Almeria Airport to Close for Six Days in February 2028 for Runway Works

The exact dates have yet to be confirmed, according to a statement from the airport. The work marks the first runway upgrade in 20 years and is part of a wider 19-month, €29m (£24.8m) project to renovate the entire airport, which is due to begin in 2027. Further disruption is expected during this period, with work taking place at night between 10.45pm and 7.10am, which may impact flights. Airlines that regularly operate at the airport include Ryanair, easyJet and Iberia, all of which have been notified of the works by Spanish airport operator Aena.

Direct routes from the UK include London Gatwick, London Southend, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool and Birmingham. Domestic routes include flights from Barcelona, Seville and Madrid. The airport is about a 15-minute drive from Almeria city centre and close to the A7 'Motorway of the Mediterranean', which connects Almeria to coastal cities including Alicante and Benidorm.
