Double the European Average: Cyprus Leads the Continent in Passenger Growth

Larnaca

In October 2025 Passport News reported that Cypriot airports had recorded exceptional numbers in August: growth of more than double the European average, which stood at 4.9 percent.

It was the fourth consecutive month in which the island outpaced the rest of Europe in passenger growth. The explanation is unglamorous and reliable: a widening supply of seats, a denser flight schedule and competitive fares.

Growth of more than double the European average.

For travellers this translates into more options and better prices. For the island it means entering the winter season in a strong position, as a gateway between the Middle East and Europe, which is the position we have been building around since the beginning.
