Malaga Airport information
In Economy Transfer we provide you with useful information for users or passengers who will use the facilities at Malaga airport in the future. Malaga airport is located in the district of Churriana, 7 kilometres from the city and close to other municipalities as Torremolinos and Alhaurin de la Torre. The airport is well connected to other localities taking the urban motorway MA-21, also called Avenida Velazquez and the Highway MA-20, also called Ronda Oeste de Malaga.
Terminal 3
Currently the Terminal 3, opened in 2010, is the main artery of the passenger traffic at Malaga airport. The architect Bruce S. Fairbanks, in charge of the new terminal, conceived the three terminals as one single terminal, thus the T3 is connected from the north with the T2 and this one in turn with the T1.
The design and spaciousness of the Terminal 3 is outstanding transmitting a pleasant feeling to the travellers passing through it.
Another success are the large windows that run along the east side of the airport; thanks to the windows the installations are constantly lit by natural sunlight until sunset.
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2
Terminal 1 was closed with the culmination of the works of the T3, but Terminal 2 is still in operation focussing on the arrival and departure of non-Schengen flights and some Low Cost companies.
Second Runway
In mid-2012 was finished the construction of the new runway at Malaga airport which helps avoid possible congestion of flights due to high annual number of flights.
