Lanzarote Airport (ACE)
Airport Information
(Arrecife, Lanzarote, Spain)



Although Lanzarote Arrecife Airport (ACE) is a relatively small facility by international standards, it is busy all the same, on account of it being the only air gateway into and out of the popular holiday island of Lanzarote. Located on the western side of the island's capital town Arrecife, this single, two-tiered terminal handles a large number of flights to the EU, mainland Spain and international destinations.

Lanzarote's Arrecife Airport is particularly close to Casa de Guasimeta, Las Playas, Playa del Cable, Playa Honda and Puerto Carmen. Yearly passenger figures are currently approaching six million and set to rise even further, with over 60,000 aircraft movements predicted soon.

Close to the airport, popular destinations include the Costa Teguise (north-east), La Santa (north), Playa Blanca (south-west), Parque Nacional de Timanfaya (west), San Bartolomé (north) and Yaiza (west). A variety of Spanish and internationally recognised car hire companies are also represented at Lanzarote Airport.

Lanzarote Arrecife Airport (ACE) Information: History and Facilities
During the 1930s it was decided that Lanzarote needed an aerodrome to connect neighbouring Canary Islands and mainland Spain. Many plans were made and the search for a suitable site began. In the early 1940s, a large plot along the Guacimeta coastline and close to Arrecife was chosen and in 1946, Lanzarote Arrecife Airport began serving passenger planes.

The following decades saw many improvements, to both the terminal and runway, with lighting added to the runway in the mid-1960s, allowing the airport to function at night. Many other renovations were made during the 1970s and 1980s, and more recently, a new two-storey terminal building was erected in 1999, complete with over 40 check-in desks and a number of skywalks connecting the aircraft directly.

There are four ATMs located around the terminal and one bureau de change counter. Shopping and dining options are comprehensive and passengers will find their essential needs are met more than adequately. The main stores at Lanzarote Airport include the Divers toy shop, the Relay newsagents, the Air Zone supermarket, and the Sibarium delicatessen, where a range of traditional Canary Island food can be purchased.

Situated within the boarding area of Lanzarote Airport, Café-Café, Cafeteria Meda's and Caffé Ritazza all feature a selection of sandwiches, baguettes, pastries and cakes. An outlet of the Häagen Dazs ice-cream parlour is also nearby. The Occidental Grand Teguise Playa Hotel Lanzarote is a short drive away from the airport and offers a good selection of facilities for business people.

Lanzarote Arrecife Airport (ACE) Information: About Lanzarote Tourism
Lanzarote is a popular holiday destination and the most easterly of Spain's famous Canary Islands, known for its golden beaches, unusual volcanic landscape and busy tourist resorts. Attractions on the island include La Cueva de los Verdes, part of a system of spectacular underground grottoes that were formed by volcanic eruptions. The island's national park is known for its moon-like terrain, being the result of lava flow. Puerto del Carmen is the island's nightlife epicentre, offering a busy but controlled environment.

While it is well developed, Lanzarote is quieter than the Balearic Islands and visitors arriving at Lanzarote Airport (ACE) should not expect the wild nightlife that is typical of Ibiza. Arrecife is the island's capital and is close to the airport itself, boasting a large natural harbour and offering convenient ferry trips to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.
