What’s in Store for Larnaca Airport?

The redevelopment at Larnaca Airport covers approximately 20,000 square metres over 30 months. A new wing comprising improved departure and arrival gates, additional baggage areas, and expanded commercial zones is anticipated. This will increase the passenger handling capability to 12.4 million people per year.

Enhancements at Paphos Airport

Similarly, Paphos Airport is set to witness 27 months of terminal enhancements—boosting the capacity by around 30 percent and improving both passenger flow and operational effectiveness. The southern parallel taxiway’s extension will further augment flexibility.

Once completed, Paphos will accommodate up to 5 million passengers annually, making it an integral part of Cyprus’ burgeoning travel infrastructure.
