Airport in Menorca, Spain
Menorca Airport (IATA :MAH ,ICAO :LEMH ;Catalan :Aeroport de Menorca ,Spanish :Aeropuerto de Menorca ), also known asMahón Menorca Airport is aninternational airport serving the island ofMenorca , one ofSpain 'sBalearic Islands in theMediterranean Sea . The airport is located 4.5 km (2.8 mi) southwest of the city ofMahón .[ 2] [ 1]
The first airfield on Menorca (San Luis Aerodrome ) was constructed in the late 1930s during theSpanish Civil War , with an 850 metre runway. During the 1940s, the airfield was often used by planes coming from the neighbouring island ofMallorca and in 1949, Spain's Ministry of Aviation agreed to make San Luis a fully civilian airfield. In August 1949, the airfield's first inaugural flight landed from Barcelona, operated byAviaco and using aBristol 170 aircraft. During the late 1950s and early 60s, the runway was extended twice in order to accommodate the largerDouglas DC-4 , which Aviaco had begun flying to San Luis. In September 1965, the airfield was officially renamed as Mahón Airport.[ 3]
By the 1960s, with the increase in passenger traffic, came the demand for a new and larger airport to be built, with a longer runway to accommodate larger aircraft. In 1967, construction began on what is now the site of the current airport and, on 24 March 1969, the new airport known as Menorca Airport was officially opened. Since then, San Luis has primarily been used bylight aircraft as a flying club.[ 3]
Throughout the 1970s and 80s, passenger traffic continued to grow and, by 1986, the airport's passenger numbers had exceeded 1 million per year. This then prompted the construction of the airport's current terminal in 1987, which opened to the public in May 1988. Due to the continual rise in passenger numbers, the airport was further expanded and refurbished several times during the 1990s and 2000s, opening in its current form in 2008.[ 3] [ 4]
On 17 April 2024, AENA released a planification for several airports to be expanded throughout the years 2027 to 2031. One of the airports referenced by AENA to be expanded was Menorca Airport.[ 5]
Menorca Airport currently has 42 check-in desks, 16 departure gates (5 with airbridges) and 6 baggage claim carousels.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 1]
