Jerez de la Frontera's Jerez
airport is Cadiz Province's only airport (not counting Gibraltar)
and is a viable alternative to Malaga's already congested airport.
Originally a military aerodrome
constructed in 1937 Jerez was opened to civilian domestic and tourist
traffic in 1946 and had it's first hard-surfaced runway built in
1952.
In 1968 Jerez aerodrome received
its first international air traffic and in 1969 work began on a
passenger terminal and the runway was extended to its current length
of 2,300 metres.
In 1991 Aena, the Spanish airports
authority, began renovation to bring the airport up to the standards
required by today's air travellers and to cope with the projected
doubling of traffic in the next ten years. For airlines serving
Jerez see here.
There is plenty of parking at
Jerez airport and the first half hour is free, with each subsequent
hour or part of charged at €0.86.
