Improvements and Challenges in Passenger Rights at Cypriot Airports
August 16, 2026
During this summer tourist season, complaints from passengers at Cypriot airports have decreased, but communication issues with airlines regarding compensation remain. The average response time for complaints is 3-4 weeks, with many airlines citing 'extraordinary circumstances' to avoid compensation. Significant changes in passenger rights are expected from 2027, including new procedures for compensation and hand luggage. The Cyprus Consumer Association notes an improvement in the management of passenger rights. Despite these changes, consumers continue to report delays in communication with airlines.
