Las Palmas

Gran Canaria Airport (aka Gando Airport)
[LPA/GCLP]

The airport is located in the eastern part of Gran Canaria on the Bay of Gando (Bahía de Gando), 19 km to the south of Las Palmas, and 25 km from the popular tourist areas in the south.

The airport opened on 7 April 1930, after King Alfonso XIII signed a royal order announcing that the military air force installations on the Bay of Gando would become a civilian airfield. In its existence, the airport has become the largest gateway into the Canary Islands,
as well as the largest in terms of passenger and cargo operations.
