The Cyprus Foreign Ministry announced the arrival of a Cyprus Airways repatriation flight from Dubai with 149 passengers on Wednesday, completing the chartered flight schedule established in response to the regional conflict between the US-Israel and Iran, which has spread to include neighbouring states.
Over the past week, the Ministry’s National Crisis Management Centre, together with diplomatic missions, coordinated a total of eight chartered flights with 1,181 people, who departed from the crisis area.
These are mainly Cypriot citizens, citizens of other countries permanently residing on the island, as well as EU citizens.
The Ministry and diplomatic missions will continue to provide assistance to Cyprus citizens remaining in the area, the announcement reads.
