About Melilla Airport
Melilla Airport is the main airport serving Melilla, a Spanish autonomous city on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. Opened on 31 July 1969, it provides the city's regular air link with mainland Spain and functions as its principal air gateway.
Located about 3–4 km southwest of the city centre, the airport operates from a single compact passenger terminal. Scheduled services are domestic flights operated by Iberia Regional / Air Nostrum, connecting Melilla with destinations such as Málaga, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Granada and Almería, plus seasonal services to the Balearic and Canary Islands.
There is no public bus or rail connection to the airport, so most passengers reach the city by taxi or rental car, with private transfers and chauffeur services also available. The short journey makes onward travel into Melilla straightforward.
Although small, the terminal offers essential passenger services, and the airport's location close to the city makes it a convenient entry point for visitors arriving in this part of Spain.
