Aegean Flight to Larnaca Returns to Athens Due to Air Exercise

An Aegean flight from Athens to Larnaca returned to Athens due to an air exercise taking place at Larnaca Airport. The pilot decided to return to Athens rather than wait for the exercise to conclude, with the flight expected to take place later in the day. Simultaneously, Greek media reported that two Greek F-16s took off from Paphos to intercept potential drones approaching Cypriot airspace.
