Flight cancellations at Cyprus airports amid Middle East tensions

Cyprus airports, particularly Larnaca International Airport, have faced significant flight disruptions due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Data indicates varying numbers of cancellations throughout the week, including 29 flights on Saturday, 39 on Sunday, 45 on Thursday, and 39 on Friday. The cancellations affected a diverse range of routes, including destinations in Israel, Lebanon, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and several European cities such as London, Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt, and Vienna. While Larnaca experienced persistent instability, operations at Paphos International Airport were generally less affected, returning to full capacity by Friday. Some airlines, such as Emirates, briefly suspended and then resumed specific routes, while others adjusted schedules based on evolving airspace conditions. Airport authorities urge all passengers to check their flight status directly with airlines or travel agents. Officials note that flight statuses are subject to change depending on regional developments.
