During Thursday’s three-hour general strike over the Cost-of-Living Allowance, 4,000 passengers and 21 flights at Larnaca and Paphos airports will be affected.
The scheduled strike from 12:00 to 15:00 on Thursday will cause flight disruption at Larnaca and Paphos airports.
According to airports operator Hermes Airports, 21 flights to and from Larnaca and Paphos are expected to be affected.
Larnaca will see 16 flights changed – 9 arrivals and seven departures and Paphos will change six flights – 3 arrivals and three departures.
Some 4,000 passengers at Larnaca and Paphos were expected to be affected by 12: 00-15: 00 on Thursday.
No cancellations are expected, but most flights have been rescheduled to arrive or depart before or after the strike.
Airlines have informed passengers of the new times of flight departures, while an updated program is expected to be posted on the Hermes Airports website later Wednesday.
Hermes said that although ground service will be involved in the strike, passengers will be left on an aircraft if there is an arrival during the strike for any reason.
After the strike ends, arrangements have been made for additional staff so people can quickly be processed for departure.
Travellers are advised to contact their airline or the travel agent for flight changes.
Cyprus Airways has changed flight times due to the strike to ensure passengers reach their destination on the planned day of travel.
