Aeropuerto de La Gomera

La Gomera Airport is located in the municipality of Alajeró and is twelve kilometers (as the crow flies) from the island's capital, San Sebastián de La Gomera. The shortest road connection is 33 kilometers long.

La Gomera Airport has one runway and is 1,500 meters long and 30 meters wide. The airport's passenger terminal has a capacity of 300,000 passengers per year. It is equipped with two gates.

The airport serves domestic flights mainly to the neighboring island of Tenerife. There are also a few flights to Gran Canaria. The flight routes are unprofitable and are only maintained thanks to government subsidies.

The runway is too short for international flights, so most air travelers land in Tenerife. Most tourists arrive at the southern airport of Tenerife, but the flight connection to La Gomera is handled via the northern airport of Tenerife. It is therefore closer, cheaper and usually faster to get to La Gomera via the port of Los Cristianos by ferry or fast ferry.

But Heidrun wanted to go to Gran Canaria, so we took her to the airport. It really is a beautiful airport - the prettiest I have ever visited 😍.Read more
