The airport also lies only five kilometers from the capital city of Lanzarote, known as Arrecife, which is just to the north. Access for motorists is provided by the major LZ-2 highway, which leads directly to the airport, and to Arrecife. This road also heads further southwest, towards the popular holiday resort areas of Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca. Puerto del Carmen is about a fifteen-minute drive away, while Playa Blanca is about a forty-five minute drive away. To the north is the Costa Teguise, another popular tourist area.

Ryanair will now offer 112 routes from the Canaries, of which 35 will be new, and is expected to carry 4.5 million passengers per year to and from the islands. This will effectively restore the loss in traffic experienced by many of the islands over the past few years. New routes will be to Eindhoven, Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, Knock and Leeds/Bradford. Other destinations offered by Ryanair include Birmingham, Liverpool, London Stansted, Milan-Orio al Serio, Edinburgh, Dublin and East Midlands.
