Filenews 4 August 2025 - by Dora Christodoulou
The absence of any trace of Israeli tourism from Paphos in the last year, due to the war operations in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Iran, has been replaced in the last month with a very dense flight schedule between Tel Aviv and Haifa with Paphos.
Flights from Israel to Paphos have resumed for good, with airlines of the neighbouring country recording on a daily basis up to four or more flights in some cases to and from Paphos International Airport. Although it is now too late to regain the capital position of this country on the tourist map of arrivals on the island, the rapid increase in flights in recent weeks is being met with feelings of satisfaction and relief to the local authorities, who are looking forward to a better immediate future with the full normalization of the situation on the battlefields.
These flights are now operated by the entire fleet of Israeli airlines, including EL Al, while flights are also operated by the Cypriot interests TUS. The only absence is still that of Ryanair, which is not yet involved in the rerouting of flights.
