Ercan International Airport is located in the northern part of Cyprus, near the capital city of Nicosia. However, it is not recognized as an international airport by most countries due to the political situation on the island, and as a result, there are limited international flights operating from Ercan.
The airport primarily serves domestic flights within Northern Cyprus, as well as flights to and from Turkey and a few other destinations in the Middle East. The airport has one terminal building, which is divided into two levels: arrivals on the ground floor and departures on the upper level.
Smoking areas before the Security Check
- Smoking is only permitted outside the terminal in the designated areas

Smoking Law in Cyprus airports
In accordance with the Cyprus smoking law, smoking is prohibited in all enclosed public spaces, including airports. Therefore, there are no designated smoking areas within the terminal buildings at Larnaca International Airport and Paphos International Airport.
However, there are designated smoking areas located outside the terminal buildings, where smokers can go to smoke before or after their flights. These smoking areas are typically located in designated outdoor areas and are clearly signposted.
It is important to note that smoking is strictly prohibited in all other areas of the airports, including the parking lots, shuttle bus stops, and near the entrances to the terminal buildings. Violators of the smoking ban may face fines and other penalties.
Passengers who need to smoke before their flight are advised to do so in the designated smoking areas outside the terminal building.
