Airport Information:
The airport is one of the most outstanding symbols of the renewal and vigour of the city of Bilbao.
Some 3.8 passengers moved through Bilbao Airport in 2006, which was about the same
as the previous year although passenger traffic has doubled in the last 10 years.
Bilbao airport is mostly used for internal flights to all other main cities in Spain including
Coruna, Alicante, Barcelona, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Madrid, Malaga, Palma, Seville, Tenerife (North and South),
Valencia and Vigo. Currently British Airways, Easyjet and Air Lingus fly to and from the UK.
The departures floor (top floor) is accessed via a five-laned 38 metre projection. There are currently 36 check-in counters arranged in the shape of a fan.
After check-in you will pass through to a bright wide-open area where the service and shopping areas are to be found.
Once through the security checkpoint you will be in the pre-boarding zone, a glass corridor measuring 300 metres long
on the southern facade of the building, where it is possible to view the entire airfield. From this section of the airport departure area you can access
either the mezzanine, which leads to the telescopic fingers or the lounges to the 12 boarding gates.
There are currently 3 cafeterias, 1 restaurant and several good shops that will keep you busy
and amused whilst waiting for your flight to depart.
The Main Car Hire Companies here are Avis, Hertz, National Atesa and Europcar.
