The terminal at Fuerteventura Airport

Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) sits at El Matorral in the municipality of Puerto del Rosario, five kilometres from the island capital on the FTV-2 road (km 3.8). Aena says the airport at El Matorral opened officially on 14 September 1969, began work on a new terminal building, aircraft apron and parallel taxiway in 1994, and launched an expansion in 2006 that doubled its capacity to eight million passengers a year.

The airport operates from a single two-floor passenger terminal (Floor 0 and Floor 1). Check-in desks sit on the ground floor, and the arrivals area has one baggage reclaim hall with 13 carousels — including one carousel for special baggage — together with the customs service and passport control for non-Schengen flights.

Plan your stop at Fuerteventura Airport

Aena's general rule at Fuerteventura Airport is to arrive three hours before a non-Schengen flight and two hours before a domestic or Schengen flight. Most airlines let you check in online on their website or mobile app before travelling, so passengers with carry-on luggage only can go straight to the security checkpoint.

Fuerteventura Airport does not make public-address announcements about boarding gates or gate changes, so check the information screens in the terminal.
