'''Larnaca International Airport – Glafcos Clerides'''{{efn|{{lang-el|Διεθνής Aερολιμένας Λάρνακας}} (''Diethnís Aeroliménas Lárnakas''). {{lang-tr|Larnaka Uluslararası Havaalanı}}).}} {{airport codes|LCA|LCLK}} is an international airport located {{convert|4|km|abbr=on}} southwest of [[Place:Larnaca|Larnaca]], [[Place:Cyprus|Cyprus]].<ref name="AIP" /> Larnaca International Airport is Cyprus' main international gateway and the larger of the two commercial airports in the area controlled by the Republic of Cyprus, the other being Paphos International Airport on the island's southwestern coast. The airport was given its current name in July 2016, in honour of former President of Cyprus (1993 – 2003) Glafcos Clerides.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sigmalive.com/en/news/local/146488/larnaca-airport-becomes-glafcos-clerides-airport|title=Larnaca Airport becomes Glafcos Clerides Airport - News|last=SigmaLive|website=www.sigmalive.com|access-date=16 December 2018|archive-date=16 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181216210807/http://www.sigmalive.com/en/news/local/146488/larnaca-airport-becomes-glafcos-clerides-airport|url-status=live}}</ref>

==History==
Larnaca Airport was hastily developed towards the end of 1974 after the invasion of Cyprus by Turkey on 20 July of the same year,<ref name="Opened">{{cite web|url=http://www.larnacaairport.co|title=Larnaca Airport|website=larnacaairport.co|access-date=15 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161028054718/http://www.larnacaairport.co/|archive-date=28 October 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> which forced the closure of the Nicosia International Airport. The site on which it was built (near the Larnaca Salt Lake) had been previously used as an airfield<ref>{{cite web |last=Efremov |first=Alexey |date=2020-08-28 |title=Airports in Cyprus |url=https://dom.com.cy/en/live/blog/cyprus-where-the-plane-can-land-here-edited-insert-illustrations/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220808160331/https://dom.com.cy/en/live/blog/cyprus-where-the-plane-can-land-here-edited-insert-illustrations/ |archive-date=8 August 2022 |access-date=8 August 2022 |website=Dom Live}}</ref> in the 1930s and, subsequently, as a military installation by British forces. Larnaca International opened on 8 February 1975, with only limited infrastructure facilities and a prefabricated set of buildings comprising separate halls for departures and arrivals. The first airlines to use the new airport were Cyprus Airways, using [[Engineering:Vickers Viscount|Viscount 800s]] leased from British Midland, and Olympic Airways, using [[Engineering:NAMC YS-11|NAMC YS-11]]s. Initially, the runway at Larnaca International was too short for jet aircraft.<ref name="cyprus.trellows.com">{{cite web |last=Antoniou |first=Anthony |title=The old Larnaca Airport |url=https://cyprus.trellows.com/the-old-larnaca-airport/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230129034356/https://cyprus.trellows.com/the-old-larnaca-airport/ |archive-date=2023-01-29 |access-date=2023-01-28 |website=Trellows|date=22 October 2021 }}</ref>

==Operations==
The status of Cyprus as a major tourist destination means that air traffic has steadily risen to over 5 million passengers a year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.skyscanner.co.in/airports/lca/larnaca-airport.html|title=Handy Larnaca airport information from Skyscanner.|website=Skyscanner.co.in|access-date=15 November 2017|archive-date=15 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115222008/https://www.skyscanner.co.in/airports/lca/larnaca-airport.html|url-status=live}}</ref> This is double the capacity the airport was first designed for. For this reason, a tender was put out in 1998 to develop the airport further and increase its capacity ''(see below)''. Already completed elements of the expansion include a new control tower, fire station, runway extension, and additional administrative offices. The surrounding road network was improved by upgrading the B4 road; a new junction has been constructed near the new terminal. The new terminal was built some {{convert|500|-|700|m|abbr=on}} west of the old terminal, adjacent to the new control tower, with new aprons and jetways. The old terminal building is slated to be partially demolished and refurbished as a cargo centre, and is currently used as a private terminal for visiting heads of state, other VIPs, and private aircraft operators.<ref name="cyprus.trellows.com"/>

