New scheduled flights to UK by Air2000

AIR2000 yesterday announced it will start scheduled flights from Larnaca to Newcastle in the UK from November 3.

For the winter season, services will operate weekly from Larnaca to Newcastle via Manchester throughout November, from December 22 to January 5, and also for the month of April.

As of May 2000, the flights will be increased to weekly non-stop flights from both Larnaca and Paphos for the summer season.

During the winter season an Airbus A320 will depart Newcastle at 08.20, arriving in Larnaca at 16.50 local time. The return service will depart Larnaca at 17.50 local time and arrive in Newcastle at 22.45.

Best known as First Choice’s in-house charter airline, Air2000 has more scheduled routes from Cyprus to the UK than any other airline.

According to the airline, a range of prices will be available for adults, children, students, military personnel and senior citizens. Adult return prices start from £276 excluding taxes.

“We know Cyprus is a popular destination not only with holidaymakers but also with property owners and those with relatives in the military services based there,” said Air2000’s managing director, Ken Smith.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
