Up to now there were only a few flight connections to Granada. The Spanish company AVIACO usually offers two to three flights daily, connecting Granada with Madrid and Barcelona typically in the morning and evening. This limited offer sometimes made it difficult to travel to Granada without long stopovers. An alternative used by many visitors to the 30m telescope was a flight to Malaga.
Two additional airlines have now announced direct flights from and to
Granada from various destinations in Spain and Europe. Starting
November 1 
, the Spanish airline Air Europa will offer 19
flights per week connecting Granada with a number of cities throughout
Spain and Europe. Additional flights to Barcelona and Madrid (the
latter ones starting at a later date, however) will be available. From
November 7 
, the German company LTU will offer a direct flight
Düsseldorf - Granada once a week on Thursdays. Please contact your
travel agent for details about these new flights.
