By the summer of 2009 travellers on the train to Malaga airport will arrive in the new train station underneath the main airport building. The new train station is also designed to receive high speed trains arriving from other Spanish cities as well as a double train track all the way to Marbella.
Until then train travellers arriving at the airport from Fuengirola train station or going to Fuengirola from Malaga airport have to use the present train stop which is totally obsolete and difficult to access for older passengers pulling heavy suitcases and impossible for wheelchair users.
Some of the intermediate train stops like the Los Boliches train in Fuengirola have been adapted for use by wheelchair users and can be accessed easily.
Due to the airport expansion construction work the suburban railway platform must be accessed by crossing the P2 car park on the departures level (opposite the T2 check-in hall. Malaga airport train platform is about 300 metres from the airport building reached by a ramp from the first floor departures level completely in the open air. Buy your ticket from the vending machine before climbing up to the platform.
The Malaga Airport train stop is one of the stops between Malaga train station and Fuengirola. Trains leave Malaga and Fuengirola stations in opposite directions every every 30 minutes.
