F.G.L. Airport Granada-Jaén Airport guide

The airport sits between the municipalities of Chauchina and Santa Fe, on the Vega de Granada plain. It opened on 15 June 1972 and replaced the military aerodrome at Armilla as the city's commercial airport. Aena owns and runs it, and Enaire handles air navigation.

It handled 1,152,872 passengers in 2025, up 1.7% on 2024, and 24,284 aircraft movements, of which 9,390 were commercial. Most traffic is domestic, with Madrid, Barcelona and the Canary and Balearic Islands among the routes. International services include Amsterdam, Paris, London and Porto. Volotea, Vueling, Air Nostrum, Binter Canarias, Transavia and Wizz Air all fly here.

The single passenger terminal dates from the 1970s and was remodelled for the 1996 alpine skiing world championships in the nearby Sierra Nevada. An extension of about 1,185 square metres on the east side added three boarding gates and roughly 30% more capacity. The airport also serves Jaén province under a 2006 agreement with the Jaén provincial government, which is why Jaén is in its name.
