PFO Paphos

How deep the PFO board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from PFO. This reads the same 52 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 37of the 52 destinations are flown by one airline
• 40destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 69.2%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at PFO

20 airlines appear on the PFO board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 36 of the 52 destinations, 69.2 per cent of them, and on 27 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 27 of the 45.2 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Jet2 on 11 destinations. 13 of the 20 airlines at PFO appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 36 of the 52 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a PFO sector is usually another Ryanair aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at PFO than the destination count does.

How much of the PFO board is daily

Of the 52 destinations, 12 are flown at least once a day and 40 are not, 4 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the PFO board is flown 4 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: PFO to Milan (MXP) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 18.3 of the 45.2 departures a day, 40.6 per cent of the whole board. With 76.9 per cent of the 52 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of PFO where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 23 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from PFO

The desk holds the return direction for 42 of the 52 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 42 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through PFO is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 5.7 a day back into PFO against 2.4 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at PFO

PFO keeps Asia/Nicosia time, an hour behind Dubai in summer and two hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 08:00 at PFO, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at PFO and still make a departure the same day.

The night at PFO

8 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from PFO that lands inside it leaves around 21:10, on a modelled block of 4h 20m. Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from PFO that lands inside it leaves around 21:28, on a modelled block of 3h 02m. Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from PFO that lands inside it leaves around 21:08, on a modelled block of 4h 22m. Those three departure times out of PFO are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where PFO turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Cyprus country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 6 airport pair pages that start or end at PFO, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Paphos to Tel Aviv Yafo (TLV), Paphos to Birmingham (BHX) and Paphos to Bristol (BRS).

Four courier postings name PFO as the airport a courier here flies from: Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with PFO already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 52 destinations above.
