La première ligne aérienne espagnole

Le 9 mars 1919, un avion Sampson 2A, dans lequel se trouvait Latécoère, atterrit à Málaga, à l'endroit appelé El Rompedizo. Le but de ce voyage était d'établir une ligne aérienne entre la France et le Maroc en reliant Toulouse à Casablanca en passant par Barcelone, Alicante et Málaga. Le 1^er septembre 1919, six mois plus tard, après quelques vols supplémentaires, Didier Daurat inaugura la première ligne commerciale Toulouse-Casablanca et devint le premier directeur de l'aérodrome de Málaga.

Dès les années 90, une nouvelle modernisation de l'aéroport civil fut rendue nécessaire par le nombre croissant de passagers. Le nouveau terminal Pablo Ruiz Picasso (terminal 3) fut inauguré le 30 novembre 1991. En 1995 fut construit un nouveau parking et en 1996 un hangar pour la maintenance des avions et un terminal marchandises.

Finalement, une nouvelle tour de contrôle fut inaugurée en 2002.

History and development

The first scheduled air service from Malaga began in 1919, when Didier Daurat began regular flights between Toulouse, Barcelona, Alicante, Málaga Tangiers and Casablanca.

In 1937, training academies for the Air Force were set up in Malaga airport, and in 1946 the airport was opened to international civil passenger flights, and was classified as a customs post.

The one runway was extended in the 1960s, and a new terminal was erected in the centre of the site. During this period of development new navigational equipment was installed, including radar system at the end of the decade, in 1970.

Having been known by various names throughout its history, Malaga Airport was officially given its current title in 1965. Three years later, in 1968, the new passenger terminal was opened. In 1972 a second passenger terminal was opened to cater specifically for non-scheduled traffic. An increase in companies offering package holidays (around 30 by 1965) meant that this type of traffic was providing an increasing portion of the airport's business.

In 1991, the brand new Pablo Ruiz Picasso terminal was opened. This building was designed by architect Ricardo Bofill, and was built to be operated in combination with the pre-existing passenger terminal. The new terminal, known also as Terminal 2, hosts a large check-in/entrance hall with a Burger King on the southern side and a long row of check-in desks running left to right across the concourse. Once passengers check in they go beyond the check-in desks themselves to access the security areas instead of having to "back-track" on themselves, meaning that the check-in concourse is less crowded, particularly important if people have luggage trolleys. Once beyond the security check-point passengers can use the airport's facilities. These include:

Duty-free/Tax-free shopping which is located on a mezzanine floor and accessed by a series of escalators.
Restaurant/Buffet style diner also located on the upper level.

Once each flight has been allocated a departure gate, passengers are told to proceed to a pier, either B to the left or C to the right. As a general rule domestic departures, in particular Iberia, Spanair flights depart from pier B along with mainland European flights. Pier C hosts flights departing to the UK and Ireland although some UK carriers such as EasyJet flights to Liverpool occasionally depart from pier B.

Further development was done on the airport in the mid-90s, with the old passenger building being converted into a general aviation terminal, and a new hangar for large aircraft maintenance being built to the north of the airport site. Also constructed in this period was a terminal specifically catering to cargo traffic.
