Departures from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport

Malaga Airport departures: how to read the board

The departures board above lists the flights leaving Malaga-Costa del Sol today, with the scheduled departure time, the estimated or actual time, the destination and the status. It updates continuously; an estimated time later than the schedule means a delay, and departed means the aircraft has left the gate.

Almost all international flights depart from Terminal 3, with check-in and security on the upper floor and the gates in the piers beyond. Summer Saturdays and early mornings are the busy times, when Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2.com and TUI Airways flights to Britain leave close together and all of those passengers go through passport control as well. Arrive well ahead of the time on the board and return rental cars with a margin.

Dropping off and getting there

The Cercanías C1 suburban train runs from Malaga city and from Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Torremolinos to the station under Terminal 3, the easiest way to reach the airport without a car. Rental-car returns are signposted at the terminals; for a quick drop-off, stop briefly at the departures curb, or use the garage opposite to walk in together. Buses from Marbella and the western coast stop at the terminal.

The board is dominated by flights to Britain and Ireland: Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2.com, TUI Airways, Aer Lingus and British Airways to London Gatwick, Manchester, Dublin, London Stansted, Bristol and Birmingham, with Vueling and Air Europa to Madrid and Barcelona and the Scandinavian flights of Norwegian.
