Cyprus Justice Minister holds emergency talks to tackle Larnaca Airport congestion
Cyprus’s Justice Minister Costas Fytiris convened emergency talks on Tuesday to address escalating congestion problems at Larnaca Airport amid the peak summer travel season. Passengers have reported chaotic conditions not only within the terminal but also in the drop-off and pick-up zones outside, causing lengthy queues and significant delays.
The meeting brought together officials from the island’s transport and security sectors to improve coordination and find ways to ease bottlenecks. The Ministry acknowledged that current arrangements have struggled to handle the surge in demand linked to Cyprus's booming tourism.
Minister Fytiris emphasized the need for continuous review and swift resolution of issues to ensure smooth airport operations. However, with concrete actions yet to emerge, travelers are advised to allow extra time when arriving at the country’s busiest airport.
