🇨🇾 Flight schools in Cyprus
Cyprus has three EASA-approved PPL schools, all teaching in English, spread across the island's two international airports. Flying weather is reliable for most of the year, but both training bases are inside controlled airspace at commercial airports, which shapes how lessons are scheduled and what you pay in airport-related fees.
