Don Quijote Airport is an airport currently under construction in South Ciudad Real (Spain). When it becomes operational (in 2007) it will be the first international private airport in Spain. The investment has a budget of 1,100 million euro.

The airport will have a single runway (11/29), 4,000 m (13,123 ft) long and 60 m (197 ft) wide and will service national and international commercial flights (regular and charter). Part of the installations will be dedicated to private and sport flights, and it will have an area for maintenance, an heliport and an industrial zone of 10 km².

It will also be the first Spanish airport that will be accessed via the AVE system. Its capacity is planned for a maximum of 2 million passengers.
