Hermes Airports proceeds with the commencement of Phase 2 Works for Larnaka and Pafos Airports

The financing process for the Phase 2 expansion works, at both Larnaka and Pafos airports, has been completed and Hermes Airports is now ready to proceed with the activation of all working groups, in order to formally initiate the Phase 2 project.

The completion of Phase 2 at both Cyprus Airports will increase capacity to 12.4 million passengers at Larnaka airport and 5 million at Pafos airport annually. This major milestone ensures the sustainable growth of passenger traffic for the coming decades, as the airports will meet the future demands of air connectivity. 

Indicatively, at Larnaka Airport, the works will cover a total area of approximately 20,000 square meters and concern among other things, the creation of a new annex with departure and arrival gates, which will be connected to the main terminal building, the addition of baggage claim belts, a new passport control and security clearance area, the expansion of the commercial areas, as well as an increase in aircraft parking spaces.

At Pafos Airport, the works to be carried out will increase the capacity of the airport terminal by approximately 30%, significantly improving the passenger experience and the efficiency of controls and procedures. At the same time, the southern parallel taxiway will be expanded, enhancing the operational flexibility of the airport.
