The Cyprus Police Aviation Unit (C.P.A.U) (Greek: Μονάδα Αεροπορικών Επιχειρήσεων (Μ.Α.ΕΠ.), Turkish: Kıbrıs Polisi Havacılık Birimi) is the Police aviation Unit of the Headquarters of Cyprus Police, the national police of the Republic of Cyprus and was established on 10 June 2008, having previously operated as the Cyprus Police Air Wing (from 1990 to 9.6.2008).
The mission of the CPAU is as follows:
In November 2012 the Britten-Norman Islander was sold for 75,000 euros along with its spare parts for another 75,000 euros although a Police report was suggesting that the plane should be repaired for 250,000 euros.
In December 2013 the Minister of Justice and Public Order, Mr. Ionas Nicolaou, ordered an investigation on the sale of the Britten-Norman Islander, after it was discovered that although the plane was deemed unsuitable to fly for more than 40 hours, it actually flew from Cyprus to Finland, where the buyer was located, and was now on sale for 750,000 euros by the new owner after it was repaired.
In 2015 the two Bell helicopters were send to be repainted to the new blue and white color scheme to replace the older yellow, light blue and white color scheme that they were painted. This new blue and white color scheme is the same that the Augusta Westland helicopters were painted when they were first received.
