Málaga's Museum of Airports and Air Travel, Aviation museum in Málaga, Spain.
Description
The Museo Nacional de Aeropuertos y Transporte Aéreo displays vintage aircraft, historical documents, and interactive exhibits across three connected buildings near Málaga Airport. The collection includes various aircraft and aviation equipment spanning different periods.
History
Málaga Airport began operations in 1948 with a terminal building designed by architect Luis Gutiérrez Soto that remained in use until 1968. The museum was later established in this historic structure to preserve the early years of modern aviation in the region.

Practical
The museum operates with varying hours throughout the week, and guided tours are available if you request them in advance. It helps to check opening times before your visit since these may vary by season.
