Private jets at Málaga Airport
Málaga is open around the clock, with customs at all hours and a General Aviation Terminal used by two authorised FBOs, AviaVIP and Málaga Business Aviation FBO. It is a slot-coordinated airport and private flights are accepted only when capacity allows, so a slot must be confirmed before the flight plan is filed.

Business aviation handling
Passengers and crew can choose to use the General Aviation Terminal, served by the two FBOs authorised by the airport (AIP).
AviaVIP (Aviapartner Málaga FBO)
Authorised FBO in the General Aviation Terminal (AIP). Open 24/7. Over 500 m2 of lounges with ramp views, two passenger lounges, crew lounge, private meeting room and hangar access.
Málaga Business Aviation FBO U.T.E.
Authorised FBO in the General Aviation Terminal (AIP).
Worth knowing before you fly
- Málaga accepts private flights only when capacity allows, and a flight without an approved slot will not be allowed to operate. Book the slot early, especially in summer.
- Passengers can use the General Aviation Terminal, where AviaVIP and Málaga Business Aviation FBO are the authorised FBOs, so they avoid the main terminal.
- Small piston aircraft are effectively barred during the day, so a client needing a very small aircraft should be offered a turboprop or jet.
- Late passengers can cost time: under A-CDM a crew that misses its start-up window loses its place in the departure sequence.
