Early on the morning of 16 July, several aircraft were unable to land at Larnaca Airport due to dense fog and were diverted to Paphos Airport. They included Wizz Air flights from Bratislava, Aegean from Athens, British Airways from London and Air Serbia from Belgrade. The diversions were caused by difficult weather conditions: thick fog significantly reduced visibility. In such cases, when delays or diversions are caused by the weather, airlines are not required under the current rules to pay compensation to passengers. However, not all flights were diverted to Paphos. Some aircraft managed to land safely in Larnaca, while others were forced to divert to an alternative airport. This was because the fog was uneven and visibility was changing rapidly. In addition, each type of aircraft and crew has its own operating minima under which a landing is considered safe. If conditions do not meet these requirements, and waiting for the weather to improve or making further landing attempts is limited by busy airspace and available fuel, the crew decides to proceed to an alternative airport. This is a standard procedure designed to ensure flight safety. Русский | Ελληνικά | Instagram
