Location

Corvo, Portugal

Corvo Airport (IATA: CVU, ICAO: LPCR) serves Corvo, the smallest and northernmost island of the Azores archipelago in Portugal. The airport provides the only air link for the island's small population of roughly 400 residents, making it essential for access to essential services and transport connections. The airport operates a short runway suited to small turboprop aircraft, reflecting the island's limited size and terrain. It is managed by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, the national airport authority responsible for all Azorean airports. Due to Corvo's remote location and small size, flight services are limited primarily to inter-island connections, with SATA Air Açores (Azores Airlines) providing scheduled regional service.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building appropriate for the island's minimal passenger volumes.

Getting to & from

Given Corvo's tiny size, the airport is within easy reach of the island's only village, Vila do Corvo, with limited local taxi or vehicle transport available.

Airlines here

SATA Air Açores (operating under the Azores Airlines brand) is the primary and likely sole airline serving the airport with inter-island flights.
