A little history

The first Gran Canaria Las Palmas arrivals took place in 1930. This quickly became the main airport of arrivals at the Canary Islands. A new terminal was opened in 1946 and a runway a few years later. It was not until two decades later that improvements were made to accommodate the growth of Las Palmas airport arrivals. The current terminal as it is today was built in 1973 with a second runway 7 years later. Because the airport became more and more modern and expanded, more and more routes and flights were introduced. Binter Canarias and Ryanair decided to have a base there. This resulted in an even greater growth in Gran Canaria Airport arrivals.
