Seville Airport (IATA: SVQ, ICAO: LEZL) (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Sevilla) is the sixth busiest inland airport in Spain. It is the main international airport serving Western Andalusia in southern Spain, and neighbouring provinces. The airport has flight connections to 42 destinations around Europe and Northern Africa, and handled 4,308,852 passengers in 2015. It serves as base for the low cost carriers Vueling and Ryanair. It is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of downtown Seville, and some 110 kilometres (68 mi) north-east of Costa de la Luz.

Seville Airport is capable of handling six million passengers a year. There are 23 stands (all of them are self-maneuvering) of which 16 are remote, with 42 check-in desks and 16 boarding gates.

Since its opening in 1991 Seville airport has undergone minor extension works. In 2013 opened the new car parking building of 5 floors.

In 1914, the first aircraft flying between the peninsula and Morocco landed at the improvised aerodrome of Tablada, which had been fitted out the previous year for an air festival. Following this, the municipal government of Seville handed over a plot of land measuring 240,000 m² (2,600,000 sq ft) to the Military Aeronautical Society for the construction of an aerodrome. Work on the aerodrome began in 1915 and that same year it began to be used for training pilots and observers.

In 1919 the first commercial flights were operated between Seville and Madrid. The following year, an air postal service was established between Seville and Larache and in 1921, the first Spanish commercial service between Seville and Larache was set up. In 1923, various facilities such as hangars, workshops and premises were opened and approval was given for the construction of a municipal airport in Tablada at one end of the military aerodrome airfield, measuring 750 by 500 m (2,460 by 1,640 ft).
