Location

Hondarribia, Spain

San Sebastián Airport (EAS/LESO), officially known as Fuenterrabía Airport or Aeropuerto de San Sebastián, is a small regional airport located in Hondarribia, in the Basque Country of northern Spain. It sits near the mouth of the Bidasoa River, close to the French border, and serves the city of San Sebastián (Donostia) approximately 20 kilometres to the southwest. The airport handles a modest volume of domestic traffic, primarily connecting the region to Madrid and Barcelona. Due to its short runway and surrounding topography, operations are limited and the facility cannot accommodate large wide-body aircraft. Despite its small size, the airport serves an important role for the Basque Country, a region known for its gastronomy, culture, and tourism. Passengers requiring international connections typically use Bilbao Airport (BIO), which is approximately 100 kilometres away.

Terminals

The airport has a single, compact terminal building handling all passenger departures and arrivals.

Getting to & from

Ground transport to San Sebastián city centre is available via bus services and taxis, with the journey taking approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Airlines here

Iberia Express and Air Nostrum (operating as Iberia Regional) have historically served the airport with domestic routes to Madrid and Barcelona.

›Surrounding mountains and the coastal environment make approaches operationally challenging.
›Bilbao Airport (BIO) serves as the primary international gateway for the wider Basque region.
