A little history
As said before, the oldest airport in the country. The first Malaga airport arrivals came from Barcelona, Alicante, Toulouse, Tangier and Casablanca through the carrier Didier Daurat. There was only 1 runway for all Malaga arrivals until 1960. This was enlarged and expanded with various technological systems. A new terminal was built in 1968 with a second one a few years later. Since then, seasonal holiday flights have increased. Another new terminal was put into use in 1991, which is now called Terminal 2. In the years since then, more and more runways have been built or extended and terminals replaced to what they are today.
