Border Crossings in Cyprus

Since 2003, the north and south of Cyprus have been accessible to each other via several checkpoints along the Green Line, all of which were opened as part of efforts aimed at reuniting the two Cypriot communities.

Today Europeans and Cypriots are able to use several border crossings in Cyprus, whether it’s to shop, trade or work. Currently there are 6 checkpoints open to pedestrians and/or traffic and below we will detail these for you. It’s worth noting that another checkpoint in Yeşilirmak on the far north-western tip of Cyprus could be set to open shortly and we will keep you up to date on that! Read more

Direct Flights to North Cyprus To Be A Reality?

UPDATE ; 31/7/09 - Sadly the UK government has decided to dismiss a request to review the ongoing restrictions on direct flights to North Cyprus from the UK.  It will be challenged of course, but it does not look likely to succeed.  The reasons for the dismissal are based upon the fact that Nicosia Air Traffic Control in the south is the body responsible for all air traffic over Cyprus, according to the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation).  Allowing Ercan airport to be recognised internationally would also be contrary to the Chicago Convention of 1944, but what exactly it is contrary to is unclear.  So, thats the state of play presently, which is more than unfortunate for the Turkish Cypriot community and economy after so much resassurance from the EU after voting ‘Yes’ in favour of the UN backed Annan Plan.
