Comments

This airport is a bit of an enigma. Was based here for a year and a half. There really is no FBO or GA service. Call operations +34 937 282 110 before coming. Minimal English skills depending on who you speak to. VFR only and closes at sunset, and they're extremely strict about this. Annoyingly, parking is on one side of the field and fuel and admin are on the other. They did finally install a machine in a booth on the parking side so that you can pay landing fees without walking 20 minutes to the admin office in the control tower. You have to call operations and they send the invoice to the printer in the booth, then you pay using the machine. 20th century technology. Also most expensive fuel I've ever bought in Europe but landing fees were around 15 euro. Fuel and fees paid with Visa credit. Not sure about overnight parking but monthly was about 150 euro.
