A total of 24 flights are scheduled to land in Cyprus from Israel on Thursday as people flee the ongoing conflict in the country.
Of the flights, 23 are set to land at Larnaca airport, and the other at Paphos airport.
Meanwhile, foreign ministry spokesman Theodoros Gotsis explained to the Cyprus News Agency (CNA) that the passengers who were due to board the Austrian military aircraft to Cyprus which broke down on Wednesday evening are leaving Israel on alternative flights.
Some 80 of the planned travellers boarded an Israeli commercial aircraft to travel to Larnaca, while a direct flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna has been planned for today.
Gotsis also said arrangements are being made for the small number of Cypriot citizens resident in Israel who wish to return to the country, and that they will board commercial flights within the coming days.
He added that the ministry is in “constant contact” with the Cypriot embassy in Tel Aviv.
