Paphos councillor offers help for Cypriot students stranded in Thailand

Paphos municipal councillor, Alexander Jiang offered his services to the government on Wednesday in facilitating the repatriation of nine Cypriot students remain stranded in Thailand, after widespread airspace and airport closures across parts of the Middle East disrupted their return journey following a post-exams holiday.

The students, all aged 23, travelled to Thailand after completing their university examinations but were unable to fly back to Cyprus after aviation routes were affected by the US-Israeli conflict with Iran.
