Getting around SVQ
Aena traces the current terminal to the run-up to the 1992 Universal Exhibition: a new building went up alongside an extended apron and a fresh access road off the N-IV, and it opened on 31 July 1991. The design borrows three pieces of Sevilla's own architecture — the mosque, the palace and the orange grove — so arriving passengers walk through an orange grove before the terminal opens into a hall coloured blue by glass roofing tiles, crowned with a run of vaulted arches. Everyone flies through the same single terminal: Aena lists 25 airlines here, none tied to a separate building, with check-in on the ground floor and boarding — behind gates B11, B18 and C21, C23, and gate 9 — one floor up. There is no train and no metro: the only public transport is Tussam's EA line, shuttling between the terminal and central Sevilla from roughly 4:30am to 1am. One VIP lounge covers both Schengen and non-Schengen departures, named Azahar after the orange blossom that scents the city every spring. Aena counted 9,686,487 passengers in 2025, and ACI recognised Sevilla in 2024 as the best airport in Europe in its facilities category for hubs handling between 5 and 15 million passengers.
