Major Spanish airport to reopen after closing for a month with all flights cancelled

All flights were cancelled during the monthlong closure, which affected more than 3.6 million annual passengers, airport officials said.

  • After a month-long closure, Castro Airport is set to reopen on May 27, ending runway renovations that halted all air traffic since April 23.
  • This month-long closure forced the cancellation of all flights, significantly affecting thousands of Brits who typically travel through the Spanish Airport annually.
  • Around 30 flights operate weekly from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, and Manchester, involving British Airways, Ryanair, and Vueling, serving more than 3.6 million annual travelers.
  • Travelers seeking alternatives during the closure have relied on Vigo Airport, located 100 km away, as the primary option for those visiting Spain.
  • Airlines advise passengers: "We recommend contacting your airline" regarding flight status, schedule changes, or possible rebooking as the facility prepares to resume operations next week.
