Some aircraft are in leasing from ILFC and CIT.
On September 1, 2011, Cyprus Airways announced they would be returning both their A330 aircraft to the lessor in December 2011 and January 2012 consecutively to reduce losses. Cyprus Airways leased 2 A321 in the summer of 2012 from ILFC in a swap deal for the 2 A330's that they returned early. Cyprus Airways also sold 2 A319 in the summer of 2012.
