La Seu d'Urgell Airport (Andorra) routes to UK
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there are any scheduled flights between La Seu d'Urgell (Andorra) and the UK?
(it's a redeveloped airport about 30mins drive from Andorra instead of the usual 3hrs drive from Barcelona so looks very promising!)
Thanks
MrS

Over flew this about 2 weeks away and wondered what was called, from 38000 feet up it looked like an aircraft carrier with the ground dropping away sharply at each end, like Funchal without the sea not sure how long it is but would guess at 2300m ? Someone on here will know? Looks to have a lot of high ground around
Seo is 1260 m long and perched half way up a mountain. I landed there once and would not like to go anywhere near it if there is significant wind blowing or mountain wave activity. There is potential for serious turbulence and down drafts. It was built to service the ski trade to avoid the long drive from Barcelona but the roads are better now and the tunnel opened 20 years ago. CB activity in the summer is interesting too

Thanks guys, very interesting.
The airport is about 30mins drive from Andorra's main town versus I think 2 1/2 hours drive to Lleida so I would have thought it would have people clambering to get involved (I read that Andorra gets 10 million visitors per year).
Maybe the unsettled weather conditions make it too unreliable and so uneconomical for tour operators / budget airlines?
Pirineus - La Seu d'Urgell Airport | Aeroports de Catalunya - I looked on the "operators" tab but it doesn't seem to link to a page
