Lanzarote Airport

Overview

César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport is the main air gateway for Lanzarote, serving San Bartolomé and the wider island with year-round domestic and international traffic. Known by the codes ACE and GCRR, it is classed as a large airport and is an important arrival point for visitors heading to the island’s beach resorts, volcanic landscapes, and art-influenced towns. Its low elevation of 46 feet (14 m) and coastal setting mean it feels close to the sea from the moment you land, giving many travellers an immediate sense of Lanzarote’s open, sunlit scenery.

What travellers should know

For most visitors, this is a straightforward airport to use because it combines the infrastructure of a large airport with the manageable scale of an island destination. The single listed runway, 03/21, is lighted and long enough to handle the steady stream of passenger flights that connect Lanzarote with mainland Spain and other European destinations. When planning your journey, remember that local times follow the Atlantic/Canary time zone, which may differ from mainland Spain and can affect flight timing, transfers, and meeting arrangements. Travellers who need mobility or disability support should check the official assistance page in advance to understand available services before arrival or departure.
