Location

Alajero, Spain

La Gomera Airport (IATA: GMZ, ICAO: GCGM) is a small regional airport located near Alajero in the southern part of La Gomera, one of Spain's Canary Islands. It serves as the primary air link for the island, which is otherwise accessible mainly by ferry from Tenerife. The airport has a single short runway that limits operations to smaller turboprop and regional jet aircraft. Due to the island's mountainous terrain and the runway's dimensions, flight operations require specific pilot qualifications and present unique challenges. La Gomera is a relatively small and less-touristed island compared to neighbors like Tenerife and Gran Canaria, so the airport sees limited but steady traffic, primarily connecting the island to Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building designed to handle the modest passenger volumes typical of a small regional island airport.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options from the airport include taxis and rental cars, with bus services connecting to the main town of San Sebastián de La Gomera.
