The British Government has updated its travel advice for Cyprus for British tourists flying out of Larnaca and Paphos.

The advice reads: “Due to the current situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, the airport operator is advising passengers flying out of Larnaca and Paphos airports to arrive at their terminals at least three hours before their flight’s scheduled departure time.”

Tourists will need to make sure they arrive at the airport at least three hours before their flight and will need to plan accordingly.

The Government also advised tourists that demonstrations could occur with little or no warning in Cyprus.

It added: “Events in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories have led to heightened tensions in the region and demonstrations are likely.”
