Jerez Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Jerez) (IATA: XRY, ICAO: LEJR), also known as La Parra Airport, is an airport located 8 km (5.0 mi) northeast of Jerez de la Frontera in Southern Spain, about 28.1 mi (45.2 km) from Cadiz.
Jerez Airport is a modern airport with the principal arrivals and departures areas on the ground floor. FTE Jerez, a large pilot training academy, is colocated at the site. Ryanair introduced regular flights between Jerez Airport and London which helped to increase passenger numbers at the airport to 1.1 million in 2004. Most visitors at the airport arrive from Germany (39%) and the UK (7%), however around 48% of all arriving passengers at Jerez Airport are on domestic flights.

I was looking for a scenery that would nicely fit into some historical domestic Spanair ops and in my research for suitable candidates I accidentally came across Justsim's Jerez. I was hesitating between this particular airport and another Spanish scenery but since Jerez appears to be a longer flight from both Madrid and Barcelona, I decided to go for it.
Man, I didn't regret it at all! What a fine little airport and how amazingly it has been recreated! Justsim are actually one of my favourites when it comes to night lighting, especially taxiway edge lights. I don't know why but they always seem to nail it, and Jerez is no exception. It delivers that unique, almost misterious atmosphere that dwells in airports, the promise of a journey into someplace else, a flight into the night.
Justsim's Jerez is a masterpiece. It's small, it's compact but it has everything. Superb volumetric grass (or undergrowth) where you most need it, without the slightest impact on performance. Then you've got the animations, loads of them, all of which are very realistically done.
I truly love the textures, especially the ground textures and that of the aprons, top quality artwork! Should I mention the whole thing perfectly blends into the ORBX FTX Global / OpenLC EU universe?
Whether you go GA flying or take your airliner for a spin, Jerez has so much to offer and Justsim have done a smashing job with the airport, bringing it to your flight simulator. Love it to bits, I am very happy with this product and I can strongly recommend it to anyone who's been looking for another Spanish airport: Jerez might not be the most popular compared to mainstream holiday destinations but it will grow on you quickly for a multitude of other reasons. Take a quick aerial sightseeing over Gibraltar, hop over to Africa, fly your passengers to Madrid or beyond, there's something for everyone.
I sincerely hope that Justsim are going to revisit Spain and consider airports such as Seville, Vigo and Zaragoza, they are sorely missing from the world of Prepar3D.
Until then, Jerez for the win! Absolutely recommended!
