Hermes Airports, the operator of both Larnaka and Pafos airports, announced that Larnaka received the \u201cHighly Commended\u201d distinction in the \u201cBest Airports in Europe\u201d category for facilities handling between 5 to 10 million passengers annually. The top spot in this category went to Sofia\u2019s Vasil Levski Airport.<\/p>\n
This recognition marks a new milestone for Larnaka Airport, reinforcing its standing among Europe\u2019s most efficiently managed and strategically forward-looking transport hubs.

In a statement, Hermes Airports CEO Eleni Kaloyirou attributed the award to the collaborative effort of the company\u2019s team and reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining momentum. \u201cThis recognition from ACI Europe is a reflection of our ongoing efforts to continuously enhance services and drive meaningful progress in Cyprus’ aviation sector,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The achievement aligns with broader advancements in Cyprus\u2019 air connectivity. According to ACI Europe\u2019s latest Air Connectivity Report for 2025, both Larnaka and Pafos airports lead all European airports in growth of direct air connectivity, with an 18% year-on-year increase in flights and destinations.<\/p>\n
