Could you imagine the chaos at LCA if 800 passengers arrived on one plane?

yep..nice one....one up on the yanks at last.

Amen, an amazing sight

Given how long it takes the baggage handlers to unload a 737 at LCA, it'd take a couple of days for them to sort one of those out...

the ministry of transport predicts about 15.000.000 passengers will travel to cyprus in 2015(i have my doubts).for 2004 the passengers were a bit more than 6.000.000
maybe if they predict it in the plans for the new airport....well it will approach the range of a miracle but who knows....

Hi
Really, is there a new airport planned ? ( apart those existing in Larnaka and Paphos in South Cyprus)
Thanks

[sk]

yes,two airports actually. one in larnaka and one in pafos to replace the existing ones.they will built them by 2009(at least this is what they say).they will built them with the bot method. the company who won the contest is a consortium of cypriot and french companies.the new pafos airport will be for 2,500,000 people and the one in larnaka for 15,000,000people(at the first phase it will be for 7,500,000).
