AGP Malaga Airport – Costa del Sol
History, arrangement and curiosities.
Have you ever wondered how Malaga Airport has become one of the most important airports in Spain? And how many terminals does it have? Or maybe you have thought, what does the acronym AGP of Malaga Airport mean?
All these questions and some more are answered below, so keep reading!
After a few years operating as an aerodrome, in 1937 it became an airbase. And it was here that the schools for Observers, Crew Members and Specialists of the Air Force were located.
On 12th July 1946, the airport was definitively opened to national and international air traffic and was also classified as a customs facility. Initially, passengers were served at its facilities until 1948, when the first civilian terminal for passengers was inaugurated.
Since then, it has witnessed various remodelling and extensions until reaching what we know today of this prestigious international airport of Malaga – Costa del Sol.
The question may seem strange to you, but there is still confusion about the real name of Malaga Airport; and that is, as we explain below, a subject that lends itself to misunderstanding.
Known as Malaga Aviation Field, at the time when it was operating as an airbase; it was with the opening of this airport to commercial traffic that it began to be officially called Malaga Airport. At this time, is when the acronym AGP is assigned, which we talk about in the next section.
With the inauguration, in 1991, of the Pablo Ruiz Picasso Terminal (T2) is when the erroneous belief begins that confuses the name of the terminal with that of the airport, which will continue to be called Malaga Airport until 2011, when it will be called Airport of Malaga – Costa del Sol.
