TUS Airways is an airline from Cyprus. It is headquartered in Larnaca and based in Larnaca International Airport. The airline was established in June 2015 and started flights from Larnaca on 14 February 2016.

History

[edit]

TUS Airways was founded in June 2015 and is backed by investors from Europe and the United States.[3][4] It was the first Cypriot airline to be founded after the dissolution of Cyprus Airways in 2015. TUS Airways began operations on 14 February 2016 with a Saab 340B operating from Larnaca to Tel Aviv and Haifa in Israel. In July 2016, the airline received its first Saab 2000 to increase capacity on its routes.[5] In June 2017, the airline acquired its first jet aircraft, two Fokker 100. It subsequently bought five Fokker 70, bringing the total number of aircraft to seven.[citation needed]

In September 2019, there were reports stating the airline was going to close but the management team at the time dismissed these reports.[citation needed] In 2021, the airline confirmed that the name TUS Airways will remain and that the airline will resume operations in summer of 2021 under a new business model, a new management team and a new fleet centred around the Airbus A320 aircraft.[citation needed] By 2023, TUS Airways was the largest Cypriot airline by fleet size, operating five aircraft with scheduled and charter operations from both Larnaca & Paphos.[citation needed]
