UK updates travel advice for Cyprus, information on Israel directing flights to Larnaca

The UK has updated its travel advice for Cyprus, with information on Israel directing Cyprus-bound flights from Paphos airport to Larnaca airport, for security reasons.

The advice is still current at 1 February 2025 and was updated 29 January 2025 on the Foreign Office’s webpage.

Among others it notes that “although there’s no recent history of terrorism in Cyprus, attacks cannot be ruled out. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreign nationals. Israel is directing all its Cyprus-bound flights to Larnaca Airport for security reasons. UK flights are not currently affected by this change.”
