The airport of Seville, situated ten kilometres north-east of the city, faced its greatest expansion in 1992 when, in preparation for the Expo 92 in the city, the airport constructed a new terminal building, enlarged its landing and standing areas, and opened a new access route from the N-IV motorway. It also built a new control tower to the south of the airport complex.
It was designed as a building rooted in Seville´s
culture and, for that, it includes three traditional
design components: the Mezquita, the Palace, and
the orange tree. An orchard of orange trees receives
the traveller on arrival at the airport, entering
through a blue area to give the effect of the glazed
tiles of the city, and crowned by a series of arches
supported by vaults, echoing various stages of the
city´s architectural heritage.
Seville airport serves a fundamentally national traffic, but also international. The national traffic represents 79.8 per cent of its total traffic.
In 2005, the airport moved 3,521,112 passengers, 55,423 flights and 6,352 tons of freight.

Gibraltar Airport |
| Code: |
GIB |
| City: |
Gibraltar |

During the Second World War, the strategic value of Gibraltar rose with the construction of the airport. Originally, it was an army emergency landings strip , but after reclaiming land from the sea, the strip was used (and continues to be used) as an important gateway for travellers.
Sited on, or on the side of, the frontier with Spain, entry to which is by a short walk and the presentation of the relevant papers. A carpark outside the airport perimeter serves as a stop for buses and taxis, although British taxis from Gibraltar cannot cross the border and operate as taxis in Spain (the rule operates in the opposite direction for Spanish taxis). Therefore anyone using the airport and needing a taxi will have to use a taxi serving the territory they are visiting. |
