LARNACA AIRPORT - CHAOS, OVERCROWDING, DELAYS - Filenews 10/7
Chaos, queues and intense indignation are reported by passengers who were at Larnaca Airport on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 8, 2026, describing conditions of intense overcrowding and long waits. Among the testimonies, that of a mother who was traveling alone with her 18-month-old child stands out, who claims that she had to stay upright for about two and a half hours, facing successive queues from stroller control to passport control, as a result of which she was in danger of missing her flight.
The complaints speak of inadequate staffing, difficulties in serving families with young children, high temperatures and images of suffocating overcrowding, while passengers are asking for answers from the authorities and measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
