The new Larnaka International Airport, which was inaugurated in November 2009, extends over an area of 100,000 m². In the framework of a 25-year public-private partnership, Bouygues Bâtiment International designed and constructed the new terminal, in accordance with European and anti-seismic standards. It is highly energy-efficient; its ventilation system includes an air displacement diffuser to avoid waste. The terminal provides greater comfort than its predecessor and helps reduce passenger waiting time.
