Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) is the main gateway to Fuerteventura in Spain’s Canary Islands, located at El Matorral just south of the capital, Puerto del Rosario. Opened in 1969 and later modernized, it serves as a key arrival point for European sun-seekers heading to the island’s beaches, dunes, and windsurfing spots. Its single terminal handles both domestic Canary Islands flights and a large volume of international charter and low-cost traffic.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to pre-book a rental car or shuttle for late arrivals: the public bus service from FUE winds down in the evening, and taxis can be scarce when multiple flights land at once.
🚖 Getting There
Public Tiadhe buses stop outside the terminal and are the cheapest option, but schedules are limited on weekends and public holidays. Taxis are readily available and metered; expect about 10 minutes to Puerto del Rosario and 15 minutes to Caleta de Fuste. Rental cars are a popular choice, with desks in the arrivals hall and a short walk to the parking lot.
