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.

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.

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.
