Valencia Airport is a near sea-level field at 240 ft (73 m), positioned at 39.4892° N, 0.4810° W in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 8,858 ft / 2,700 m.

Manises is the closest retained city-time anchor at 1.5 km. ALC Alicante is the closest retained airport alternative at 134 km.
VLC is compared with ALC Alicante at 134 km, RMU Corvera at 196 km, REU Reus at 231 km, ZAZ Zaragoza at 247 km, PMI Palma de Mallorca at 276 km inside the retained Spain airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

OurAirports classifies VLC as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
VLC (LEVC) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 8.53 million passengers, operating from a near sea-level field at 240 ft (73 m).
VLC sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
VLC's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 8,858 ft / 2,700 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
ENAIRE is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for VLC.
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.
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.
VLC uses Europe/Madrid (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Valencia Airport is about 8.9 km from central Valencia; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
ALC Alicante is the closest retained alternate at 134 km, time difference +0h.
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.
These comparisons place VLC inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
VLC ranks #11 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.
VLC 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.
VLC is 240 ft (73 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include LAE 239 ft (73 m) (1 ft delta) · YNY 241 ft (73 m) (1 ft delta) · DUB 242 ft (74 m) (2 ft delta) · LAD 243 ft (74 m) (3 ft delta) · YQB 244 ft (74 m) (4 ft delta).
