Fly Wonderful Islands - get that sunny holiday feeling by flying in the Canaries!
Accurately modelled in high detail, Gran Canaria International airport is transformed from the barren default offering in FSX to a realistic and appealing airport.
The airport is located on Gran Canarias Island, Spain, and was formerly known as Gando Airport. It opened on April 7, 1930, after King Alfonso XIII signed a royal order announcing that the military air force installations on the Bay of Gando would become a civilian airfield. It has since become the largest gateway into the Canary Islands, as well as being the largest in terms of passenger and cargo operations. It is the fifth largest airport in Spain.
This is the largest airport in the Canary Islands and the only airport in the islands with two runways, allowing it to have up to 53 landings and take-offs per hour. There is one terminal on three floors (Arrivals on the ground floor, Departureson the first) and Arrivals and Departures are divided into three areas: European Union (A), International (B) and Inter-Island (C).
The airport is the gateway to the holiday island of Gran Canaria, famous for the tourist resorts of Playa del Ingles, Maspalomas and Puerto Rico, all of which are on the south coast. Gran Canaria airport is a hub for Binter Canarias Airlines and is an alternative landing site for the Space Shuttle.
