Madrid's dual-use military and civilian general aviation airport.

Opened
1943
Location
Madrid, Spain
Madrid–Torrejón Airport, known by IATA code TOJ and ICAO code LETO, is a dual-use military and civil airport located approximately 15 kilometres northeast of central Madrid, Spain. It serves as Torrejón Air Base, a key installation of the Spanish Air and Space Force, while also handling civil general aviation and some charter operations. The airport has historically had close ties with NATO and the United States military, having hosted American forces during the Cold War era under bilateral defense agreements. Today it primarily functions as a military base but retains civil aviation capacity for private, business, and charter flights. Torrejón is not a major commercial passenger hub; scheduled airline services operate through nearby Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD). TOJ serves as an overflow and alternative facility and handles VIP, government, and general aviation traffic in the Madrid region.
Terminals
The airport has limited civil terminal facilities designed primarily for general aviation, business, and charter operations rather than large-scale commercial passenger traffic.
Getting to & from
The airport is accessible by road via the A-2 motorway connecting Torrejón de Ardoz to central Madrid, with no direct rail or metro link to the city centre.
Airlines here
No major scheduled commercial airlines operate from TOJ; the airport primarily serves private, charter, and government aviation operators.
