AENA confirms Málaga-AGP Terminal Expansion & 14 New North Europe Routes from Q1 2027
Spain's AENA announced a €380M Phase 2 expansion of Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), increasing annual capacity from 20M to 30M passengers by Q4 2027. Simultaneously, Ryanair and easyJet committed to 14 new year-round routes from Scandinavia, Netherlands, and Germany starting March 2027, supported by EU TEN-T Connecting Europe Facility co-funding. The expansion includes a new satellite terminal and direct rail link to Marbella completing in 2028.
Avena analysis.
Historical comps include Alicante-Elche expansion 2011 (+11.3% property values within 25km over 18 months), Faro Airport route additions 2015 (+8.7% Algarve central within 14 months), and Palma de Mallorca Terminal D 2016 (+12.1% within 20 months). Infrastructure-driven accessibility improvements show strongest effects in coastal leisure markets with existing foreign buyer concentration above 35%. Costa del Sol currently at 42% non-Spanish buyers, making it highly sensitive to northern European connectivity. Falsifiability: If route load factors fall below 65% in first 6 months or AENA delays terminal opening beyond Q2 2028, price impact would compress to <4%.
