10/18/2018 (Cyprus) - The Cypriot airline Cobalt Air at 2359hrs (2059 UTC) on 17 October, has cancelled all its flights and indefinitely suspended operations, advising customers not to go to the airport. Cobalt, which had taken passengers to and from Cyprus since 2016, flew to 23 destinations and operated flights at Heathrow (LHR), Stansted (STN), Gatwick (LGW) and Manchester (MAN) airports. It announced the cancellation of all flights in a statement published on its website. Cobalt said it had called in administrators after failing to secure long-term funding. The Cypriot transport minister, Vasiliki Anastasiadou, pledged state support for all those stranded in Cyprus or overseas and said telephone numbers would be announced soon to help passengers.
Travellers who are due to fly with Cobalt Air are advised to contact their travel provider to confirm and rearrange their itineraries if necessary. Monitor local media to keep updated on events.
