Record-Breaking Passenger Numbers

Data provided by Hermes Airports reveals that passenger numbers for the first 11 months of 2025 have already surpassed those of the entire previous year. Specifically, between January and November 2025, Larnaca welcomed 9,365,329 passengers while Paphos served 3,640,954 passengers, compared to 8,661,354 and 3,633,990 respectively, in 2024.

Enhanced Parking Infrastructure And Booking Recommendations

The increase in passenger traffic during the festive season has impacted parking availability, particularly at Larnaca Airport, where demand has significantly constrained capacity. In response, airport management has expanded its parking infrastructure by adding 500 new spaces, raising the total to 3,500 available spots.

Authorities urge travelers to secure parking in advance by booking through the official Hermes Airports website. Pre-booking guarantees a reserved spot and ensures a smoother experience amid the peak travel period.

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
