Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) serves Las Palmas as the island’s main international gateway, handling a mix of scheduled long-haul, European network and low-cost carriers — think legacy airlines and budget operators on seasonal routes. Located about 20–25 km south of Las Palmas city centre, transfer times are typically 20–35 minutes by car depending on traffic; public buses (routes 60/90) take roughly 30–50 minutes with low fares, while taxis and airport shuttles are quicker but cost more. The airport is convenient for onward island connections and package-holiday arrivals, though it can be busy in peak season; travellers usually find good facilities but occasional queues at security and check‑in.

Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International (NKC) is Mauritania’s primary international gateway and typically handles the country’s scheduled long-haul and regional flights, often served by Air Mauritania, Royal Air Maroc and occasional European carriers. It’s positioned about 25–30 km east of downtown Nouakchott, with road transfers usually taking 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; shared taxis and private shuttles are common, while car hires can take around 30–40 minutes and may incur modest fees. The airport can be more comfortable than smaller regional fields, though facilities are relatively basic compared with major hubs. Pros: direct international connections and straightforward transfer options. Cons: distances to the city, limited public transport frequency and fewer airline choices than larger African hubs.
