TUS Airways is a Cypriot airline headquartered in Larnaca with its main hub at Larnaca International Airport. The airline was established in June 2015 and commenced flight operations on 14 February 2016.
History TUS Airways was founded in June 2015 by Israeli aviation executive Michael "Miki" Weinstein, backed by investors from Europe and the United States.Gold: Cyprus Carrier TUS Receives Air Transport Licence It was the first Cypriot airline to be founded following the dissolution of Cyprus Airways in January 2015. TUS Airways began operations on 14 February 2016 with a Saab 340B, flying from Larnaca to Tel Aviv and Haifa in Israel. In July 2016, the airline received its first Saab 2000 to increase capacity. In June 2017, the airline acquired its first jet aircraft, two Fokker 100s. It subsequently bought five Fokker 70s, bringing the total number of aircraft to seven.
In September 2019, media reported that TUS Airways would cease operations by the 30th. However, 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 to restructure and renew its fleet. For a while Ela Airways was suggested to be the new name but it did not happen. Weinstein returned to the helm in January 2021, relaunching the carrier under a hybrid business model centered on an all-Airbus A320 fleet. 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.
