About The Group
Hermes is the operator of both Larnaka International Airport and Pafos International Airport. A consortium comprised of nine local and international shareholders, it assumed management & control of the Airports in 2006 under a 25-year BOT Concession Agreement with the Republic of Cyprus. The new passenger terminal in Pafos opened in November 2008 and in Larnaka in November 2009, making this the biggest construction project ever undertaken in Cyprus.
Hermes Airports’ core value, ‘As One: achieving customer service excellence’, forms the heart of the organisation and has driven several upgrades that include:
- Larnaka Airport’s Solar Park is expected to produce around 6 million kWh of power per year, while the respective Solar Park at Pafos Airport is expected to produce 1.9 million kWh of power per year.
- An extensive refurbishment of Larnaka’s commercial areas
- The introduction and operation of new technologies at both Larnaka and Pafos Airports, including mobile and remote check-in counters, real-time passenger information, and BorderXpress interactive kiosks
- A new, upgraded website that is WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliant and offers a chatbot service
- ‘Roommate’ facilities that are being rolled out across Larnaka Airport and will provide audio guidance (in both English and Greek) in disabled access bathrooms
- Blind Paths at Larnaka and Pafos Airports have been redesigned using the Guardian Tactile System for the use of visually impaired passengers
