Cyprus' new Larnaka International Airport is scheduled to officially open on 07-Nov-2009 and commence operations on 10-Nov-2009 (Financial Mirror, 13-Oct-2009). Hermes Airports assumed management and control of Larnaka and Pafos airports under a 25-year build-operate-transfer concession agreement with the Cyprus Government, signed in May-2006. The Cyprus Civil Aviation Department, which previous oversaw the management of the airports, will act as the regulatory and supervisory authority, responsible for the monitoring and control of all authorities active within the airports.
