Airports Pafos International Airport (IATA: PFO) is Cyprus’ second international airport and is the gateway to Pafos and to the island at large. It is located only 15 km east of the city centre with one terminal at the airport.
In May 2006, Hermes Airports Limited took over the construction, development and operation of Larnaka and Pafos international airports for a period of 25 years. A new revamped terminal for Paphos opened in November 2008. The old airport consisted of a single large apron for all aircraft and had no boarding bridges, so all passengers were taken by bus to and from the main terminal buildings. This changed when the new airport was completed in November of 2008.

Passenger facilities include 28 check-in desks, 7 gates, 22 aircraft stands, a bank, restaurants, cafeterias, bars, a duty free shop and a gift shop. Other facilities include a tourist help desk, car rental, first aid, a baby/parent room and disabled access facilities.
