A total of 11 electronic gates were installed at two airports on the island: 4 in Larnaca and 7 in Paphos. First of all, this innovation will make life easier for those who travel light: passengers without luggage will just need to scan their boarding pass, and pass to passport control. Use the service can up to 1800 people per hour.
Thus, the management of Hermes Airports plans to reduce queues at the check-in counters.
Recall that this year Cyprus several times broke last year’s records on the number of tourists who visited the island. On average, for the first half of the year, tourist traffic increased by 17%.
