Super-midsize planning profile. Block time adds an indicative taxi allowance across both ends and is not a scheduled time. Indicative flying charge only, calculated from estimated airborne time and a representative rate for the aircraft category. Positioning, airport charges, handling, passenger taxes, catering, de-icing, crew expenses and minimum-sector charges are additional. Final pricing depends on aircraft availability and operator quotation.
Why this airport
The quickest way into Paphos, Coral Bay and the Akamas peninsula, with Limassol within reach by road. The same mild winter climate as Larnaca with a shorter transfer for the west of the island.
Slots, parking and operational restrictions
Paphos is an international airport with business aviation handling, smaller and quieter than Larnaca. As with Larnaca, Cyprus is in the EU but outside Schengen, so passport control applies on arrival. The four-hour sector rules out light jets with a full cabin.
Alternative airports
Larnaca is the island's main airport and serves the east, Ayia Napa and Nicosia. Limassol is roughly between the two airports.
Passengers and baggage
Sector length rather than bag volume is the constraint. Give the passenger and bag count early so the aircraft is sized correctly.
Onward transfer
Paphos town is a short drive from the airport; Coral Bay and the Akamas coast a little further. Limassol is reachable by road from either airport.
Road journey times vary with traffic, weather and season. We do not publish transfer times as promises.

Indicative cruise altitude only — actual altitude depends on routing, weather, aircraft weight and air traffic control. Range is a planning figure, not a guarantee: payload, reserves, weather and airport restrictions all reduce usable range. Individual aircraft configurations vary and no particular airframe is guaranteed.
The pilot’s view
Pick the Cyprus airport by where you are staying, not by habit. If the villa is in the west, Paphos saves the drive across the island at the end of a four-hour flight, which after a long day is worth more than it sounds.
