August 10, 2025
The Republic of Cyprus plans to upgrade the 'Andreas Papandreou' airbase in Paphos in 2026 with the help of American specialists. The upgrades will include modern infrastructure and an extended runway for more military aircraft. The United States has shown interest and will contribute financially to the project. The base will remain Cypriot property, and decisions regarding its use will be made by Cyprus. This process aims to strengthen Cyprus's defense against Turkish aggression.
