Seville Airport (SVQ/LEZL) is the main international airport serving Seville, the capital of Andalusia in southern Spain. Located approximately 10 kilometres northeast of the city centre, it handles millions of passengers annually and connects the region to destinations across Europe and beyond.
The airport was significantly modernised in the early 1990s in preparation for the 1992 World Exposition (Expo '92) held in Seville, receiving a new terminal designed by Rafael Moneo. This expansion greatly increased its capacity and cemented its role as a key gateway to southern Spain.
