History

Tus Airways Fokker 100

Tus Airways was founded in June 2015 by former Cyprus Airways pilot Efthymios Liastos and is backed by investors from Europe and the United States.[5][6] It was the first Cypriot airline to be founded after the dissolution of Cyprus Airways in 2015. Tus Airways began operations on 14 February 2016 with a Saab 340B operating from Larnaca to Tel Aviv and Haifa in Israel. In July 2016, the airline received its first Saab 2000 to increase capacity on its routes.[7]

In June 2017, the airline added its first jet aircraft, two Fokker 100s, to its fleet. It intends to use these aircraft to expand services from Cyprus to around the Mediterranean.

on 6 July 2018, the airline launched its frequent flyer program Tus & Plus[8]
