Nearly four million passengers per year pass through Fuerteventura, one of the busiest of the Canary Islands airports. The two-level terminal is located only five kilometers from the capital city of Puerto del Rosario, and is convenient to every part of Fuerteventura island, the second-largest of the Canary Islands at 98 kilometres long by 30 kilometres wide.
