The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Mr Alexis Vafeadis, is pleased to announce that today, Friday 15 December 2023, passenger traffic at airports exceeded the total traffic of the entire pre-pandemic year 2019. It is noted that 2019 was the record year for passenger traffic, while, compared to 2019, this year is expected to show an increase of 3%.
The above increase in passenger traffic, with a positive impact on the economy and tourism of Cyprus, is the result of the joint methodical efforts of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, Hermes Airports Ltd and the Deputy Ministry of Tourism to develop airport connectivity, while the increase in frequencies and the enrichment of the network of Cypriot airports with new airlines and routes played a decisive role in this result. This year, 157 routes were offered by 56 airlines, providing connectivity to 39 countries.
The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works wishes to thank once again the above mentioned partners, as well as all stakeholders who contributed to this effort, and assures that he will continue his efforts to further enhance the connectivity of Cyprus and to improve the level of service to passengers through Larnaca and Pafos airports.
