Aegean Flight to Larnaca Returns to Athens Due to Airspace Closure

The morning Aegean flight from Athens to Larnaca (902) was cancelled and returned to Athens due to a temporary closure of Cypriot airspace for security reasons. The aircraft was in the process of landing when it was informed of the delay and subsequently of its return to 'Eleftherios Venizelos' airport. According to Aegean, the flight is expected to arrive in Athens within half an hour, and air traffic in Cypriot airspace has been restored. The incident is linked to the heightened alert in Cyprus due to developments in the region.
