Is it because Ercan is operating outside the International Aviation Authorities jurisdiction. Also relatively important is that you can not fly into Ercan directly since it is not a legal entry into the RoC , according to the International laws governing entry into the sovereign area of a nation."" It is located northeast of the Cypriot capital city of Nicosia near the village of Tymvou and it is not internationally recognised as a legal port of entry except by Turkey, the "TRNC", and Azerbaijan (though the latter nation thus far only permits charter flights direct from Baku, not commercial)[citation needed]. All international flights thus touch down in Turkey before continuing to Ercan, although it is known that KTHY does fly straight to Ercan when there are no passengers to get on/off from Turkey. ""
The above might give some info that you may not have had.
As far as Larnaca Airport I feel its about time that the Pick Up and Drop off area is used as such.
