About
Cyprus Turkish Airlines was established in 1974 as a joint Cypriot-Turkish venture. Cyprus Turkish Airlines is a smallish airline with a limited route map. It's particularly good for flying between Northern Cyprus and Turkey, though flights between the UK (five airports) and Germany (one airport) and Northern Cyprus (with a layover in Turkey) are also on offer.
Fares are only low-cost on occasion, though fare sales happen enough to warrant inclusion in our survey here.
