Calls to change the name of Málaga Airport: "Businessmen in the tourism sector of the Western Costa del Sol have agreed that Málaga airport should be re-named. Instead of the current name, ‘Pablo Ruiz Picasso’, they think the airport should be called ‘Costa del Sol’.
The idea came from the Association of Hoteliers on the Costa del Sol, and now the Centre for Tourist Initiatives in Marbella, and the Confederation of Málaga businessmen have joined the call as it has been sent on to the Ministry for Development for consideration.
They argue that the new name would be more representative, and bring more economic benefits to the tourism industry. They note that last year there were 11.6 million passengers at Málaga, making it the main airport in Andalucía and the fourth busiest in Spain.
Meanwhile data from AENA, the Spanish Airports Authority, has shown Andalucian airports saw 5,027,981 passengers over the first four months of the year, down 1.03% compared to last year. At Málaga there were 5.2% fewer passengers, compared to last year for the same time."
