Airport in Puerto del Rosario
Fuerteventura Airport (IATA :FUE ,ICAO :GCFV ), also known asEl Matorral Airport , is an airport serving the Spanish island ofFuerteventura . It is situated in El Matorral, 5 km (3 mi) southwest[ 2] [ 3] Puerto del Rosario . The airport has flight connections to over 80 destinations worldwide, and over 5.6 million passengers passed through it in 2019.[ 1]
The airport has one terminal building with two floors. The ground floor has two sections; one section is for flight arrivals and the other for flight departures. The first floor has the departures lounge and 24 boarding gates. In total, the terminal covers over 92,000 m2 and it has the capacity to handle 8.2 million passengers per year.[ 4]
The airport was opened officially on 14 September 1969.[citation needed
In 1973, El Matorral Airport began to operate its first flights to European countries with the airlineCondor , which linked the German city ofDüsseldorf directly withPuerto del Rosario .[citation needed
Development since the 1990s [ edit ] In 1994, construction started on a new terminal building, an aircraft apron, a taxiway parallel to the runway, a power plant and a new access road. The works were completed with the extension of the car park and a detour on the Puerto de Rosario–Matorral road adding some two kilometres, of which 1.5 are double lane. With the new facilities it was possible to handle around five million passengers a year and manage around 3,100 passengers per hour at peak periods.[ 5]
