Middle East Conflict Disrupts Flights to and from Cyprus

Flights to and from the Cypriot airports of Larnaca and Paphos are being canceled and diverted due to military operations between the US and Iran. Approximately 250 passengers have been affected so far. Specifically, all flights to and from Israel from Larnaca have been canceled, as well as flights by Air Haifa and Ryanair from Paphos. A Wizz Air flight that had departed for Tel Aviv returned to Cyprus. In addition, two Wizz Air flights to Amman and Tel Aviv were diverted, with passengers disembarking in Larnaca. Airlines are advising passengers to contact them before traveling to the airports to inquire about potential changes to their schedules.
