<p>The Government recognises the inconvenience caused to passengers, including British
citizens, by the situation regarding air travel between the north of Cyprus and the
UK. Under the Chicago Convention, only the Republic of Cyprus may designate Ercan
(in the north of Cyprus) as an international customs airport and grant permission
for flights to operate from within its territory. The Republic of Cyprus has not designated
Ercan.</p><p> </p><p>This means that no direct air services between the north of Cyprus
and the UK can take place. Ultimately, a just and lasting settlement on the island
is the best chance of resolving these complex issues. The UK’s commitment to helping
all parties to achieve this remains unwavering.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>
