The Jerez de la Frontera Airport ( Spanish Aeropuerto de Jerez , IATA code : XRY , ICAO code : LEJR ) is the international passenger airport of the Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula .

Location and transport links

The airport is located in the Andalusia region and the province of Cádiz , about ten kilometers northeast of the city center of Jerez de la Frontera. The distance to Seville is about 71 kilometers; to Cádiz 32 kilometers.

The airport can be reached via the N-IV national road and the AP-4 and A-4 motorways. The bus routes M-050, M-051, M-052, M-053, M-561, M-964, M-970 and M-971 connect the airport with Jerez de la Frontera and Cádiz . The airport has had a train station since September 2011 and is served daily by eight pairs of trains on the Seville- Cadiz regional train (line MD 65) and - at long intervals - the Cádiz S-Bahn (line C-1).

history

The airport was created in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War . Some of Franco's troops stationed in Spanish Morocco were flown to Spain in 1936 via a provisional airfield south of the city by the Condor Legion, which was not yet designated at the time . In autumn 1936, a small number of new German aircraft types were stationed at this site for test purposes. In the further course of the war, the airfield, initially called Aeródromo Haya , served as a training ground and it was not until 1946 that it was used for civilian purposes.

The air force maintained a flight school here in the 1950s for training multi-engine aircraft, and the airport was also expanded during these years.

It has also been served internationally since 1968.

The La Parra military base was home to Grupo 22 from 1962 , equipped with the 601st Naval Squadron ( 601 Escuadrón de Cooperación Aeronaval ), the group was renamed Squadron 22 ( Ala 22 ) in 1972. She was until 1978 with HU-16 - flying boats equipped (Spanish name AD.1.). In July 1973 there were three more and in 1978 four more, the latter were leased by the US Navy, P-3A maritime patrols . Ten years later, the group also took over five used P-3Bs from Norway to replace the four leased US Navy copies. The group moved to nearby Morón in 1992 . The use of the Aeropuerto de La Parra as a military airfield ended in 1993 and the airport received its current name.

Airlines and Destinations

Within Spain , Iberia fly several times a day to Madrid and Vueling to Barcelona . Both airlines fly to the airport all year round.

In seasonal traffic with Germany , Condor , Germanwings , Eurowings , TUIfly and Ryanair fly to the airport from the end of February to mid-December.

meaning

In 15 years the number of passengers has more than quadrupled from 300,000 in 1993 to 800,000 in 2000 to 1.3 million in 2008. However, the previous high of 1.6 million was already reached in the previous year, after which the number of passengers fell again to around 760,000 by 2014. Since then the number of passengers has increased again, in 2018 1,134,341 were handled. In the ranking of the airports in Andalusia, it is in third place after Málaga and Seville , ahead of Almería , Granada-Jaén and Córdoba .

The relatively high number of flight movements in relation to the passengers is due to the numerous local flight schools .
