Cyprus Airports Report Highest Monthly Traffic Ever
July 2025 marked the busiest month ever recorded at the two international airports of Cyprus, with a total of 1,653,880 passengers traveling through Larnaka and Pafos airports.
This record-breaking month is part of a broader trend of growth in air travel to and from Cyprus. Between January and July 2025, the airports welcomed 7.3 million passengers, representing an 11.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
The island’s popularity during the summer season continues to be a key driver, with strong leisure demand from both traditional and emerging markets contributing to growth in airline activity, airport operations, and the wider tourism sector.
