Nicosie : introduction
Nicosia is located in the center of theisland of Cyprus, in the eastern Mediterranean. Nicosia is unique in that it is divided into two parts: the southern part is the capital of the Republic of Cyprus (internationally recognized), while the northern part is controlled by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, an entity recognized only by Turkey. Nicosia International Airport, once Cyprus’ main airport, played an essential role in connecting the island with international destinations. Located just a few kilometers from the capital, Nicosia, the airport was crucial for regional and international travel. Before its closure in 1974, it was a dynamic hub for trade, tourism and business. Although the airport is no longer operational, it remains an important symbol in the history of Cypriot aviation.

Nicosia International Airport: a little history
Nicosia International Airport was inaugurated in 1939, originally as a military base, but soon evolved to serve commercial traffic. It expanded rapidly after the Second World War, becoming an important hub for Cyprus and international flights linking Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
During the British colonial period and after Cyprus’ independence, the airport became a nerve center for air transport on the island. However, its strategic role during conflicts, notably the Cypriot civil war and the Turkish invasion in 1974, led to its definitive closure.
The airport’s infrastructure, including runways and terminals, is now located in the UN-controlled buffer zone. Since its closure, the airport has remained dormant, frozen in time but symbolic of the island’s historical divisions.
Today, travellers to Cyprus pass through the international airports of Larnaca and Paphos, which have taken over to support the island’s tourism and trade. Despite this, Nicosia International Airport remains a key part of Cyprus’ patrimoine and an important chapter in its aviation history.
How do I get to Nicosia by private jet?
Getting to Nicosia, once Cyprus’ main airport, is now only accessible for historical reasons, as Nicosia International Airport has been closed since 1974. However, business travellers to Cyprus can use the international airports of Larnaca or Paphos, which have replaced Nicosia as transport hubs for the island.
For business travellers, these airports offer modern infrastructures and top-of-the-range services. In particular, FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators) are available to guarantee exclusive services, such as VIP lounges, tailor-made catering, transfers and concierge services. From these airports, passengers can quickly access the various regions of Cyprus thanks to chauffeur-driven car transfer services, ensuring optimum comfort.
In addition, AEROAFFAIRES offers personalized transfer services with luxury vehicles such as the Mercedes S-Class, the VIANO or limousines, to facilitate your travel to and from Cypriot airports.
