]

Fleet development

The airline began operations with two Airbus A319-100 aircraft, seating 144 economy passengers. These aircraft were stored between 2021 and 2022, and subsequently scrapped.[18]

Cyprus Airways undertook a significant fleet expansion by placing orders for four Airbus A320-200 aircraft. The first of these jets was inducted into service in May 2022, followed closely by the second in July 2022, and the third in March 2023.[citation needed]

The first two A220 aircraft arrived in June 2023.[citation needed]
