If we had any senseand came to a solution we could have just used Ercan and Paphos airports for flights to the whole of Cyprus for everyone and not ruined our environment in a small country by building so many: we already have these two plus Larnaca,plus Akrotiri,plus Lefkoniko and Nicosia,the last wo of which are defunct?What lunacy in a small countrry like this!

The buildings of Larnaca Airport are there from 1974...

I hope VP does not suffer a heart attack when the ERMES Airport starts operating.

Is it that crap?

I heard we were supposed to be having a second airport opening in the north too. Can anyone confirm this?

[StuartN]

Theres already flights into Gecitkale..... more than adequate for a 2nd airport.

TRNC doesn't even have a drug problem, we don't even have the appropriate culture that would provide a market for such illegalities, unlike your drugged whore house Aya Napa and its surroundings, where people invade from all around the world for drugs and a quick shag

Wake up Shahmaran. No drugs in the North? I must have been misinformed.

ERMES AIRPORT:

The project is expected to cost some 622 million euros, and will see the construction of two passenger terminals at both airports, featuring VIP and CIP (Commercially Important Persons) halls, CCTV, and the CUTE (Common Use Terminal Equipment) system CUTE allows an airport to organise gate and check-in counter allocations and system management in the most efficient way. It controls and integrates all components, including the airline gateways, emulators and peripheral drivers (printers, boarding gate readers, workstations etc.).

The changes will see the airports transform into fully modern facilities, with walkways leading passengers directly from the new terminals to the plane.


But cash aside, the whole point of the exercise is to increase the capacity of the two airports, which are currently stretched to the limit.

For example, Larnaca was designed to service 2.5 million passengers, but currently some 6.5 million people use the airport every year. The target is 9 million passengers.

The new terminal there will be located some 2km from the existing building, and will be directly accessible from the Rizoelia roundabout junction.




Bouygues Bâtiment International was awarded the 491 million euro contract to design and build two airports at Paphos and Larnaka to replace the existing, outdated facilities. The Larnaka and Paphos terminals will have surface areas of 100,000 m2 and 20,000 m2, respectively. The contract also includes 80 hectares of exterior developments. Civil engineering and structural work will be subcontracted to local Cyprus-based partners (Iacouvou and Charilaos Apostolides Public Ltd). Bouygues Bâtiment International will deliver the turnkey facilities, including all of the amenities necessary for operation, from baggage sorting systems to security gates, aircraft boarding bridges, passenger information systems and check-in facilities. The construction site will employ over a 2,000 workers during peak periods.

The number of travellers to Cyprus has increased constantly since the country joined the European Union. The combined capacity of the two airports will eventually reach over 10 million passengers, up from 6.5 million today. The new Paphos terminal, to be delivered in November 2008, will handle nearly 3 million travellers a year, while the Larnaka airport, planned for November 2009, will handle 7.5 million passengers.

No I can piss further.

And this one for little Paphos that will handle 3 million people per year. Good luck Ercan with your 0.5 million :razz::razz:
