Once a fashionable stop between Europe and the Middle East, Nicosia International featured high-end lounges, transit hotels, and the latest in 1960s terminal design. Civil war split the island in 1974, freezing the airport inside a militarized UN buffer zone. Jetways still cling to terminal walls, crumbling in the heat. Flying in evokes the surreal sense of modern aviation intruding on a lost chapter of Cold War history.
Aircraft Suitability: Technically airliner-capable, but best suited for bizjets or props due to deteriorated surface. Extra Challenge: Land without using GPS or glass cockpit navigation.
