It is known as Menorca Airport because there is only one in the whole island and this is in the municipality of Mahón. For this reason its IATA code takes the first letters of this city MAH. Menorca Airport is located southeast of the island and southwest of the capital of Mahón, on the road that connects Mahón with San Clemente. The indications are clear and it is very easy to arrive. The Menorca Airport is only 5km from the center of the capital, so the journey by car does not last more than 10 min, although from Ownerscars we recommend going at least one hour before the departure of the flight since the airport is not very large and in summer you can concentrate crowds at the check-in counters.
