Vigo Airport is an airport (IATA: VGO, ICAO: LEVX) 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre of Vigo and 28 km from the centre of Pontevedra (the capital of this province), and is situated in the municipalities of Redondela, Vigo and Mos, in the Province of Pontevedra, Spain.
By 1927, the Spanish Government became aware of the necessity of having a customs airport in Galicia. Initially, the harbour of Vigo was equipped for seaplanes and a "maritime airport" was built and started operations at nearby Cesantes beach in March 1929; meanwhile the construction of a larger inland airport at Peinador was initiated.
