There are no airports in Cuenca. We recommend flying into Madrid and then continuing onto Cuenca from there.

There are three ways to go form Madrid to Cuenca: high speed train (AVE/ALVIA), regular trains, and buses, though the easiest is train. High speed trains and regular trains to Cuenca leave from Madrid Puerta de Atocha, the central train station in Madrid.
