## Description

NATO's Tactical Leadership Programme, not freight, is what puts Albacete (IATA: ABC, ICAO: LEAB) on the aviation map; the airport handled just 2,127 passengers in 2025. Civil operations run under Aena but share the runway and apron with Los Llanos Air Base, home to the Spanish Air and Space Force's Ala 14 and its Eurofighter Typhoons. There are no scheduled airline services — traffic consists of private, charter, medical and special flights. No commercial cargo terminal exists, so neither freighter nor belly-cargo capacity is available to shippers on site. Air freight from Castilla-La Mancha therefore moves by road first: Valencia Airport (VLC) is about 190 km away and is the nearest cargo option, while Madrid-Barajas (MAD), roughly 250 km distant, handles intercontinental volumes and full customs clearance. For forwarders, Albacete is a trucking origin feeding a hub rather than an air cargo station.
