Gateway to Graciosa, the smallest inhabited Azores island.

Opened
1982
Location
Santa Cruz da Graciosa, Portugal
Graciosa Airport is a small regional airport serving the island of Graciosa in the Azores archipelago, an autonomous region of Portugal. It connects the island to other parts of the Azores and to mainland Portugal, playing a vital role in the mobility of the island's small resident population. The airport is operated by ANA – Aeroportos de Portugal, the national airport authority that manages all airports across the Azores. Given the island's modest size and population of a few thousand residents, passenger volumes remain low compared to larger Azorean hubs such as Ponta Delgada or Terceira. Graciosa is known for its tranquil landscape, UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve status, and traditional windmills. The airport supports tourism and essential inter-island connectivity for this relatively remote and peaceful destination.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building handling all arriving and departing passengers.
Getting to & from
Taxis and rental cars are available at the airport for transport into Santa Cruz da Graciosa and other parts of the island.
