The nearby Autopista AP-9 links the airport with A Coruña, Ferrol, Pontevedra, Vigo and the Portuguese border, and Ourense is reached by turning off the AP-9 onto the Autopista AP-53.
Public transport into town

Three regional coach services also leave the terminal for A Coruña, for the A Mariña coast and for Lugo, the last one halting several times along the Camino de Santiago’s French Way.
