Gateway to the Costa Daurada where sun meets ancient Catalan culture

Reus Airport, located just 3 kilometres from the city of Reus and about 12 kilometres from Tarragona, serves as a secondary gateway to the Costa Daurada region of Catalonia, Spain. Originally developed as a military airfield, it transitioned to civilian use and became a popular seasonal hub for charter and low-cost carriers connecting European tourists to the beaches and Roman heritage of southern Catalonia. Its compact size and straightforward layout make it one of the more manageable regional airports in Spain.

Traveller Tips
  • Book ground transport in advance during summer peak season as taxis can be scarce after large charter arrivals.
  • The airport has limited retail and dining options, so arrive fed if you have specific dietary needs.
  • PortAventura World theme park is only about 10 minutes by car from the airport — a convenient first or last stop.
  • Check seasonal schedules carefully, as many routes operate only during the spring-to-autumn tourist season.
