CY flights rescheduled today

CYPRUS Airways has rescheduled today’s flights to accommodate the changing status of the strike by Greek air traffic controllers. 

The airline will push back two flights which were originally scheduled for midnight today. 

A flight from Larnaca for Athens will now depart at 5pm and a Larnaca-to-Thessaloniki flight will leave at 6pm. 

The Greek strike was meant to last 48 hours but was reduced to 12 hours on Tuesday evening. 

Cyprus Airways kept to their original plan for yesterday as they had already made arrangements for all their passengers, the airline said in an announcement. 

“It was not made possible to reschedule several flights,” Hermes’ Airports, Adamos Aspris said. 

Aspris said that 22 flights to and from Greece and Larnaca were in the end affected: 12 arrivals and 10 departures. 

Those involved Cyprus Airways, Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air flights.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
