Minorca Airport or Mahon Airport (IATA: MAHICAO: LEMH) is the airport serving the Balearic island of Minorca in the Mediterranean Sea, near the coast of Spain. The airport was opened on March 24, 1969 when all civilian services were transferred from the neighbouring San Luis Airport. It has a single terminal building, with 11 gates, none of which are linked by a jetway, and in the year to June 2006 it had handled 961,695 passengers and 12,870 movements. In total, the airport serves 35 cities and 36 airports in 4 countries (on scheduled flights). Receiving operations from 48 airlines (of which 20 are scheduled operators (at July 2006).

On 14 September 2006 a partial roof collapse occurred in the new part of the terminal undergoing construction work. The collapse may have been caused by a build-up of heavy rain water. The debris temporarily trapped 20 and injured three workers.[1] [2]
