A total of 24 flights have been chartered, and are set to depart from Larnaca on Friday, to repatriate Israelis attempting to return to Israel amid the closure of the country’s airspace to general aviation amid its ongoing conflict with Iran.

The flights are set to depart for the Israeli cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv, as well as to the Jordanian city of Aqaba, which is located adjacent to Israel’s Eilat on the shores of the Red Sea, and to Jordan’s capital Amman.

In total, six flights from Larnaca will depart for Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport, nine will depart for Haifa, eight will depart for Aqaba, and one will depart for Amman.

The Cyprus News Agency wrote that the flights to Israel “receive special permission from the Israeli authorities” due to the ongoing situation.

In addition, it reported that boats from Israel continued to arrive at and depart from the Larnaca marina, ferrying people who wish to leave Israel to the island, and ferrying Israelis to the country.

In total, 22 boats arrived and departed on Thursday, with around 150 Israelis leaving the Larnaca marina for Israel.

Meanwhile, the cruise ship the Crown Iris, which had earlier in the week transported around 1,500 non-Israeli Jewish people from Israel to Cyprus, arrived at the northern Israeli port of Haifa on Friday morning, according to Israeli newspaper the Times of Israel.

The ship had been docked in Limassol on Thursday after arriving in Larnaca the previous day.

It had been reported that the ship may make another return voyage to Cyprus in the coming days, or that it may be replaced with a larger-capacity cruise ship.

Friday’s flights are to be the latest in a days-long operation aimed at transporting Israelis to Israel and transporting others away from the Middle East.

Multiple flights also left Larnaca for Israel on Thursday, though Israeli newspaper the Times of Israel had reported that a flight operated by Israel’s national carrier El Al from Larnaca was forced to pull away from its planned landing at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport that morning amid a barrage of Iranian missiles.

“The flight circled in the air for some 30 minutes until authorities confirmed it was safe to land, then touched down without incident,” it added.

El Al has also begun the process of operating repatriation flights from Athens, Rome, Milan, Paris, Budapest, and London, with an El Al aircraft having departed Larnaca for Paris on Thursday afternoon.
