Cyprus Airways Flight Compensation Claims
As a passenger, you may be entitled to compensation if the following have occurred:

- Cyprus Airways Cancel Flight: if Cyprus Airways cancelled your flight and informed you less than 14 days before departure.

Cyprus Airways Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?
When Cyprus Airways can escape liability: Cyprus Airways claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a Cyprus Airways missed flight refund.
All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.
Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a Cyprus Airways flight compensation.
An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.
When Cyprus Airways cannot escape liability: When Cyprus Airways cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.
Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive Cyprus Airways flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

Cyprus Airways Flight Refund policy
A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.
In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.
If Cyprus Airways cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.
Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.
Note: If Cyprus Airways offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund.
Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

Cyprus Airways Flight Delay Compensation
While all airlines attempt to operate on time, sometimes delays happen. EU regulation 261 (EU 261) protects passengers in cases of flight delays.
According to EC 261, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a Cyprus Airways delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.
Exclusions: Cyprus Airways delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight departure time is delayed because of bad weather or any airport related disruption, that is considered an extraordinary circumstance. Technical problems, airline staff strike, or operational problems are not valid reasons for rejected compensation claims.
Tip: accepting vouchers or signing release paperwork will result in losing the right to compensation.

They said, I have no the citizenship of the Russian Federation and just have the residence status and I can not fly because I have a wrong Covid test.
We had come to the beginning of registration. We were kept in line at the registration desk, then at the security check, then at passport control. When we finally made it to the gate we were told that boarding was over and we couldn't board the plane. Though they said that later that day or the next day there'd be another plane to Larnaca and they'd board us on it so we'd just need to come to the Cyprus Airways' desk at the airport. Which happened to be not true and it looks like that statement was intended to lull our vigilance. Moreover there was neither Cyprus Airways desk nor their employee at the airport as we found out later. We called their support line, but they said that this was totally our fault and they were not going to refund us anything except 75 euro per ticket (which is about 28% of its actual price). And most outrageously, they said that they had also cancelled our return tickets without any refund or compensation motivating it by the fact that it was the same booking. Additional facts: - At registration desk we were silently given boarding passes with different seats than we'd chosen before. Without any explanation or attracting our attention to this fact. We found it out later. - No airport announcement was made that the boarding of our plane was finished nor about its missing passengers. We were carefully listening to all the announcements at the airport. - We were told at the gate that they'd called to passport control looking for us which seems not to be true, because no one at passport control said anything about that or that we need to hurry up.
