TUS Airways is anairline fromCyprus. It is headquartered inLarnaca and based inLarnaca International Airport. The airline was established in June 2015 and started flights from Larnaca on 14 February 2016.
TUS Airways was founded in June 2015 by Israeli aviation executive Michael Weinstein,[citation needed] backed by investors from Europe and the United States.[3][4] It was the first Cypriot airline to be founded after the dissolution ofCyprus Airways in 2015. TUS Airways began operations on 14 February 2016 with aSaab 340B operating from Larnaca toTel Aviv andHaifa in Israel. In July 2016, the airline received its firstSaab 2000 to increase capacity on its routes.[5] In June 2017, the airline acquired its first jet aircraft, twoFokker 100. It subsequently bought fiveFokker 70, bringing the total number of aircraft to seven.[citation needed]
In September 2019, media reports suggested that TUS Airways might cease operations, but Chief Executive Andrew Pyne—who had replaced founding CEO Michael Weinstein earlier that year—issued a statement clarifying that the airline was only pausing most scheduled flights while it restructured and re-fleeted.[6]Weinstein returned to the helm in January 2021, relaunching the carrier under a hybrid business model centred on an all-Airbus A320 fleet, which the airline continues to operate.[7][8] By 2023 TUS Airways had become the largest Cypriot airline by fleet size, with five A320-200 aircraft serving scheduled and charter routes from Larnaca and Paphos.[9]
As of June 2023, TUS Airways operates scheduled flights from Larnaca and Tel Aviv.[citation needed]
