Low-cost carrier Wizz Air has announced an expanded winter schedule from Larnaca, including a new route to Madrid and increased flight frequencies to destinations in Greece and across Europe.
The airline said it will operate up to two daily flights between Larnaca and Athens, with 11 weekly services starting in September 2026, rising to 14 per week from October.
Fares for the Athens route will start from €29.99 one way, including all mandatory charges and a small cabin bag.
The company said the return of the Athens service reflects strong passenger demand and underlines its continued investment in core regional connections.
New Madrid connection
Following the recent launch of flights to Barcelona, Wizz Air will introduce a new route to Madrid from September, operating three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Fares for the Madrid service will start from €55.99 one way.
Increased frequencies across network
The airline also announced additional flights to Barcelona, Thessaloniki and Yerevan, highlighting its strategy to strengthen Larnaca’s role as a key base within its network.
András Szabó, Network Officer at Wizz Air, said the new routes and increased frequencies confirm the airline’s ongoing growth and commitment to offering an expanding range of affordable travel options.
Maria Kouroupi, Director of Aviation Development, Marketing and Communications at Hermes Airports, said the developments reflect strong cooperation between the airport operator and Wizz Air, based on mutual trust and a shared goal of improving Cyprus’ connectivity and resilience.
Deputy Minister of Tourism Kostas Koumis said enhanced connectivity is not merely a numerical milestone but a strategic message, opening new pathways for tourism, trade and cultural exchange, and bringing Cyprus closer to major European capitals.
