About Vigo Airport

Vigo Airport, operating under the IATA code VGO and ICAO code LEVX, is managed by Aena, Spain’s national airport authority, and has served the Galicia region for decades as a vital international link. The airport handles a broad range of aircraft categories, from light turboprops and midsize jets through to large commercial airliners, making it well-suited for diverse private charter requirements. Its 2,900-metre runway provides ample capacity for most business jets, including super-midsize and large-cabin aircraft on intercontinental sectors. Terminal facilities include customs and immigration processing for international arrivals, and private passengers benefit from an expedited, separated customs experience. The airport’s position amid Galicia’s green highlands, close to the Portuguese border, also makes it a practical alternative entry point for travellers heading to Porto or northern Portugal.
