CYP - Cyprus Airways (Old defunct Airline)

[Hirohitoswaifu]

Airline Name
Cyprus Airways

IATA: CY / ICAO: CYP / Callsign: CYPRUS

Country of Origin
Cyprus

Aircraft Types Used (from those available in WoA)
A319 (A319-100) (4 operated),

Lifting off from MAN,

A320 (A320-200) (14 operated),

At LHR,

A321 (A321-200) (2 operated),

Both landing at LHR,

A332 (A330-200) (2 operated),

Why should this airline be added?
An historically important airline in the European/Middle Eastern region operating since 1947 from Nicosia Airport till it moved to Larnaca due to a sudden outbreak of tanks. The modern Cyprus Airways is a direct descendant of this one and uses the same ICAO code so they could be merged. This airline had the long haul ability so would be a new airline to see at airports around the world, plus the A321 for greater short haul capacity. It failed in 2015 leading it to be declared bankrupt and the assets moved across to Charlie Airlines which was rebranded to modern Cyprus Airways. Would be a fun bonus livery for players to operate and give Cyprus its own long haul capabilities.

Where did they send the 330? Was it to places like JFK or just high demand routes in Europe

[Hirohitoswaifu]

High demand routes in Europe and the middle east, mainly to Heathrow as with their codeshare agreement with VA, you could easily transfer onwards to North America.

Brilliant thanks, Would be nice to see these 2 A320s as well as retro liveries for the airline if added (Probably best merged with the current in-game one since its bought the assets of this one).

A320 1990s livery,

Both photos at ZRH,

And the 1980s livery which a few wore for a short time in the very late 1980s,

They’d make for some great event liveries as they’re both absolutely stunning.
