Cyprus Airways restarted non-stop flights between Dubai (DXB) and Larnaca (LCA) on 11 March, restoring a strategic Gulf connection suspended during last week’s Middle-East airspace turmoil. The carrier will operate daily until 30 May before shifting to a four-times-weekly summer schedule.

For travellers needing clarity on entry documents, VisaHQ streamlines Cyprus visa applications and provides real-time guidance on UAE and other nationality requirements—ideal for executives booking the newly resumed route. Full details are available at https://www.visahq.com/cyprus/
The reopening is significant for corporate mobility: Dubai hosts regional HQs for over 200 Cypriot-linked companies and serves as a transit hub for Asia-bound executives. The resumption also supports inbound investment missions from the UAE, which doubled in 2025 after Cyprus and the Emirates signed a double-tax treaty. Safety assessments were conducted jointly with UAE and Cypriot regulators following the 1 March drone strike near RAF Akrotiri that forced widespread route diversions. Cyprus Airways says it will continue to review flight paths daily and maintain contingency fuel loads to accommodate unexpected reroutings. During the suspension the airline operated two repatriation charters, under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, to bring 370 stranded passengers home. Travel managers should update booking tools to reflect the restored service and note the carrier’s revised baggage allowances, aligned with Gulf competitor standards to court premium traffic.
