There are three airlines which have scheduled flights to Northern Cyprus.
These airlines provide regular flights to Ercan (the North Cyprus Airport)
from UK, Turkey and Germany. For information about time tables, prices
and reservations, please contact KKTC, Onar Air and Turkish Airways.
For information on all flights in and out of Ercan Airport please contact
(0090 392) 231 4806.
There
are regular flights from the three London airports: Stansted, Gatwick
and Heathrow, plus flights from other major UK cities including Manchester,
Glasgow and Belfast. Most of them arrive in the evening or early morning
with more than 80 flights arriving at the North Cyprus airport of Ercan
every week during the summer season.
As there are currently no direct flights between Europe and the TRNC (Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus) all planes must first touch down in Turkey
before proceeding to the TRNC, stopping at either Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara,
Antalya and Adana.
The citizens of Turkey, United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Mexico, Malta, Japan,
Switzerland, Norway, Israel, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Australia and New Zealand
do not require a visa to enter Northern Cyprus. All other nationals should
check their status with regard to visas with the nearest Embassy or Office
of Representative for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Visitors who do not wish to have their passports stamped by the authorities
on arrival in North Cyprus may request a stamped visa form which is loosely
inserted into the passport and removed on departure.
Importing of pets
Pets can be brought into the North Cyprus from Europe with few problems.
The Ministry of Agriculture requires a certificate from a European vet
stating that your animal is free of major diseases.
Quarantine should be no longer than 4 weeks but will depend on the species
and country of origin of the animal. All quarantine costs must be met
and are the responsibility of the owner.
Please contact the Northern Cyprus Ministry of Agriculture for more information
on bringing animals to the TRNC and for preliminary permission.
