:vertical_traffic_light: Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
A great airport to choose for the next European airport in the future - it’s not too close to the others, but not too far as to limit B-class connections, it’s not a huge mega-hub like AMS or CDG, but still a decent size.

:airplane_departure: Major Airlines & Routes
Base for Vueling, Ryanair, easyJet and Norwegian Air Shuttle
Connections mostly throughout Europe, but also trans-Atlantic flights to YUL and EWR

:world_map: Unique Features or Challenges
Mediterranean location on the Sunny Coast (Costa del Sol), surrounded by the Penibaetic System ( Cordillera Penibética), interesting RWY and terminal layout with short taxi distances.
Includes rolling departure stands (no pushback, like at BRI) and a decent-size cargo terminal.

AGP also has an incredible approach, over the mountains makes for some stunning views.

As long as they give us them 757’s on the shorter hauls though.

Is this where I go on a rant about Monarch 757s not being available despite Jet2 ones are?
