Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport, Regional airport in Vilanova d'Alcolea, Spain
Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport is a regional aerodrome in Vilanova d'Alcolea that serves passenger traffic with modern facilities. The passenger terminal spreads across multiple levels with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of aircraft operations and the surrounding countryside.
The airport began operations on December 10, 2014, following significant infrastructure investments by regional authorities. This opening marked an important milestone for air connections to the coastal region.
The terminal building features an exhibition space called Sala30 that showcases artworks from local and international artists throughout the year. This gallery adds a cultural dimension to the travel experience and reflects the region's creative community.
The airport operates regular flights to major European cities including Madrid, London, Brussels, and Bucharest, with increased frequencies during summer months. Travelers should plan to arrive with extra time during peak summer season when demand is highest.
In 2021-2022, the airport temporarily stored a number of Ukrainian aircraft that had been grounded due to geopolitical circumstances. This unusual chapter in the facility's history shows its role beyond regular flight operations.
