Cyprus Aviation History Cyprus Aviation History Part 1 Introduction by Margaret Sheard….. Having visited the now abandoned Nicosia International Airport on a couple of occasions when making an annual visit to Wayne’s Keep with British ex-servicemen, I have written about the Trident aircraft 5B- DAB which still sits at the airport albeit in a very forlorn and sad condition.To see this article click here In the article below there is a photograph of 5B-DAB when it was in commercial use and looking so smart. As a result of this article we were contacted by Captain Emre Unel, an airline pilot and very much an aircraft enthusiast, and he has kindly sent us some of his memories of a once busy and thriving airport and some of the aircraft which visited there pre-1974, together with other interesting information about the old airport and other aircraft of days gone by. Cyprus Aviation History By Emre Unel….. Trident As a teenager I practically grew up at Nicosia Airport which, with all its magic, was fundamental in shaping my career as an airline pilot. This is a photo of Trident 5B-DAB which I took from the viewing terrace at Nicosia Airport in March 1973. I have many fond memories of the elegant terminal where we spent so much time. Over the years I have collected and written down lot of information and memories about NIC. I have also been able to assist a media company in producing a documentary about Nicosia Airport. This film has been quite successful and was even shown in the European Parliament. Amongst others I have also had the privilege to meet and become good friends with the Captain of the last commercial flight to land at Nicosia Airport on the morning of July 20th1974. My first article was published in 2007 and this can be seen by clicking here On the morning of July 20th 1974 at the start of the Turkish intervention four Cyprus Airways Hawker Siddeley Tridents were parked at Nicosia Airport. Their registrations were:5B-DAB : 5B-DAC : 5B-DAD : 5B-DAE Trident 5B-DAE was destroyed during an attack by the Turkish Air Force. 5B-DAC and 5B-DAD were damaged. 5B-DAE All aircraft were stranded at Nicosia Airport which had been closed. British Airways had decided that it was feasible to repair two of the Tridents and to return them to service with BA to England. Tridents “Alpha Charlie” and “Alpha Delta” were repaired and maintained by a special engineering team using spare parts from the remaining Trident “Alpha Bravo”. However it was not until 1978 that BA was allowed to fly the aircraft out of Nicosia. The last take offs from the airport ever since. What was left of 5B-DAB was parked at the maintenance area where it still is today. AC and AD joined the BA fleet, were re registered (UK) and flew on for many years. Visiting the old Avro Shackleton Bomber at Nicosia Airport July 2015 This old Royal Air Force “Avro Shackleton” bomber has been lying in a field at Nicosia International Airport for more than 50 years. The “Shackleton” was a slightly modernized version of the famous WW2 British “Lancaster” bomber and used for maritime patrol duties during the cold war. After being decommissioned in the 1950s the bomber was towed to an area near Runway 09 where it remains until today. During a recent visit to Nicosia Airport I had the chance to take a few photographs. © Emre Larnaca Aerodrome 1945 “MISR AIRLINES” FLYING TO AND FROM LARNACA Tuesdays: Cairo-Lydda, Palestine (today Tel Aviv, Israel) Beirut-Larnaca- Beirut Wednesdays: Beirut-Larnaca-Lydda-Cairo. My grandfather used to be a H.M. Customs Inspector at Larnaca Aerodrome at that time. Cyprus Airways ON 9THJANUARY 2015 CYPRUS AIRWAYS SHUT DOWN….. The day after….. by Emre Unel….. Cyprus Airways had to shut down yesterday after 68 Years of operations due to financial problems. A sad loss of a traditional airline. I drove down to Larnaca today (10th January 2015) to have a look at the situation there and shot a few photos. As always when these things happen, the atmosphere at Larnaca Airport was very subdued. I took some photographs showing the CY check in area in the terminal and also from the perimeter road towards Mc Kenzie Beach and the fence in the cargo area. Also photos showing the Cyprus Airways Airbus Fleet parked on the old ramp at Larnaca Airport on the afternoon of January 10th 2015 © Emre This was most certainly a sad time for Emre who, as an airline pilot, must have felt huge pangs of regret for the end of yet another era in Cyprus Aviation history. There are many people who have a love of “planes”, and I am among them, and we hope that this bit of nostalgia will appeal to those who love the roar of the engine and the sight of an aircraft streaking across the sky. I think my love of aircraft stems from when I was young and my elder brother would take me to air shows, he was also an aircraft enthusiast and took many photographs which sadly I no longer have. The love of my life was the Vulcan Bomber which always took my breath away and again is at the end of an era having made its last ever flight recently in the UK..

