Malaga
Airport
Guide
Malaga Airport, also known as Pablo Ruiz Picasso Airport is one of the busiest
Airports in Spain. It handled nearly 13 million passengers and
operated 119,807 flights in 2008. The Airport has two interconnected
terminals with 90% of its passengers arriving at Terminal 2. A
third terminal is due to open this year, as well as a second runway
in 2010.
Malaga Airport is located only 8 km from the city centre of Malaga
and only 5 km north of Torremolinos and boasts excellent communication
links to the whole of the Costa del Sol. For those of you arriving,
you will find the usual forms of onward transportation, to be
expected at a major airport, that is: trains, buses and taxis.
For those of you travelling to depart from the airport, It is
quite normal for construction work to be underway on the route
to and
from the airport, so it is always wise to leave sufficient
time for the journey.
Malaga Airport (AGP) is serviced by flights from over 120 airports
around the world. Of those airports there are 17 in Spain
alone and 23 emanating from the UK.
Malaga Airport is probably the most highly used airport for
people flying to the popular town of Marbella. Even though
Marbella
is about the same distance from Gibraltar, the choice of
flights from
Jerez Airport is very limited.
