✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport (CDT/LECH) opened in 2011 about 35 km north of Castellón de la Plana, serving Spain's Costa Azahar region. It was built to boost tourism and business access but has seen limited scheduled traffic, with operations often focused on general aviation, flight training, maintenance, and seasonal or charter services. Its single runway and compact terminal make it a quiet alternative to Valencia and Reus airports.
💡 Local Tip
The terminal is small and can be nearly empty outside flight times, so confirm your flight status and arrange onward transport before arriving; parking is generally easy and less stressful than at Valencia or Alicante.
🚖 Getting There
By road, the airport is accessed from the CV-10 or AP-7 and is signposted from Vilanova d'Alcolea and Benlloch. Taxis and pre-booked transfers are the most reliable option for Castellón de la Plana, since public bus service is infrequent. Rental cars are available, but confirm desk hours if you arrive late or on a holiday.
