Buy Ela Air Cyprus Flights with Alternative Airlines

Ela Air Cyprus is a Cypriot airline that flies passenger flights. The airline is set to launch in 2021 as a re-launch of Tus Airways — Tus suspended its scheduled flights in 2019 and has been flying only charter flights since. Upon re-launch, the airline will begin flying scheduled passenger flights again.

The airline will launch as an ultra-low-cost airline, flying regional flights from Larnaca. Ela Air plans to fly to destinations in Israel and Greece and will most likely pick-up many of the destinations that it previously flew before its rebrand, focussing on leisure and business routes. The airline will be based at Larnaca International Airport.

The rebrand and launch of Ela Air was announced in 2020, a year after Tus Air stopped flying its scheduled flights. Tus' exit from the scheduled passenger flight market caused renewed demand for flights connecting Cyprus to destinations in the eastern Mediterranean. Because Tus cancelled scheduled flights before the coronavirus reached Europe in 2020, the airline didn't feel the financial impact of the pandemic in the same way that it would have if it were operating flights as normal. As a result, the airline is in a good position to rebrand and relaunch in 2021 and fly routes that have been underserved since it stopped flying.

Baggage Policy

Below is the free baggage allowance for Ela Air. These allowances are included within the price of the airline ticket. Passengers that need more than the baggage that is included within the free allowance can purchase excess baggage.

Carry-on Baggage

Passengers are given a free carry-on baggage allowance of 8 kg. This baggage must not exceed the overall dimensions of 55 cm (21.6") x 35 cm (13.7") x 22 cm (8.6").

Checked Baggage

Passengers must check-in at the airport for their flight. Airport check-in can be completed at the airport of departure, with airline staff assisting passengers through the check-in process. Passengers must bring all relevant travel documents with them to check-in for their flight (i.e e-ticket and photo ID).

Cabin Classes

Ela Air flies with an Economy Class cabin only. The airline has a friendly cabin crew that is available to assist passengers with whatever they need throughout the entire flight.

Facilities

As a low-cost airline, facilities on board are limited. The airline focuses on taking passengers from one destination to the next safely and comfortably but with little added extras.

Seats

Seats are set out in a 2 x 2 formation on all Ela Air Cyprus flights.

In-flight Entertainment & WIFI

The airline doesn't offer in-flight entertainment or WIFI on any of its flights.

Food & Drink

The airline serves non-complimentary food and drinks during the flight, which are available to purchase for a fee. On shorter flights, passengers can purchase a range of snacks and beverages. On longer flights, passengers can purchase more substantial meals.

Frequent Flyer Programme

It's unknown at this time whether Ela Air will offer a frequent flyer program. Before it's re-launch, it did have a frequent flyer program, so it's likely that it will launch a re-branded frequent flyer program when it relaunches.
