These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at aena.es, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for REU
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
REU uses Europe/Madrid (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Reus Airport is about 87 km from central Reus; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
BCN Barcelona is the closest retained alternate at 78 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
aena.es is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place REU inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
REU ranks #8 in the curated Spain airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 12 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
REU shares Europe/Madrid with AGP Málaga ES · ALC Alicante ES · BCN Barcelona ES · GRO Girona ES · MAD Madrid ES · PMI Palma de Mallorca ES. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
REU is 233 ft (71 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include CCS 234 ft (71 m) (1 ft delta) · LAE 239 ft (73 m) (6 ft delta) · PLZ 226 ft (69 m) (7 ft delta) · VLC 240 ft (73 m) (7 ft delta) · YNY 241 ft (73 m) (8 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
REU's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are BCN 78 km +0h · GRO 157 km +0h · ZAZ 193 km +0h · PMI 222 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Reus, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Barcelona is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Reus Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from REU, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
