Fact-check: No, the UK has not started direct London–North Cyprus flights
• Viral stories claiming that AJet has launched direct UK–North Cyprus flights are false, according to an investigation by CIReN.
• Transcripts show no official announcement, and regulators confirm no route approval; direct flights would violate international aviation rules.
• The rumour risks consumer fraud and could mislead corporate mobility teams planning emergency-exit strategies for staff in the north of the island.
