In La Palma, the gateway is La Palma Airport (SPC / GCLA), known officially as 'Santa Cruz de la Palma Airport', located 8 km south of the island capital Santa Cruz de la Palma. Its shorter runway limits large-jet operations; Gran Canaria Airport (LPA / GCLP) and Tenerife South (TFS / GCTS) are the best large-jet alternatives with 30-minute the inter-island carrier domestic connections to La Palma. a direct scheduled service flies Madrid, Abu Dhabi, and a European carrier connects La Palma to Gran Canaria, making a Madrid or Gran Canaria transit the standard routing for Gulf passengers.
