Urgent pleas to expand Paphos airport

As the summer tourist season edges towards its conclusion, Paphos airport is once again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

While the island’s tourism industry thrives, with data indicating a steady number of visitors flocking to its shores from May until September, the airport continues to struggle with capacity issues, leaving many travellers frustrated. By the end of August, the island had welcomed over 2.2 million tourists, marking a 7 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2023.
