Cyprus has two international airports in the government-controlled areas, the busier one being in [[Larnaca International Airport|Larnaca]] and the other in [[Paphos International Airport|Paphos]].<ref>{{cite book |title=The Stateman's Yearbook |date=2020 |publisher=Routledge |page=386 |chapter=Cyprus}}</ref> The [[Ercan International Airport]] is the only active one in the non-government-controlled areas, but all international flights there must have a stopover in Turkey.<ref>{{cite web |title='Direct' flights to the north will go via Turkey |url=https://cyprus-mail.com/2022/09/23/direct-flights-to-the-north-will-go-via-turkey/ |publisher=Cyprus Mail |access-date=23 January 2023 |date=23 September 2022 |archive-date=23 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230123001834/https://cyprus-mail.com/2022/09/23/direct-flights-to-the-north-will-go-via-turkey/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The main [[harbour]]s of the island are [[Limassol Port|Limassol]] and [[Larnaca]], which serve cargo, passenger and [[cruise ship]]s.

[[CYTA|Cyta]], the [[Public ownership|state-owned]] telecommunications company, manages most telecommunications and Internet connections on the island. However, following deregulation of the sector, a few private telecommunications companies emerged, including [[Monaco Telecom|epic]], [[Cablenet]], [[OTEnet Telecom]], [[Omega Telecom]] and [[PrimeTel]].
