Paphos International Airport information

Travellers can easily get to the airdrome from the coastal Paphos city in just 15 minutes, by car or bus shuttle. Paphos is considered one of the richest natural heritages in the world.

Paphos Airport history

Paphos Airport was opened in 1982. However, the history of the modern airport started 16 years ago, when Hermes Airports Ltd, a Cyprus-based company, took over the building of Larnaca and Paphos Airports. The project proved to be very successful, and the number of passengers increased progressively (almost 1.5 times for the period from 2007 to 2016). Thanks to remarkable investments of €645 million, in 2008 a modern terminal was built with a capacity to manage almost 3 million travellers a year.

Continuous improvements of the airfield structure, such as the expansion of the aircraft parking zone and runway to 3,1 m, have meant that Paphos Cyprus Airport is now able to handle even such huge flying machines as the Boeing 747-400. Also, a new wide route is scheduled to connect the PFO and the city for greater traveller convenience.
