Ercan will be islands' 'dominant airport'

Cyprus Today (Jan 3-9)

North Cyprus's "inadequate" Ercan Airport is set for a 40 million euro revamp as the TRNC government looks to offload it to the private sector.
It is drawing up plans with an international consortium to map out the future of Ercan, which celebrates its 33rd anniversary as the main air gateway into North Cyprus on February 3rd.
It hopes that Ercan will become the most efficient airport in the whole of Cyprus, despite multi million euro upgrades of both Larnaca and Paphos.
"We are considering new areas such as a new runway, apron, terminal building and shopping centres" commented Salih Usar, Public Works and Transportation Minister.
