Reconsider travel to Cyprus due to armed conflict in the region and the risk of drone and missile overflight.
Reconsider travel to Cyprus. The island’s proximity to the active conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean exposes it to drone and missile overflight and to the risk of spillover, and military facilities on the island may be regarded as potential targets. The renewed escalation in early June 2026 has disrupted regional air travel, with closures and rerouting affecting flights to and from Cypriot airports. Large movements of evacuees and stranded travellers transit the island, straining services. Travellers who remain should monitor official alerts, keep travel arrangements flexible, and anticipate sudden disruption to flights. The situation can deteriorate rapidly and unpredictably.
