Latest comments on airports in Madrid, Spain

Reply to @pak21: The 2008 ICAO publication doesn't list any corresponding IATA code for this airport, so I've deleted it. Thanks for catching it.

How sure are we about the IATA code here? Most sources seem to give MCV as being McArthur River Mine Airport, Australia.

On August 20, 2008, an MD-82 jet crashed immediately after takeoff from runway 36L and caught fire, killing at least 153 of the 172 people on board. It was bound for Gran Canaria Airport (LPA):

This airport has two ICAO codes: LEVS as a military airport, and LECU as a civilian airport.
