Paphos International Airport – PFO

Categorized as a joint civil-military public airport, Paphos International Airport is located just four miles from Paphos, Cyprus. The airport, which goes by the code PFO, is referred to as the second-biggest airport in the country next to Larnaca International Airport. PFO serves the districts of Paphos and Limassol and houses the military airbase, Andreas Papandreou. It is owned by the government of Cyprus and operated by Hermes Airports Ltd.
