17 flights cancelled at Larnaca and Paphos as regional disruption continues

Several flights were cancelled on Saturday at both Larnaca and Paphos airports as disruptions to regional air travel continued to affect routes linked mainly to the Middle East.

Airport scheduling information showed multiple arrivals and departures suspended, particularly on services connecting Cyprus with Israel, Lebanon, Bahrain and the Emirates.

At Larnaca airport, cancelled arrivals included Gulf Air from Bahrain, Cyprus Airways from Beirut, and several Israeli connections including flights from Tel Aviv operated by Israir and services from Haifa operated by Air Haifa.

A Wizz Air flight from Abu Dhabi was also cancelled, along with a scheduled arrival from London Heathrow.

Departures from Larnaca were largely affected on the same routes, with flights to Bahrain, Beirut, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Abu Dhabi cancelled.

The only service on those routes to operate as scheduled was a British Airways flight to London Heathrow.

At Paphos airport, cancellations were limited to the Haifa connection, while other routes continued operating normally.

Flights to and from London Gatwick with EasyJet and services operated by Ryanair were running according to schedule.

Passengers scheduled to travel have been advised to check directly with their airline or travel agent for the latest information as flight schedules may continue to change.
