I'm going to fly with them soon (a 4-hours flight). Thank you for your report, I was stressed because I couldn't find anything about the "new" airline and then, here you are with your video :) I feel better now:)
Interesting video thank you !! Great you've got a good reliable local type airline !!! Been out to Cyprus every year since 1999 !! Only Covid stopped us last year !! Hope for this September !!! Best wishes from Plymouth UK !!
What are you expecting ? Ever when Israel wants to close it down from time to time they tend to blow holes in the runways . The terminal is an effective and modern facility dating from the 1990s
Cyprus airways is the last surviver of cyprus aviation The real cyprus airways closed a few years ago (my aunt worked there) Then cobalt opened employing everyone from cyprus airways (so my wunt worked there) and they closed Helios closed after a crash in the 2000s Only cyprus airways survived

Awesome! It’s such amazing news that they have returned, I remember flying on their A320’s from London to Larnaca in 2010, even better when I got 3 weeks extra stay at no cost due to the Iceland volcanic eruptions. Fortunate of flying their A330s back to London. Before their bankruptcy. Liked ;)
Wow You were lucky indeed. An extra stay of 3 weeks! I've never flown the 'old' Cyprus Airways. So I can't compare both airlines. But the 'new' Cyprus Airways operates as a low-cost airline. The fare includes 1 piece of hand luggage. You've got to pay for the window seat, any checked-in luggage as well as the snacks and drinks. But they provide a good service for a low-cost airline. Actually, the new Cyprus Airways has only bought the right to operate flights under this name. The airline is called Charlie Aviation and it is a subsidiary of S7 Airlines.
Dim Mih Yes, they did have A330’s (the old Cyprus Airways) also sorry for lack of viewing on your channel, I’m 3/4 into my integrated pilot training, so no time I’m afraid except A320 trainings now
Thank you for this video. I have a question. On my flight the cabin bag measures are mentioned 55х40х23 cm Does it include the wheels or it refers to the main body of the luggage. A slight difference in centimeters is crucial for me.
I think it doesn’t include the wheels. As long as you’ve got a small trolley, you should be fine. Small trolleys are pretty standard. They also offer to check in your luggage for free, if the flight is fully booked.
Yeah, that's why they fly to a handful of destinations :-) But service is good for a low-cost airline. At least, that is my experience based on this very short flight.
The old cyprus airways madeby cypriots was reallybig having a lot of planes their only plane now isthe sunjet that is still on the abonded nicosia airport
Well cyprus airways closed a few years ago the new one that you flown in had to be calld russian airways they just bought the name from the old airways
S7 bought the logo and has a stake of 40% the rest 60% is owned by Cypriot investors and talking about this most of the employees are ex Cyprus airways and eurocypria
It’s a subsidiary of Russian carrier S7 with a more regional identity flying the usual Athens shuttle ,Tel Aviv Beirut and Thressaloniki routes. The UK -Cyprus routes are dominated by the UK and Eire charter and low cost operators and until recently the now bankrupted competing Cypriot carrier Cobalt. There is no money to be made for small Cypriot carriers on the UK routes when it takes 9 hours there and back with no UK presence in the market.
Yes, the aircraft was an Airbus A319. As far as I know, Cyprus Airways still operates a fleet of just two A319s. And there are 144 seats on the A319. #CyprusAirways
Sorry about the type in the video intro. The flight # is CY121 and not CY122.
Nice video my friend 👍🏼

Hi Celine! Thanks for watching! I am glad that the video was helpful.
Great to see a flight report of the new Cyprus Airways, thanks for sharing! Thumbs up! :)
Hi! Thank you for watching and the feedback. Cyprus Airways has only a handful of destinations. So I had to go to Cyprus in order to fly them.
Interesting video thank you !! Great you've got a good reliable local type airline !!! Been out to Cyprus every year since 1999 !! Only Covid stopped us last year !! Hope for this September !!! Best wishes from Plymouth UK !!
Wow that's Beirut airport? It looks s modern compared to what I expected.
What are you expecting ?
Ever when Israel wants to close it down from time to time they tend to blow holes in the runways .

way to go i like your videos
Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a comment!
The flight looks quite average. I hope that Cyrus Airways will soon become a big airline in the region because they seem like doing great
Thanks for watching! Who knows ... their competitor Cobalt stopped operating. #CyprusAirways
Dim Mih Right. Btw, please check out some of trip reports on my channel, and really hope to see your opinions about them. Thanks 🙏
Sure, I will check out your channel.

No A330s in the fleet, just two A319s.

Good luck with the training!
They didn't return this time some Russians just bought the name
12:05 why did they re-extend the flaps?
Aren’t they do turkish announcements also?

Can we Cyprus to Portugal by aeroplane
there only two A319 on new Cyprus Airways 😄

Yes, you are right. The airline is owned by S7. They bought the right to use the name of the bankrupt Cyprus Airways.
@@aerotravelerNL thanks and i ma from cyprus so
S7 bought the logo and has a stake of 40% the rest 60% is owned by Cypriot investors and talking about this most of the employees are ex Cyprus airways and eurocypria
Why don't they fly to UK?
I guess, they don't have enough aircraft.

They do
Whats that sound at 3:39
Christian Zamroud it called the Barking Dog ;)
It's coming from the power transfer unit (PTU).
Yeah, common to the A320 family including the A319.
I wish Cyprus Turkish Airlines would reopen (please dont start sending hate comments like "illegally occupied land!!!!" etc)
Yo i went to cyprus couple months ago and i know greek
A319
Yes, the aircraft was an Airbus A319. As far as I know, Cyprus Airways still operates a fleet of just two A319s. And there are 144 seats on the A319. #CyprusAirways
