Over 30 Cyprus flights cancelled as Middle East war rolls on

A total of 36 commercial flights in and out of Cyprus were cancelled on Wednesday, with the war in the Middle East continuing to disrupt regional airspace.

All but four of those cancellations concerned flights in and out of the island’s primary airport, Larnaca, and mostly concern flights to and from the Middle East.

Multiple flights connecting Larnaca with Israeli cities Tel Aviv and Haifa, as well as services to Doha and Beirut were cancelled, though Middle East Airlines’ services to and from Beirut remain operational.

British Airways’ evening flight from Larnaca to London Heathrow will not depart, with the airline having only restored one of its two daily services on that route following a wave of cancellations upon the outbreak of the war at the beginning of the month.

Flights between Paphos and both Tel Aviv and Haifa are also cancelled.

Live arrival and departure information for Larnaca airport and Paphos airport is available on Hermes Airports’ website.
