Gateway to Portugal's smallest and most remote island.

Opened
1983
Location
Corvo, Portugal
Corvo Airport (IATA: CVU, ICAO: LPCR) is a small regional airport serving Corvo, the smallest and most northerly island of the Azores archipelago in Portugal. The airport provides the island's only air link to the outside world, connecting Corvo primarily with the neighboring island of Flores. The airport features a single short runway and minimal facilities, reflecting the island's tiny permanent population of fewer than 500 residents. Operations are limited in scope, with intra-archipelago flights handled by regional carriers. Due to Corvo's remote location and small size, the airport plays a critical role in supplying the island and enabling residents and visitors to travel efficiently, as ferry connections can be unreliable due to Atlantic weather conditions.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building with basic passenger facilities suited to its low traffic volumes.
Getting to & from
The airport is located close to the island's only village, Vila do Corvo, and is accessible by road within a short drive.
Airlines here
SATA Air Açores (Azores Airlines regional operations) provides scheduled service connecting Corvo with Flores and other Azorean islands.
