The foundation stone for Phase II of the development of Larnaca and Paphos airports was laid on 5 June in the presence of President Nikos Christodoulides.
The ceremony, held at Larnaca Airport, marked the beginning of a milestone project for the air transport sector and Cyprus broader development strategy. It will ensure that our airports can effectively meet the needs of a new era in travel—one that extends beyond the current Concession Agreement period.
