Malaga Airport (AGP) Information

(Malaga, Costa del Sol, Spain)



Malaga Beach viewNone of Andalucia's airports offer as many international flights or welcome as many passengers as Malaga Airport, the oldest Spanish air hub to remain in its original location. In just over a decade, this annual passenger traffic has more than doubled, from six million in 1995 to nearly 13 million today.

Malaga Airport comes with flights connecting more than 60 different countries, while the busiest routes serve the United Kingdom and other European Union nations. Many passengers arrive here not only to visit Malaga and southern Spain's popular Costa del Sol region, but also to pay a visit to the relatively nearby British enclave of Gibraltar. This air facility is far larger and handles more flights than Gibraltar Airport.

In addition to its three main passenger terminals, Malaga Airport features a cargo terminal and a general aviation terminal for private jets. The three passenger terminals are all conveniently situated next to each other, but only number 3 handles departing flights.
