Now there may be other considerations at play here which prevent that of course - maybe for TLV the cabin has to be secure unusually early for example.
Indeed. For TLV there is an Israeli regulation that all non-Israeli airlines must have all passengers seated and belted when entering Israeli airspace, which is not that long after leaving Larnaca. On a typical flight without the Larnaca stop it is about 40 mins before landing in TLV.
