Can I fly direct to Gran Canaria from Gibraltar, Malaga, Seville or Jerez?

Short answer

Yes, from Malaga, Seville and Jerez, all of which have flights to Gran Canaria through the year. Gibraltar's own airport has no Canaries flights.

Detailed answer

Which airports fly to Gran Canaria

  • Malaga: all year.
  • Seville: all year.
  • Jerez: all year.
  • Gibraltar: no flights; its scheduled flights go to the UK.

Gran Canaria's airport is on the east coast, between Las Palmas in the north and the resorts of Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas in the south.

What the weather is like

Average daytime highs in Las Palmas are about 21°C in January and February, 22.6°C in April, 25°C in June and 27.5°C in August (AEMET averages, 1981 to 2010). It rarely rains: about three or four days a month in winter and almost none in summer.

The sea is about 19°C in February and March and 23.4°C in September and October.

The Canaries are the warmest winter destination within a direct flight of the four airports, which is why they fill up at Christmas and February half-term.

Getting there from Gibraltar

Malaga airport is about an hour and a half by car, Jerez about an hour and a half and Seville about two hours, plus time to cross the frontier.

Aena advises arriving two hours before a flight within the Schengen area and three hours before a flight outside it.
