Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) serves Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the island of Gran Canaria, handling over 12 million passengers annually. It is one of Spain’s busiest airports and the main hub for the Canary Islands regional carrier Binter Canarias. Located 19 km south of Las Palmas city centre, the airport provides direct access to Gran Canaria’s popular beach resorts including Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and Puerto Rico.
Year-round sun, sand and surf make Gran Canaria one of Europe’s top winter-sun destinations. TUI, Jet2, Ryanair and easyJet operate high-frequency routes from the UK and Ireland. Bus services connect the airport to Las Palmas and the southern resorts; car hire and taxis are available.
