Nine young Cypriots stranded in Thailand due to flight cancellations
Nine residents of Paphos, all aged 23, are stranded in Thailand where they went for a holiday. Cyprus state services are currently trying to help them return home.
According to authorities, the young people are unable to fly out of Asia due to the suspension of flights through Middle Eastern countries.
Cyprus Foreign Ministry spokesperson Theodoros Gotsis stated that other Cypriot citizens who traveled via Dubai are in a similar situation.
He explained that consular support for Cypriots in Thailand is being provided by the High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in New Delhi, but assistance is limited as Cyprus has no diplomatic mission directly in Thailand.
The Foreign Ministry advises citizens to try to find alternative flights, as some airspaces in the Middle East have recently begun to partially reopen.
