Cyprus Travel Update - March 7th 2026

All European flights to Paphos are running normally today, including TUI. At Larnaca airport Middle East flights are still disrupted. All flights from the UK are running normally though, with the exception of one BA route BA0664. Other BA flights to Cyprus operating normally.
Foreign Office remains unchanged since March 5th.
If you are flying from the UK and have a drone, leave it behind, as they are now banned in the Republic of Cyprus until further notice.


Most non-Cypriot travellers who follow Paphos Life are from the UK, so we will concentrate on travel advice from the UK Government. If you are flying from Germany or somewhere else you should check your own Government's website if you want to be 100% sure.
