Malaga airport has been accredited as a safe space by international aeronautical authorities and has implemented a variety of measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic and make travellers feel safe.
The Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport has received accreditation from the Airport Health Accreditation programme managed by the Airports Council International (ACI).
In a bid to combat the ongoing pandemic the airport has installed a staggering 300 plus automatic hydro-alcoholic gel dispensers, along with a host of other elements aimed at protecting travellers and staff. They have installed nearly 300 contactless soap dispensers and over 150 litter bins to allow travellers to deposit their masks and gloves safely.

The new measures are sure to make travellers and staff feel safer.
The director of Malaga airport, Pedro Bendala, has spoken of the work carried out jointly between the airlines and the authorities in order to ensure that travellers are safe and able to fly again with confidence.
He highlighted that the work is “key to the recovery of the airline industry and the revival of tourism” as reported Malaga Hoy.
