Huesca–Pirineos Airport[4] (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Huesca-Pirineos[5]) (IATA: HSK, ICAO: LEHC), also known as Huesca Airport, is the airport serving the province of Huesca in Spain.

The airport is located 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) southeast of the city of Huesca, near the villages of Monflorite-Lascasas and Alcalá del Obispo. The airport is intended to support skiing resorts in the Aragonese Pyrenees, but the closest ski station is more than 100 kilometers away.

In 2013, 279 passengers passed through the airport, a decrease of 79.2% from 2012. Aircraft movements fell by 33.1% to 1,637.[6]

Data for 2016 indicated that passenger usage had fallen to a total of 95 for the year (49 arrivals and 46 departures), making Huesca-Pirineos the airport with the least passenger traffic in the AENA network. [7]

Airlines and destinations

In February 2011, Pyrenair ceased activities, leaving the airport without any commercial activity until Air Europa commenced a seasonal service to Menorca which since also ceased. As of January 2014 there are no scheduled services to and from Huesca.
