Paphos International Airport
Paphos is the country's second largest airport, (after Larnaca airport). Paphos airport is commonly use by tourists on holiday in western Cyprus, providing access to popular resorts such as Coral Bay, Peyia Village, Limassol and Paphos itself.
By November 2008 Paphos will receive a new terminal building and also a new runway extension allowing it to handle even the largest aircraft (Airbus A321 and Boeing 747-400). Passenger growth is now expected to be between 3.5% and 4% a year.
The work at Paphos is currently approaching completion and by June 2008 the construction should be finished and the airport expansion will enter a testing phase until it finally opens for business in November 2008.
The airport will then be able to serve about 2.7 million passengers a year and will include: a new single storey passenger terminal with a floor space of 20,000m2, 24 check-in desks (currently 16), six security screening positions, three baggage reclaim carousels and 800 car-park spaces (currently 150).
The airport runway (11/29) is also being extended from its current 2,700m to 3,100m allowing it to handle the largest aircraft. With the airport now being so popular with tourists visiting western Cyprus there is also a new four-lane highway to be constructed. This will link the town of Paphos with the airport so that the current routes, the B6 and the E603, will not become so congested during the tourist season.