The airport's geographic location in-between [[Earth:Europe|Europe]], [[Earth:Africa|Africa]], {{wipe|Russia}} and the [[Place:Middle East|Middle East]] facilitates it as an airline hub for traffic and flight operations between these locations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.europe-airports.com/cyprus/show-airport.php?code=LCA|title=Larnaca Airport, Cyprus (LCA) - Guide & Flights|website=Europe-airports.com|access-date=15 November 2017|archive-date=16 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116084315/https://www.europe-airports.com/cyprus/show-airport.php?code=LCA|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.financialmirror.com/2009/10/30/regional-airlines-eye-new-cyprus-airport-at-larnaca-as-a-new-hub/|title=Regional airlines eye new Cyprus airport at Larnaca as a new hub |website=Financial Mirror |date= 30 October 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyprusprofile.com/en/articles/view/new-airlines-and-flights-to-larnaca-airport|title=New airlines and flights to Larnaca Airport - Cyprus Profile|website=Cyprusprofile.com|access-date=15 November 2017|archive-date=15 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115225601/http://www.cyprusprofile.com/en/articles/view/new-airlines-and-flights-to-larnaca-airport|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.world-airport-codes.com/cyprus/larnaca-international-3987.html|title=Larnaca International - Cyprus|website=World-airport-codes.com|access-date=15 November 2017|archive-date=7 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170807134111/https://www.world-airport-codes.com/cyprus/larnaca-international-3987.html|url-status=live}}</ref> It currently holds domestic, regional and international passenger and cargo services by over 50 airlines.<ref>{{cite web |title=Search – airlines | work= Hermes Airports |url=https://www.hermesairports.com/search?q=airlines |access-date=2023-01-30 |language=en-us}}</ref> Notably, Gulf Air used to provide a non-stop service to New York-JFK twice a week.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/11/travel/travel-advisory-gulf-air-and-korean-air-begin-new-us-routes.html |title=TRAVEL ADVISORY; Gulf Air and Korean Air Begin New U.S. Routes |date=11 December 1994 |work=The New York Times |access-date=2015-01-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150105210304/http://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/11/travel/travel-advisory-gulf-air-and-korean-air-begin-new-us-routes.html |url-status=live |archive-date=2015-01-05}}</ref>

Romanian low-cost carrier Blue Air announced the closure of their Larnaca base in September 2020.<ref>{{cite web|last=Bobon|first=Gabriel|date=2020-09-03|title=Oficial: Blue Air închide în 15 septembrie 2020 baza din Larnaca|url=https://boardingpass.ro/oficial-blue-air-inchide-in-15-septembrie-2020-baza-din-larnaca/|access-date=2023-01-15|website=BoardingPass.ro|language=ro-RO}}</ref>

==Facilities==
The airport has one primary state-of-the-art passenger terminal. Departures are accommodated on the upper level, while arrivals are accommodated at the ground level. The old terminal serves as a "VIP terminal", which is used for visiting heads of state, some private aviation, and for cargo. The airport utilises a single large apron for all passenger aircraft. The concept architectural design of the passenger terminal was developed by French architects at Aéroports de Paris (ADP) with Sofréavia in France.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Larnaca International Airport (LCA/LCLK) |url=https://www.airport-technology.com/projects/larnaca-international-airport/ |access-date=2023-03-11 |website=Airport Technology |language=en-US}}</ref>

A €650 million upgrade of the Larnaca and Paphos airports was completed in 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.financialmirror.com/more_news.php?id=4135&type=news |title=Foundation stone laid at new Larnaca Airport |access-date=28 December 2006 |date=26 June 2006 |work=Financial Mirror |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061017142958/http://www.financialmirror.com/more_news.php?id=4135&type=news |archive-date=17 October 2006 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The international tender was won by Hermes Airports, a French-led group. The consortium is made up of Bouygues Batiment International (22%) Egis Projects (20%), the Cyprus Trading Corporation (a local retail group-10%), Iacovou Brothers (a local contractor-10%), Hellenic Mining (10%), Vancouver Airport Services (10%), Ireland's Dublin Airport Authority (Aer Rianta International) (10%), Charilaos Apostolides (a local construction company-5%) and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (3%). Hermes Airports built new passenger terminals and plans to extend the runways at both airports under a 25-year concession.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://cyprus-mail.com/2021/07/27/hermes-said-in-violation-of-concession-if-airports-not-expanded/ | title=Hermes said in violation of concession if airports not expanded &#124; Cyprus Mail | date=27 July 2021 | access-date=26 June 2022 | archive-date=26 June 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626122913/https://cyprus-mail.com/2021/07/27/hermes-said-in-violation-of-concession-if-airports-not-expanded/ | url-status=live }}</ref>

A new terminal building opened on 7 November 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cyprusairports.com.cy/ |title=Official Website for Larnaka & Pafos International Airports |publisher=Cyprusairports.com.cy |access-date=16 April 2011 |archive-date=26 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140526045128/http://www.cyprusairports.com.cy/showpage.php?PageID=3 |url-status=live }}</ref> It has 16 jetways (boarding bridges), 67 check-in counters, 8 self check-in kiosks, 48 departure gates, and 2,450 parking spots. The new terminal can handle 7.5 million passengers per year. Infrastructure also features a large engineering hangar, a cargo terminal, and separate facilities for fuelling and provisioning light aircraft. There is a second, smaller apron where cargo aircraft and private aircraft are often parked. There are also spaces for smaller aircraft for flying schools and privately owned aircraft separate from the main two aprons.
