San Sebastián Airport guide

San Sebastián Airport sits in the municipality of Hondarribia, on the Spanish side of the French border, with a single asphalt runway (04/22) of about 1,750 metres. The small single-level terminal has six check-in counters, six boarding gates where passengers walk to the aircraft, and two baggage reclaim belts. It opened to civil traffic on 29 August 1955.

The airport handled 472,666 passengers and 6,482 aircraft movements in 2025. Traffic is mostly domestic, led by the Madrid route, with a smaller international share of about 16,600 passengers. Iberia, Vueling, Volotea, Binter Canarias and British Airways serve it.

The short runway limits the size of aircraft that can land, and proposals to lengthen it have drawn strong local opposition. Biarritz Pays Basque Airport lies 32 kilometres away across the border, and Bilbao Airport is 117 kilometres by road. Lurraldebus line BI01 links the airport with the San Sebastián bus station.
