A new airport in Paphos was inaugurated in November 2008 increasing arrival capacity up to 1.8 million passengers in 2011. The new airport in Larnaca began its operations in late 2009, increasing arrival capacity up to 5.5 million passengers in 2011. One can be in London, Moscow or Dubai in about four hours from Cyprus!With shipping accounting to 5% of the GDP of Cyprus, ports and shipping terminals are critical components of this contribution.
Shipping
Cyprus has one deep-sea port in Lemesos which expands over 1.3 square kilometers. Operations have begun to also transform the Larnaca port into the second deep-sea port on the island. There is also a shipping terminal at Vasilikos, close to Lemesos. Given its location and infrastructure, Cyprus welcomes investment to strengthen capacity and growth in logistics.
Telecommunications
Considerable investment has been made into transforming the island into a telecommunications hub for the region. Cyprus is connected to a number of advanced technology submarine cables which provide excellent connectivity to Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In addition, seven satellite earth stations provide further satellite telecommunications connectivity making it easy for companies to locate here and be connected globally through an advanced and reliable communications network.
