In April 2008, the airline signed a business contract with a travel agency in Germany called 'Oger Turk Tur'. The point of this contract was to be able to bring more tourists to Northern Cyprus (T.R.N.C.) since Germany is one of the top countries that generates a high level of outbound tourist traffic. According to this contract, Cyprus Turkish Airlines were to fly to 8 new destinations in Germany, with one specially leased aircraft operating up to 14 flights a week. KTHY confirmed that they were also to fly to Cologne/Bonn and Stuttgart (Germany), not forming part of the 8 new charter destinations).
Cyprus Turkish Airlines served the following scheduled destinations (at September 2009):
Asia
Europe
Note: All flights to Germany were via Antalya Airport, flights to the United Kingdom were via a variety of airports in Turkey.
