CYPRUS & PAFOS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS(Construction is scheduled for completion in 2013)Place: Larnaca and Pafos Project: An upgrade of Larnaca and Paphos airports has started and represents Cyprus's first Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project. Detail of the Work: Hermes is to build new passenger terminals and extend the runways at both airports under a 25-year concession. Larnaca’s first phase (due for completion in 2008) will serve 7.5m passengers a year.The arrivals hall was expanded in February 2006 adding two luggage belts bringing the total up to six, a smoking area, and a larger lounge. This was done as a 'stopgap' measure to better enable the airport to handle passengers until a new terminal is completed on a nearby site. A second phase, due to be completed in 2013, provides for the expansion of the terminal to cater for 9m passengers a year, and for a 500m runway extension. The design for the new 98,000 m2 Larnaca terminal includes 16 boarding bridges and is intended to reflect the proportions of a medieval aqueduct located in the city. |
