Cyprus Paphos International Airport
Paphos International Airport (Greek: Διεθνής Αερολιμένας Πάφου;
Turkish: Baf Uluslararası Havaalanı) (IATA: PFO, ICAO: LCPH) is
located 6.5 km (4.0 mi) southeast of the city of Paphos, Cyprus. It
is the country's second largest airport, after Larnaca
International Airport. Paphos Airport is commonly used by tourists
on holiday in western Cyprus, providing access to popular resorts
such as Coral Bay, Limassol and Paphos itself.
In May 2006, Hermes Airports Limited took over the construction,
development and operation of both Larnaca and Paphos airports for a
period of 25 years. A new terminal opened at Paphos in November
2008.
According to the airport operator, Paphos Airport served 1,744,011
passengers in 2007. Passenger facilities include 28 check-in desks,
seven gates, 22 aircraft stands, a bank, restaurants, cafeterias,
bars, a duty free shop and a gift shop. Other facilities include a
tourist help desk, car rental, first aid, a baby/parent room and
disabled access facilities.
Refrigerated storage, health officials, and X-ray equipment are
among some of the facilities provided for cargo. Furthermore,
loading platforms and forklifts are also available.
A new four-lane road is being planned to link the airport and
Paphos so passengers and staff can avoid using the B6 Main road and
the E603 secondary road which are often heavily congested.
On 10 January 2012, Ryanair announced they were to open their 50th
base in Paphos. In April 2012, they placed 2 aircraft in Paphos
with 15 new routes, offering over 80 flights a week. Ryanair claim
the reason they opened the base in Paphos was due to reduced
landing charges offered by Hermes' incentive scheme, as well as the
fact that they can easily operate within their standards (e.g.
their typical 25 minutes turnaround time).
