182 Cypriots repatriated from Dubai on first flight home

A repatriation flight carrying 182 Cypriots has landed in Cyprus from Dubai, according to officials, with more flights scheduled for tomorrow to bring back more nationals stranded in the United Arab Emirates.

Cyprus is among a small number of countries to have organised the repatriation of its citizens in such a short timeframe, sources said.

Requests for assistance continue to come in from Cypriots abroad who had not registered on the Foreign Ministry’s online platform.
