Vip Terminal For Larnaca Airport
Cyprus’ legendary hospitality will by the summer be better reflected by Larnaca Airport’s new Heads of State Lounge and Executive Aviation Terminal.
Although news reports this week suggested that the state and airport operators had been scrambling to create a new VIP lounge in time for Pope Benedict XVI’s visit in early June, an industry insider yesterday told The Cyprus Weekly that the plans had been in the pipeline since before the Pope’s visit was announced.
The Council of Ministers is in the coming week expected to formalise a provisional agreement between Hermes Airports and Skylink Services Ltd, a private company with over a decade of VIP passenger handling experience at both Larnaca and Paphos Airports. The industry source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the plans did not involve a VIP lounge as such but rather a combined Heads of State Lounge and Executive Aviation Terminal, to be housed within the old airport building.
An official close to the project, meanwhile, told reports that Skylink will be responsible for renovating the space to presidential standards and creating an area for media statements by dignitaries, a waiting area for reporters and offices for the police , civil aviation and Customs officials. The company will also be expected to provide all VIP services including maintaining the Lounge and Terminal and transferring VIPs to and from their planes.
