Lanzarote Airport is a Spanish airport, located about 5 kilometers from the center of Arrecife on the Canary island of Lanzarote. The airport is also known as Guacimeta, from the historical name of the region. The history of the airport dates back to 1936, but civil flights started just after the Second World War, in 1946.

Currently, the airport has two terminals - T1 serves domestic and international flights, and T2, which serves flights between the islands of the archipelago.

The airport serves almost 50 regular, low-cost and charter airlines, generating passenger traffic on a yearly basis of over 6.1 million, what puts them in the top ten most visited airports in Spain.
