Overview

Larnaca International Airport (LCA), officially known as Larnaca International Airport Glafcos Clerides, is the main entry point to Cyprus, particularly for those visiting the eastern regions. Situated a mere 4 kilometers south of Larnaca city, the airport boasts a modern terminal opened in 2009, handling over five million passengers annually. Originally established as a military airfield in the 1930s, the airport's role shifted dramatically after the Turkish invasion in 1974, becoming a crucial hub for humanitarian aid. With the Nicosia International Airport falling within the UN buffer zone, Larnaca Airport was upgraded to accommodate commercial flights, marking its transition to a civilian airport in 1975. Today, LCA features a single, well-organized terminal with separate levels for arrivals and departures. Passengers can find a wide array of amenities, including duty-free shops, restaurants, car rental services, and tourist information. The airport ensures accessibility with facilities for disabled passengers and families. With its strategic location and comprehensive facilities, Larnaca Airport is the ideal starting point for exploring the eastern coast of Cyprus.
