Cyprus increases in popularity every year with many visitors, holiday makers and also people looking to relocate permanently to a sunnier and safer climate. This is made easier with the advent of the increasing number of charter flights to and from Cyprus which are becoming cheaper each year due to the competition between airlines.
Summer timetables are usually run from May through to October and winter as November through to April, sometimes there is overlap by a week or two. There are also special timetables that run for short periods, over Christmas and New Year or an early Easter. Charter flights to and from Cyprus are run mainly to provide transport for package holidays, excess seats are then sold off on a flight only basis. The cost of these seats is usually less expensive when compared to scheduled flights. The airlines can offer these charter flights to and from Cyprus by offering more restricted services than the major scheduled or low cost airlines.
