Ercan is not a Republic of Cyprus entry point
The Republic of Cyprus foreign ministry says the legal airports are Larnaca and Paphos, and that an airport in the north is not one of them.
The homepage clock is the winter offset
The English homepage prints GMT+2. On 23 September 2026, Ercan is on daylight time, UTC+3, until the clocks go back.
Use the 2023 building, not the old photos
The current terminal opened on 20 July 2023. Commons frames from 2013 and 2018 show the terminal it replaced.
