Cyprus Airway is a Cyprus-based start-up carrier that won a competition for the rights of the trademark of the former Cyprus Airways for ten years. The carrier is partly owned by the Russian S7 Airlines (40%) and operates a fleet of one Airbus A319 with 144 seats. After the bankruptcy of the former Cyprus Airways in January 2015 the start-ups Cyprus Airways and Cobalt Air try to fill the gap of the former flag carrier. Cobalt Air commenced operations in 2016 and operates a fleet of six Airbus A320 Family aircraft.
