Cyprus Airways (CY, Larnaca) retired its only A319-100 on October 20, 2022, and unveiled a new livery on the two A320-200s that will form the backbone of its new strategy.

5B-DCX (msn 1091) operated its last revenue flight as CY427 from Thessaloniki to Larnaca before being ferried to St. Athan on October 21, 2022. The aircraft was owned by Cyprus Airways and had been operated by the airline since 2018, until 2021, alongside sistership 5B-DCW (msn 1129), which has also been scrapped.

Following the A319's phase-out, Cyprus Airways' fleet comprises two A320-200s with two more expected to deliver in early 2023. All will be painted in the airline's new livery, reflecting its strategic repositioning after an ownership change.
