Malaga Airport

Malaga Airport is one of the best-known airports in Europe. Also known as Pablo Ruiz Picasso Airport, it is the main international airport serving the Costa del Sol in Spain, a major tourist destination. The airport is ideally situated for this purpose, being located just 8km southwest of Malaga and 5km north of Torremolinos, two popular resort and hotel locations.

The airport facilities currently include one asphalt paved runway (13/31 10,500ft, 3,200m) – although a second runway is currently under construction and will be open by 2010 – and two terminal buildings (a third terminal is currently under construction adjacent to the existing two and will be completed by 2010). In 1997 a seven-storey car park was opened at the airport.
