Cyprus veterans will tell you how run down Larnaca airport was looking so it was refreshing during a recent visit in February to experience what €650m EUROS can buy you when it comes to building a new airport.
Hermes Airports built it and already has and plans to extend the runway. The new terminal building opened on 7 November 2009. It has 16 jetways (boarding bridges), 67 check in counters, 8 self check-in kiosks, 48 departure gates, 2,450 parking spots. The new terminal can handle 7.5 million passengers per year.
