Sobre Gran Canaria Airport

Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is the airport for the island of Gran Canaria, in Spain's Canary Islands. It stands on the Bay of Gando, on the island's east coast between Telde and Ingenio, about 19 km (12 miles) south of the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, beside the GC-1 highway that runs down the coast to the southern resorts.

Flights arrive from mainland Spain, the other Canary Islands and much of Europe. Binter Canarias and Canaryfly link Gran Canaria with Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma and the smaller islands, while Iberia, Air Europa, Vueling and Ryanair fly to Madrid and other Spanish cities. Holiday traffic comes from the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia on Jet2.com, TUI, easyJet, Ryanair, Condor and Norwegian, among others. The airport handled about 15.8 million passengers in 2025.

All flights use one terminal, divided into zones: A for inter-island flights, B and C for Spanish and Schengen flights, and D for international flights outside the Schengen area. Arrivals and baggage claim are on the ground floor.

From the airport, most travelers head south to the resorts of Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Meloneras, Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogán, about 25 to 45 km away along the GC-1, or north into Las Palmas and its Las Canteras beach.

Consejos de llegada a Gran Canaria Airport

Flights from mainland Spain, the other Canary Islands and the rest of the Schengen area arrive without passport checks. If you come from outside the Schengen area, such as the UK or Ireland, you go through passport control first, where non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System; EU citizens can use the e-gates.

Gran Canaria has one terminal, and arrivals are on the ground floor. Check the screens for your carousel in one of the two baggage claim halls, and report lost or damaged bags at your airline's handling desk before you leave the hall. Customs is inside the baggage claim halls: the Canary Islands are outside the EU VAT and customs area, so duty-free limits apply even on flights from mainland Spain.

Past customs you come out into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers and tour operator representatives wait. Car rental desks are in arrivals, the official taxi stand is outside on the ground floor, and Global buses leave from the stop on Floor 1, the departures level.

The Canary Islands are one hour behind mainland Spain, and Spain uses the euro.

Transporte terrestre

Global buses are cheap and reach both Las Palmas and the southern resorts; a taxi or pre-booked car is easier with luggage, for families and for hotels away from the bus stops.

  • Global bus to Las Palmas

    Line 60 runs between the airport and Las Palmas, with stops at San Telmo and the Santa Catalina interchange, about twice an hour during the day. Lines 1, 11 and 91 also link the airport with the city. Buses leave from the stop on Floor 1, the departures level.

  • Global bus to Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas

    Lines 66 and 90 run south to Bahía Feliz, Playa del Inglés and Faro de Maspalomas, about once an hour, and line 91 continues to Arguineguín and Puerto Rico. Line 1 runs to Puerto de Mogán. Buses stop more often than a car and run less often late in the evening.

  • Taxi from Gran Canaria airport

    Official taxis wait at the signposted taxi stand outside the terminal on the ground floor and run on the meter, with an airport supplement. Aena advises taking a taxi only from the signed stand.

  • Car rental

    Car rental desks are in the arrivals area, and the GC-1 highway runs past the airport to Las Palmas in the north and the resorts in the south.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked car meets you in the arrivals hall and drives door to door, useful for families, groups, late arrivals and the longer ride to Puerto de Mogán.

Yes. Gran Canaria Airport, code LPA, is often called Las Palmas Airport because it serves the island's capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and some travelers call it Gando Airport after the bay it stands on. It is the only commercial airport on Gran Canaria, so every flight to the island lands here.

How many terminals does Gran Canaria airport have?
