Overview

The airport primarily serves domestic flights, especially to Madrid, and an international service to London City has commenced as of July 2022. A scheme is in the pipeline to lengthen the runway (2008) in order to meet the requirements established to provide service for larger aircraft. Preliminary plans are still coming up against strong opposition, which has added to the economic difficulties facing the carriers using the airport, making its future all the more uncertain. Other nearby airports are Bilbao Airport (117 km by car) and Biarritz Pays Basque Airport (32 km).
