Spain's aircraft storage and maintenance hub in Aragon.

Opened
2014
Location
Teruel, Spain
Teruel Airport, designated with IATA code TEV and ICAO code LETL, is located near the city of Teruel in the Aragon region of eastern Spain. The airport is particularly well known internationally as a major aircraft storage, parking, and maintenance facility, taking advantage of the region's low humidity, minimal rainfall, and over 300 days of sunshine per year — ideal conditions for preserving parked aircraft. The airport is home to TARMAC Aerosave, one of Europe's leading aircraft storage and recycling companies, which handles wide-body and narrow-body aircraft for major international carriers. While Teruel Airport holds an IATA code suggesting passenger potential, it operates primarily as an industrial and technical aviation facility rather than a conventional commercial passenger airport. The airport has capacity to store hundreds of aircraft at any given time and has seen significant activity during periods of reduced global aviation demand, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic when airlines parked fleets there en masse.
Getting to & from
The airport is located approximately 8 kilometres from the city of Teruel, accessible primarily by road via private or organised transport.
