As
Northern Cyprus
remains unrecognized by most
of the international community, there are no direct flights from
Europe
.
However, this is not really a problem as the charter companies briefly
touch down in
Turkey
before proceeding to Ercan, the airport located a few miles to the
east of Nicosia.
In addition, there are regular flights by Pegasus Airlines and
Turkish Airlines between Ercan and all the major airports in Turkey,
which are linked by the international carriers to most destinations in
Europe
.
There
are flights to Northern Cyprus
from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester.
Since
April 2004, it has become possible to fly into the South of Cyprus and
travel across the border into
Northern Cyprus.
