## Description

Few airports bear an artist's signature as visibly as Lanzarote's: since 2019 the field has been named César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (IATA: ACE, ICAO: GCRR), after the painter and architect whose campaigning kept high-rise development off the island. Run by Aena, the airport counted around 8.7 million passengers in 2024, mostly holiday traffic from Britain, Germany and mainland Spain; Binter Canarias and Canaryfly serve the neighbouring islands from a separate Terminal 2. For forwarders the division of labour is clear-cut: commercial airfreight is not handled on Lanzarote — the island is supplied through Los Mármoles port in Arrecife. Of the roughly 33,000 tonnes of air cargo moving through the Canary archipelago in 2024, the lion's share runs via Gran Canaria, where the express operators base their island stations; Lanzarote shipments connect there by inter-island feeder or ship. Urgent imports therefore typically arrive with a day's delay. The airport sits five kilometres southwest of Arrecife on the LZ-2 expressway, its runway ending just short of Playa Honda beach.
