as Manises Airport, is the 8th busiest Spanish airport
in terms of passengers and second in the region after
Alicante. It is situated 9km west of the city of Valencia.
The airport has flight connections to about 15 European
countries and 5.7 million passengers passed through
the airport in 2008. The airport has one terminal and
two runways, although the shorter runway 04/22 is not
in use and has no ILS but has a helipad at the southwestern
end.
Valencia
airport is situated on the A3 highway which connects
Valencia with Madrid, as well as being close to the
A7, to Barcelona and into France. It is also well served
by public transport. It is connected to Valencia by
a regular bus line (MetroBus) which takes 45 minutes,
while the shuttle service (Aerobus) to city centre takes
only 20 minutes. The metro network (lines 3 and 5) also
connect the airport to the city center (15 minutes),
the Railway Station and the Port (fare: € 1,90,

A
new regional terminal, expanded car parking facilities
and apron area have been recently constructed in time
for the 2007 America's Cup. The runway has been also
lengthened by 500m.
It
is the main base of Iberia’s regional carrier
Air Nostrum. Irish low-cost airline Ryanair used the
airport as a hub since 2007 but decided to close it
in November 2008 following a row over subsidies by the
airport authorities.
