Larnaca Airport arrivals road reopens after 34-month closure
The road to Larnaca Airport’s arrivals area reopened on Friday afternoon, with private vehicles permitted to collect passengers.
Larnaca, Cyprus. The road to Larnaca Airport’s arrivals area reopened at 3pm on Friday, August 7, after being closed for nearly three years, or 34 months, providing relief to drivers and passengers.
Reopening arrangements
The reopening followed an initiative by Justice and Public Order Minister Costas Fytiris and was made possible through cooperation between police, the Department of Public Works and airport operator Hermes Airports.
The arrivals road had been closed since October 2023 for security reasons following the Hamas attack on Israel. The closure had caused difficulties for thousands of drivers and led to long queues at the departures gate.
Access for vehicles
Police said all private vehicles may use the arrivals road to collect passengers. Taxis will not be permitted to use the route.
Taxi pick-ups will be served exclusively from designated areas west of the terminal buildings, near the bus waiting areas. Taxis dropping off passengers will use the road to the departures area.
Traffic guidance
Police urged drivers to follow road signs and officers’ instructions, avoid unnecessary stopping or parking, and use designated parking areas.
Officers will be present to manage traffic, assist the public and carry out checks to ensure compliance with the new arrangements.
