Lanzarote Aeronautical Museum

The Lanzarote Aeronautical Museum is an aviation museum located next to the airport that displays aircraft models, historical equipment, and technological exhibits. The collection documents the development of air travel in the Canary Islands across different time periods.

The museum preserves the history of 1946, when the first commercial flight arrived on Lanzarote, marking the end of the island's isolation. This event marked the beginning of a new era for the local community.

The exhibits show how air travel transformed Lanzarote from an isolated island into a connected travel destination and opened new routes to other islands and the mainland. Visitors can see how this development changed daily life and the island's economy.

The museum sits directly beside the airport and is easy to reach if you are in that area. Visitors should note that it operates on limited hours and guided tours can be arranged for groups.

Visitors can climb to the former control tower cabin on the upper floor, where they overlook the runway and surrounding landscape. This vantage point offers a rare view of how an airfield operates.
