[edit] History

Cyprus Airways was established on 24 September 1947 as a joint venture between the Cypriot Government, BEA (British European Airways) and private interests[2]. Operations commenced on 18 April 1948 with Douglas DC-3 aircraft on regional routes from Nicosia International Airport. Under a charter agreement, Cyprus Airways began to use BEA Vickers Viscount airliners from 18 April 1953 over the Athens-Nicosia sector as a continuation of the BEA London-Rome-Athens service. BEA took over the operation of all Cyprus Airways services effective 26 January 1958 by special arrangement. is the 267th day of the year (268th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
