Airport history and connections 

It was in 1930, when it was decided that it was finally necessary to build an airfield on the island of Lanzarote, for them one was carried out in the Llanos de Guacimeta. and it was not until 1946 when Civilian transit was allowed. Reforms were carried out and a new passenger terminal was created.  The Arrecife Airport, whose official name is Aeropuerto César Manrique - Lanzarote is located in the centre of Lanzarote, in the municipality of San Bartolomé and five kilometres from Arrecife. 

This airport although compared to others may seem small moves about 8 million passengers approximately every year, having only one runway of 2,500 meters, 2 passenger terminals and only 17 boarding gates.  It has excellent air connections that adapt to all possibilities.
