Spain: airports in numbers

Spain totals 21 large airports, 34 medium ones and 310 small fields in the open OurAirports register. The pair at the top of the table, Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) and Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC), sits 357.1 km apart in a straight line, with the second one southeast of the first. With no traffic data in the source, the "main airport" title is a declared proxy: large ahead of medium, scheduled service ahead of the rest.

The geography of Spain's fields

The country's highest airport in the register is Teruel Airport, at 1,030 m (3,380 ft); the lowest is San Javier Airport, at 3 m (11 ft). The northernmost field is Asturias Airport (Ranón), at latitude 43.56 N, and the southernmost is El Hierro Airport (El Hierro Island), at 27.81 N: 2,047.6 km separate the two extremes in a straight line. Of the 55 large and medium fields listed, 41 had scheduled service in the source's snapshot. Between the highest and the lowest field there is a 1,027 m elevation gap. The IATA codes at the top of the table: MAD, ALC, OVD, BIO, ACE, FUE, GRO, LPA.

Source and method

The size classes used for Spain (large, medium, small) come from OurAirports itself, a public domain source, snapshot of 2026-07-08, with heliports and closed fields left out of the count. Elevations arrive in feet and this site converts them to meters; every distance is haversine, in a straight line. Passenger traffic does not exist in the source, which is why the "main airport" title in Spain is only a declared proxy, the table order. In the world ranking by large airports, Spain sits in 10th place, next to Germany and Indonesia. The whole planet, country by country, lives in the airports of the world in numbers.
