This year's passenger traffic at Larnaca and Paphos airports has exceeded 12 million people, Hermes Airports has said.

"A new historical milestone has been achieved for the international airports of Larnaca and Paphos, as today, Friday, 20 December, passenger traffic exceeded 12 million total passengers for the first time," Hermes noted in a press release issued that day.

It is added that this achievement comes after a period of significant challenges in tourism and air transport due to the pandemic and various geopolitical developments.

"The milestone of 12 million passengers is a practical demonstration of the confidence and momentum that our country has as a destination and confirms the resilience of the tourism sector in Cyprus,” it added.

According to the announcement, “from the first day that Hermes Airports took over the management of the Cypriot airports, it has been implementing a systematic and targeted strategy to strengthen the connectivity of Cyprus, which has yielded significant results since there is a steady expansion of air connections by attracting new airlines, expanding the destination network and significantly increasing passenger traffic.”

Today, the air connectivity of Cyprus has not only improved significantly, but has also established itself at a very strong and competitive level, it concluded.
