International flights

Spain has many international airports. The airports open to international traffic are: Alicante, Almeria, Aviles, Barcelona, Bilbao, Fuerteventura, Girona, Granada, Ibiza, Jerez de la Frontera, Corunna, Lanzarote, Las Palmas, Madrid-Barajas, Malaga, Melilla, Menorca, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca, Reus (Tarragona), San Sebastian, Santander, Santiago de Compostela (Corunna) Seville, Tenerife-Norte, Tenerife-Sur, Valencia, Vigo, Vitoria and Zaragoza. A departure tax applies when flying out of Spain, but this is usually included in the price of the ticket at purchase - although it is worth checking on this when flying with cut-price flight operators..

Because of the increased number of passengers flying to and from the Spanish airports, many are currently being modernised and expanded to cope with the increased traffic - both human and aircraft.
