Get ready, Málaga Airport is about to undergo a major transformation!
A €1.5 billion expansion project will see more terminal space, an increase in passenger capacity, and an improvement for passengers with faster security and passport control. Work is scheduled to start late 2028.
What will the transformation improve?
- Terminal expansion: The terminal will grow from approximately 80,000m² to 140,000m², creating more boarding gates, check-ins, security, and passport control. One notable difference is that passengers will no longer have to remove liquids or laptops at security, thanks to the introduction of innovative 3D scanners.
- Increased capacity: The expansion is designed to handle over 36 million passengers annually, a large increase from the current 25 million passengers.
- Infrastructure improvements:
- A new modern pier for non-Schengen flights will replace current facilities.
- There will be a notable increase in security checks, passport control, and boarding areas.
- Existing taxiways will be upgraded, and parking and road access will be improved.
- Passenger experience:
- Faster processing with modernized security and passport control.
- More gates and more efficient baggage handling.
- Expanded retail zones and restaurants.
- Sustainability and accessibility:
- This project includes energy-efficient systems to improve sustainability.
- Improved accessibility design for all passengers.
- Future developments:
- The expansion is expected to lay the path for new flight routes, including North America and Asia.
