Taxi drivers in Paphos are threatening to take dynamic action if what they refer to as illegal drivers, are not dealt with.They say that overseas permanent residents of the town are using their private vehicles to transport tourists to and from Paphos airport and this is resulting in them losing business.They are saying their income has dropped steeply due to this factor.

The drivers are also angry that colleagues based in other towns such as Limassol and Nicosia are collecting people from Paphos airport, and so taking away the local drivers trade. Meanwhile, a police spokesman said that Paphos officers have charged foreign resident drivers who are providing a service to and from the airport for money, and the matter is being dealt with.
