Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is the airport for Málaga and the Costa del Sol, in Andalusia, Spain. It sits about 8 km (5 miles) southwest of Málaga city center and about 5 km north of Torremolinos, between the city and the resorts along the coast.
Ryanair has its largest base here, and easyJet, Vueling, Norwegian and Jet2 fly many more routes, most of them to the UK, Ireland, the Nordic countries and the rest of Europe. Long-haul flights go to Newark with United in season, Montréal with Air Transat, Doha with Qatar Airways, Abu Dhabi with Etihad in season and Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. In 2025 the airport handled about 26.8 million passengers.
Two terminals are in use: Terminal 3, the newer and main terminal, and Terminal 2, the Pablo Ruiz Picasso terminal. The old Terminal 1 is closed to the public. A transport hub outside Terminal 3 links the bus station, the underground train station and the parking lots.
From the airport, most travelers head into Málaga, west along the coast to Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Marbella and Estepona, or east to Nerja.

Most flights arrive at Terminal 3. Flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. If you come from outside the Schengen area, as many passengers here do from the UK and Ireland, you queue at passport control, where non-EU visitors are registered in the EU's Entry/Exit System. Queues can be long in summer when several UK flights land together.
After baggage claim, follow the signs out of the Terminal 3 arrivals hall. Look for "Tren" for the train, "Autobús" for buses and "Taxi" for the rank. The transport hub outside Terminal 3 links the bus station, the train station and the parking lots.
Cercanías trains leave from the underground station at Terminal 3 about every 20 minutes, running one way to Málaga city and the other way to Torremolinos, Benalmádena and Fuengirola. Official taxis wait at the rank outside arrivals, and pre-booked drivers usually meet you in the arrivals hall.
