Ryanair Flight Diverted to Larnaca Due to Bad Weather

A Ryanair flight from London to Paphos was forced to divert to Larnaca airport due to strong winds in Paphos. Many of the passengers were Paphos football fans returning from their team's match against Chelsea, and experienced turbulence during the flight. The FR3133 flight departed normally from Stansted, but due to the adverse weather conditions in Paphos, landing was deemed dangerous. The airline, in consultation with airport authorities, decided to divert to Larnaca for safety reasons. Despite the anxiety caused by the turbulence, the flight landed safely at Larnaca airport. The passengers were then transported to Paphos by bus, following arrangements made by Ryanair. The decision to divert the flight was a result of the severe weather conditions prevailing in the Paphos district, with strong winds, rain, and thunderstorms.
