July 2025 has gone down as the busiest month on record for Cyprus airports, with 1,653,880 travelers passing through Larnaka and Pafos terminals, according to Hermes Airports.
Figures released by the airport operator highlight the continued rise in Cyprus’s appeal as a travel destination. Passenger numbers for the first seven months of 2025 reached 7.3 million — an 11.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
Hermes attributed the growth to strong demand from key markets including Israel, the UK, Poland, Greece, Armenia, and Germany, which together accounted for 70% of this year’s total passenger growth.
The surge was further boosted by improved performance from 40 of the 58 airlines currently serving Cyprus. Notable contributors to the market’s expansion included Wizz Air, Aegean, Cyprus Airways, TUI Group, LOT, and Air Haifa — collectively responsible for 60% of the overall growth.
Between January and July 2025, Cyprus also welcomed five new airlines and launched six additional routes, further enhancing its connectivity. Hermes Airports credited the achievement to the coordinated efforts of airlines, partners, and airport staff, ensuring smooth operations for millions of passengers.
