Cyprus Airways has rebooted its flagship East-Med business link, announcing the immediate resumption of daily services between Larnaca (LCA) and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion (TLV) airports starting 23 April. The carrier suspended the route on 2 April amid region-wide air-defence alerts triggered by the Iran conflict, costing hoteliers an estimated €1.8 million in cancellations. CEO Thanos Pascalis said the decision followed a multi-agency safety assessment and coordination with Israeli Civil Aviation and EASA. Flights depart Larnaca at 08:30 and return from Tel Aviv at 11:30, timed to connect with Cyprus Airways’ European network. A second evening frequency is under review for June subject to security conditions.

Whether you’re a corporate road-warrior or an expatriate visiting family, sorting out travel paperwork can be a headache; VisaHQ’s Cyprus page (https://www.visahq.com/cyprus/) simplifies the process by providing up-to-date visa requirements, application support, and courier services for both Cyprus- and Israel-bound travellers, ensuring you stay compliant as regional regulations shift.
The reopening is a boon for corporate travellers who rely on the 50-minute hop for same-day meetings in Israel’s tech corridor. Travel buyers should, however, factor in enhanced passenger screening on both ends, while mobility teams must continue monitoring NOTAMs as Middle-East airspace remains volatile. Tourism officials hope the restored route will stabilise occupancy rates in Nicosia and Limassol, which dipped 30 % during the suspension. Forward bookings for May are already up 12 % week-on-week, according to the Association of Cyprus Travel Agents. For expatriates, the connection also restores a critical medical-evacuation and family-visit lifeline between the two neighbours.
