US issues caution over Cyprus airspace amid tensions with Iran

The United States has issued a “notice to airmen” (Notam) for the Nicosia designated flight information region (FIR) covering Cyprus, defence minister Vassilis Palmas confirmed on Monday.

He described the move as part of ongoing monitoring of rising geopolitical uncertainty in the Eastern Mediterranean and stressed that there is no immediate threat.

“There is no reason to panic,” he said, stressing that the government is conducting a continuous assessment of all available data to ensure readiness.
