A passenger plane flying from Prague had to land at a different airport in Cyprus on Sunday because of very bad weather. The plane could not land at its planned airport, Larnaca, so it landed at Paphos Airport instead. This caused a two-hour delay for everyone on board.
The problem was a big storm called ADEL. This storm covered Cyprus in thick fog, heavy rain, and strong winds. The weather service had already given a yellow warning for the whole island. They said there would be dangerous conditions, including very heavy rain and strong winds.
When the plane tried to land at Larnaca, the pilots could not see the runway because of the fog. They waited in the air for about thirty minutes, but the weather did not get better. So, the pilot decided to fly to Paphos Airport, where the weather was a little better. After landing in Paphos, the plane got more fuel. It waited until it was safe to fly to Larnaca.
The plane finally arrived in Larnaca at 4:00 PM, two hours late. This situation shows how bad weather can easily disrupt air travel. These changes are complicated and expensive for airlines. They also cause problems for airport schedules.
The weather service says the rainy and windy weather will continue for the next few days. This means there could be more delays for travellers. This event reminds us that safety is the most important thing in air travel, even when it causes delays.
