Seville Airport

Seville Airport dates back to 1940. It experienced its greatest expansion as of 1989 when, with a view to Global Exposure, a new terminal building was built, the aircraft apron was extended to 200,000 square metres and a new access road was built from the national N-IV road. A new control tower was built to the south of the runway. These new facilities were inaugurated in July 1991.

The architect Rafael Moneo designed a building rooted in Sevillian culture with three traditional components: the mosque, the palace and the orange trees. Travelers are greeted by an orchard of orange trees in the airport grounds and then enter a blue expanse created by the effect of the glazed tiles and crowned with a series of vaulted arches.

1992 was the city's most important year, with a total of 2,896,241 passengers passing through the airport. Despite almost half logically being lost during the following year, from 1995 to 2001 it did not stop growing, even exceeding two million passengers. After a slight drop in 2002, an 11.1% increase in passengers was experienced in 2003.

Airport Facts

The traffic at Seville Airport is essentially domestic. Its importance as a national airport is reflected in the fact that this type of traffic represents 78% of the total. Looking to the future, the assembly of the future A400M military transport plane by EADS-CASA in Seville will have significant repercussions on the airport's development.

The Seville airport operates during both the summer and winter seasons from 7:00am to 12:30am (local time), with the possibility of extending an additional three hours upon prior request.

It currently has one runway, called 09-27 (3,360 by 45 metres), with three exit taxiways and two accesses to the double departure point, in by-pass and parallel taxiing, with a capability of 28 operations per hour. There is an apron for 23 aircraft. The passenger / hour capacity is 1,900 for Schengen flights and 600 for non-Schengen flights for arrival operations; and 1,350 Schengen and 450 non-Schengen for departure operations.

The airport also has a passenger building with a total surface area of 62,000 square metres on three levels. It also has a terminal and a cargo zone, located to the west of the passenger terminal building, an industrial zone with the facilities occupied by the company EADS-CASA along with warehouses, workshops and a general aviation terminal.

The arrival of low-cost airlines (Brussels Airlines, Aer Lingus, Ryanair and Vueling) in 2005 is worth noting. This has brought about a variety of changes to the airport infrastructures, in addition to providing a notable stimulus to the air traffic demand.

A number of measures have been taken to face the traffic increase expected through 2015, with guaranteed safety and quality, such as the installation of a new carousel to classify baggage and an integrated system to run security checks on 100% of baggage in the hold.
