## Description

RGS is one of those airport codes that rarely appears on an air waybill. Burgos Airport (ICAO: LEBG), operated by Aena in the Villafría district a few kilometres north-east of the Castilian cathedral city, handled 17,687 passengers in 2019 and today mainly serves business aviation, flight training and occasional charters. There is no cargo terminal, no documented freighter service and no permanent air-freight customs desk; with almost no scheduled passenger flights, belly cargo capacity is effectively absent. Shippers in Burgos therefore truck their air freight to larger gateways: Vitoria-Foronda (VIT), roughly 120 kilometres north, is northern Spain's principal freighter airport, Bilbao (BIO) covers the Atlantic corridor, and Madrid-Barajas (MAD), some 240 kilometres south, offers by far the widest intercontinental and belly-cargo choice. Road feeder services run over the AP-1 and A-1 motorways, putting Madrid within about two and a half hours by truck. Burgos itself is a notable automotive-supplier and food-processing location, so time-critical consignments from the province are usually consolidated into trucking runs to VIT or MAD rather than flown out locally. For consignments with a seaport leg, Bilbao adds a multimodal option.
