Flight to Paphos Diverted to Larnaca Due to Bad Weather

A Ryanair flight, FR3133 from London to Paphos, was forced to divert to Larnaca due to bad weather and strong winds in the Paphos airport area. The aircraft's captain made two unsuccessful landing attempts in Paphos before requesting and receiving approval to divert to Larnaca. Passengers, mainly fans returning from Paphos's Champions League match against Chelsea, reported severe turbulence and moments of fear. There were incidents of illness, vomiting, and panic attacks during the flight. The aircraft eventually landed safely in Larnaca, and passengers disembarked.
