Traffic congestion was created at Larnaca International Airport on Tuesday morning when the temporary pickup zone reached full capacity.
Drivers arriving to collect passengers were redirected to alternative parking areas, causing significant traffic buildup around the airport perimeter.
Many motorists reported lengthy delays while searching for available parking spaces, with some waiting considerable time before being able to park their vehicles.
Hermes Airports, the operator of Larnaca International Airport, confirmed that “the situation has normalised and there is no longer traffic congestion” in the external areas.
This congestion problem occurs frequently during peak travel periods at Larnaca airport, partly due to security measures implemented since October 2023 following Israel’s war in Gaza.
