Occasional flights have left Larnaca for the UK and other European. Actually very few. The difficulty with the border remains, although there have been one time negotiated crossings, normally facilitated by the British High Commission. The worst part of these is that they usually give very little notice - sometimes hours - and can be cancelled with equally little notice. Indeed it is possible that seats are offered to passengers by airlines that hope not to genuinely have them available. Cargo is simpler and more lucrative and extra cargo possibilities at the last minute may lead to passenger spaces being cancelled.
This is likely to become much simpler once the Larnaca Airport is officially handling passenger traffic again and scheduled flights resume, albeit on a reduced timetable. The Cypriot Health Minister (South) said two weeks ago that phase three of exiting the lockdown would take place between June 9 and July 13 and would include gradual reopening of airports and airlines. Not necessarily the last word, as response to the pandemic has been a work in place and plans and procedures have changed over time.
