Paphos International Airport |

Paphos airport is under major refurbishment, by the end of 2008 paphos will have a new airport ready to satisfy the needs of both the travellers and the airlines. Hermes airports is the consortium in charge of the project, the company will spend 635million Euro for building new international airports for paphos and larnaca and will be the one managing the airports for 25 years
The small Paphos International Airport (PFO) serves mostly charter flights. Flights to Paphos are widely available from charter flight companies from many of the UK's regional airports, from Exeter in the Southwest to Glasgow in the North. Many tour operators including First Choice, Thomson and Monarch fly regularly. Flights to Paphos are also available using the scheduled services from British Airways and Cyprus Airways. This can be one busy airport, particularly departures on Wednesdays. The airport is relatively small and can have 6 or 7 flights taking off around the same time, it can be murder!! Once you have managed to check in and make your way into the departure lounge, you will need to keep your eyes and ears open to listen to the rather 'muted' announcements. If the thought of a busy Paphos airport puts you off then why not head off to Larnaca - and have the same problems on a bigger scale - really though the problems appear no worse than any other airport in the world on a busy day! A highway connects to Limassol (68 km) and from there onward to the rest of Cyprus, and shared taxis (£3-4) run reasonably often. |
