‘One year to go until new Paphos airport opens’

THE NEW Paphos International Airport has less than a year until it becomes a reality, according to an announcement by operator Hermes yesterday.

A press release sent out yesterday said works for the completion of the new Paphos terminal continue at a rapid pace. The company anticipates the new airport will significantly assist the development of the country.

If all goes to plan, the new airport will open its doors to the public in less than a year and “will mark the beginning of a new era for Cyprus and the Paphos district”, the release said.

“With the operation of the new Paphos International Airport, Hermes Airports Ltd, is aiming to provide a higher level of service to travellers to and from Cyprus, and to the growth of the local economy, particularly the tourism industry.”

The new Paphos International Airport will be able to serve about 2,700,000 passengers annually and will include:

• A new single level passenger terminal of 20,000m2
• The new terminal of Paphos
• 24 Check-in Desks
• six security screening positions
• three baggage claim carousels
• 800 car park spaces

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
