In the framework of cooperation and upgraded relations between the Armed Forces of the Republic of Cyprus and Jordan, they were hosted on Sunday, 30 July 2023, at the "ANDREAS PAPANDREOU" Air Base in Paphos, as a stopover for refuelling and a short rest for their crews, the four helicopters of the Royal Jordanian Air Force that took part in extinguishing the fires in Greece.
These crews had taken part, together with the airborne firefighting forces of the Republic of Cyprus (RoC), in the Forestry Department's exercise "FIRE 2023", which took place in Cyprus in May 2023, and were again hosted at Paphos Air Base. At the same time, the Chief of the Royal Jordanian Air Force Brigadier General Mohammad Fathi Hiyasat paid an official visit to Cyprus, with whom the Chief of the National Guard Lieutenant General Demokritos Zervakis had a private meeting.
The presence of the Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft in Cyprus is part of the network of international partnerships developed by the National Guard and proves that the airports of the Republic of Cyprus are a permanent base for the parking and resupply of friendly and allied countries, highlighting Cyprus as a key supply and service hub in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