Our company transports, in conjunction with its subsidiary chartered flights company, EUROCYPRIA, almost ¹/³ of the people traveling between Cyprus and abroad. These numbers… they also reveal the importance of the company to the economy of the island. O-Ton: Acting Director, CIVIL AVIATION Following our accession to the EU, on 1st May 2004, a full liberalization of flights in Cyprus, with EU countries, came about. O-Ton: Cyprus Airways spokesman …Almost 150 airlines fly to Cyprus from Europe, mainly, as well as from other countries. As you know, not only in Cyprus and in Europe, but the world over, just a few short decades ago, air transport was being carried out on a wholly different basis. That is to say, which companies would fly was an issue decided by the states amongst themselves. How much they would charge, what the charges would be, was also an issue decided amongst the states through IATA. O-Ton: Acting Director, CIVIL AVIATION The liberalization of flights gives the right to any air carrier, under certain conditions, to carry out itineraries within the EU. O-Ton: HELIOS Airways, Commercial Manager Our company started to fly in 2001 and entered the chartered flight market in 2002 with flights to London.

  • Gateway to the World | Eldad Brin in Its Tourism and Pilgrimage Industry and Leaving a Decisive Mark on Its Cityscape
    Gateway to the Abstract Jerusalem Airport played a vital World role in the economic and social life of Jordanian-controlled Jerusalem The Golden Age of (1948–1967), despite its basic infrastructure and its situation Jerusalem Airport, of operating under political and 1948–67 technical constraints, and subject to disruptive domestic and regional Eldad Brin unrest. The unique draw of Jerusalem for Christian and Muslim pilgrims as well as the city’s ideal geographical location vis-à-vis the region as a whole established the small airport as the prime gateway to the city and to Jordan. It became a vital connection for middle-class and upper middle- class West Bank Palestinian residents to the outside world for the sake of work, study, and leisure. As such, it served as a critical link between Arab Jerusalem and the Arab world. Key words Jerusalem; Jordan; commercial aviation; pilgrimage; tourism. Jerusalem Airport (known also as Qalandiya Airport or Atarot Airport), located between Jerusalem and Ramallah, near the village of Qalandiya and Qalandiya refugee camp, operated for about seventy-five years under three successive political jurisdictions (British, 1925–48; Jordanian, 1948–67; Israeli, 1967–2001). Under Jordanian rule, it was a major port of entry for pilgrims, tourists, and distinguished visitors to Jerusalem and to Jordan itself. It is tempting to draw a parallel between the Jordanian upgrading of what had been, almost exclusively, a British military Jerusalem Quarterly 85 [ 61 ] airstrip into a small but busy international airport,1 and the Ottoman inauguration of the rail link from Jaffa to Jerusalem in late 1892.

  • Fly America Act and Open Skies Agreements Guidance
    Fly America Act and Open Skies Agreements Guidance A person traveling on funds provided by the federal government must use a U.S. flag carrier (an airline owned by an American company), regardless of cost or convenience. When scheduling international travel that is federally funded, you must ensure that all flights, where possible, are scheduled on U.S. flag carriers or on foreign air carriers that code share with a U.S. flag carrier. Code sharing: when two or more airlines “code” the same flight as if it was their own. A U.S. airline may sell a seat on the plane of a foreign air carrier; this seat is considered the same as one on a plane operated by a U.S. flag carrier. Compliance with the Fly America Act is satisfied when the U.S. flag air carrier's designator code is present in the area next to the flight numbers on the airline ticket, boarding pass, or on the documentation for an electronic ticket (passenger receipt) – see example below, where Delta Airlines (DL) has a code share agreement with Air France (AF) to Paris, France. COMPLIANT NOT COMPLIANT US Flag Air Carriers - U.S. flag carriers and their codes are below to assist you. In order for a flight to be in compliance with the Fly America Act, the code of a U.S. flag air carrier must be noted as part of the flight number on the airline ticket, flight coupon (boarding pass*), or passenger receipt. Each airline has a two letter alpha code. From this list, you will be able to compare airline codes on the ticket with those on the list and thereby be able to ascertain whether or not the flight is on a US Flag air carrier.
