RAF Akrotiri is coping with 2,000 passengers every week as the handover from Op Herrick 14 to 15 continues. Up to 2,000 passengers pass through RAF Akrotiri every week. From dependants and civil servants flying back for the half term break to personnel coming to and from theatre, the airbase is busy 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Strategically, it acts as a forward mounting base for operations in Afghanistan and more recently over Libya.
