Larnaka International Airport

The new Larnaka International Airport is the jewel and pride of Cyprus and operates in accordance with the demands of today offering the highest quality service and expectations for the future.

The New airport is 15 minutes from Larnaka Town centre, 35 minutes from Nicosia, 45 minutes from Limassol and 1 hour and 15 minutes from Pafos. Rush hour is during 7:30-8:30 in the morning and 17:00-18:00 during the evening so if you are travelling around this time it is wise to add on average extra 10-20 minutes.  

Visitors arriving in Cyprus by air may enter the Republic only through the International Airport of Larnaka and the Pafos Airport.  Entry via other airport is illegal..

The new structure is a modern group of buildings with clean and functional lines that visitors will appreciate the effort that has gone into the design and construction. Both airports of Larnaka and Pafos provide visitors with their first impressions of Cyprus. This impressive state of the arts structure enables the airport community to provide travellers with a sense of place and comfort, allowing them to pass their time in a pleasant and friendly environment, while at the same time conveying the warm hospitality of Cyprus. 

Fully functional and modern, the new Larnaka International Airport embodies elements of the island’s culture and civilisation, whilst representing the profile of an ultra modern country in the best way possible. Viewing the airport from above, one can see the metallic roof on the central core of the building, which looks much like a landing strip. The arrival and departure halls are centred in this area, and are adjoined by 16 passenger boarding bridges. The airport has 2 exits, so as to avoid congestion.  Departures take place on the second floor of the building, which is at the same level as the outer, central courtyard and car parks.

Besides functionality, the connection to Cypriot culture and the natural surroundings was taken into consideration. The well-lit airport provides travellers with their first images of Cyprus and the local culture, which will enable them to truly feel that they have landed on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus!  Passengers can also enjoy the unique images of the salt lake and the blue vastness of the sea through rectangular openings all across the length of the passenger boarding bridges, making sure the majestic images of Cyprus are the first and last thing a traveller sees.

Drawing on influences from Cypriot culture, the shopping area of the new Larnaka International Airport is set to become a key part of the holiday experience. The experienced designers who oversaw the planning and décor of the area used the Cypriot zest for life as their source of inspiration. Their motto is the word ‘Kopiaste’, (meaning  ‘Welcome’,) a true reflection of what real Cypriot hospitality is all about, and this gives the shopping area an authentic feel of the island’s fashion and style. The shopping area of the airport is adjoined with the rest of the building, and follows the same modern design, maintaining the traveller’s convenience as a priority, and allowing for full functionality. Travellers have access to all sections of the shops, including luxury goods, watches, jewellery, cosmetics and perfumes, clothing and accessories, sports, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, electronic goods, confectionary, toys, traditional Cyprus food products, souvenirs and handicrafts, magazines and books.
