Getafe (Madrid) : introduction
An industrial and university town in Madrid’s southern suburbs, Getafe is a major aeronautical hub, home to Airbus sites, as well as a notable religious heritage around its cathedral and Cerro de los Ángeles, the geographic center of the Iberian Peninsula. As its historic airfield is a military base closed to civilian traffic, access for business aviation is via the neighboring Madrid Cuatro Vientos airport, just 8 kilometers away, dedicated to private aviation. At the gateway to the Spanish capital, Getafe offers rapid access to Madrid’s southern business districts. AEROAFFAIRES has all the information you need to reach Getafe by private jet.
