Aviation: Northern Cyprus
(asked on 3rd February 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to assess the feasibility of initiating direct flights between the United Kingdom and Northern Cyprus.
This question was answered on 17th February 2025
Under the 1944 Chicago Convention, only the Republic of Cyprus may designate Ercan as an international airport and grant permission for flights. It has not done so. This means that no direct air services between the north of Cyprus and the UK can take place as it would be contrary to the UK’s obligations under the Chicago Convention.
