Development of the airport

The airport received more than 1,600,000 passengers which actually made it very necessary to carry out extensive refurbishment of the terminal and the aircraft parking areas. The actual construction started on a new terminal building, an aircraft apron, a taxi parallel to the runway. There works were completed with the extension of the car park and a famous detour on the Puerto de Rosario-Matorral, road adding some unique two kilometers of which approximately 1.5 are double lane. Fuerteventura airport taxis can be used for moving around.
Shops
Shops
There are a few shops on both levels plus car rental offices in the arrival and the departure areas but the shops are nothing special. The English newspapers are available in all the amazing resorts, some of which are printed in the canaries so they are issued on the day. Other papers are actually imported a day later.
Smoking and Duty free shops
Smoking and Duty free shops
The airport has prohibited smoking within the building apart from outside seating areas of the two cafes in the departures sections. The duty free shops in the departure area are far more expensive than the normal supermarkets.
