La Seu d'Urgell airport, officially as Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgell or Pirineus-Andorra, is located in the municipalities of Montferrer i Castellbò and Ribera d'Urgellet in northern Spain. It is approximately 3 km south-west of la Seu d'Urgell (Alt Urgell, Catalonia), and 12 km south of Andorra.
The airport opened in 1982 but was closed to commercial traffic in 1984 and was used only by private aeroplanes until 2008, when the airport was purchased by the Catalan government and closed pending its redevelopment and reopening as a commercial airport.[1][2]
In 2008, the Institut Català del Sòl (a department of the Catalan government) bought 85% of the airport's land to create the Pirineus–Andorra airport.[2]
In 2009, a contract was awarded to Acsa Sorigué for the redevelopment work that will lead to the reopening of the airport.[3]
The airport reopened on June 4th, 2010.[4]
