The redesign project which begun in 2019 and lasted for 20 months, foresaw the creation of 11 upgraded retail concepts and 11 food and beverage concepts. The new, modern commercial areas offer improved passenger flow, while they were designed with an aim to contribute in increasing passenger numbers, as well as improving the overall travel experience. Concurrently, the arrival of new brands in the retail and food and beverage stores will satisfy a wide range of passengers offering a unique travel experience.

The areas, with a total range of 6731 m2, incorporate in their design, elements and details from the culture, and architecture of Cyprus, which is part of the wider ‘Sense of Place’ project which is materialised for years at Larnaca and Paphos Airports. At the entrance of the commercial areas the new artwork of Maria Loizidou named ‘Volant Migrants’, gives a taste of what the passengers will see within the new areas.

The general manager, Cyprus Airports F&B, Odysseas Georgiou, stated, “In the new food and beverage areas we have made use of successful concepts while we have included new brands in our product offering. We also have live food preparation from cuisines across the world, which cover all the dietary requirements and preferences of the passengers, while we have created completely new concepts which offer an authentic taste from the Cyprus cuisine”.
