Malaga airport is located 8km (5 miles) southwest of Malaga City and although it has 2 Terminals 99% of flights arrive at the newer and larger Terminal 2. The airport is the fourth busiest Airport in Spain and handles around 12,000,000 (12 Million) passengers per year. With a flying time of only 2 ½-3 hours from the UK and Ireland. The Costa del Sol offers the fantastic year long weather and is the perfect destination for a full holiday or long weekend break. Malaga airport parking area is doubling in size and there will be a huge undercover transport area where you will be able to catch the Malaga airport buses and Malaga airport trains. Malaga arrivals is on the ground floor of both terminal buildings and the large Malaga departures hall is on the upper floor. Malaga airport taxis can be found on the ground floor just outside the arrivals hall and when you return they will simply drop you off on the upper level. Malaga Airport has for a long time been the only real airport of merit in Andalucia. This is changing a little as low cost airlines such as Ryanair and Monarch have started to offer direct flights from the UK to Jerez Airport, Granada Airport, Seville Airport and Almeria Airport. The use of these other airports has done little to stifle demand for flights into Malaga and each year the Airport seems to exceed record passenger numbers. This is due in part to the large number of expats who have made the Costa del Sol their home and a huge rise in the number of holiday home owners. Click Here for Flight Arrivals & Departures |
