Seville Airport’s official name is Aeropuerto de Sevilla-San Pablo, so people refer to it as “San Pablo” to make it shorter. The IATA airport code for Seville is SVQ.
It’s located 10 km (6.2 mi) northeast of the city center and it handles 6+ million people per year. In addition to this, almost 20 airlines operate here and more than 80 routes are served.
The Seville airport was renovated recently and it offers a good range of services for its medium size. Obviously, its main advantage is that delays happen less often than in major hubs (don’t think your flight will be always on time though…). And your baggage is delivered pretty fast.

How to go from Seville Airport to Santa Justa
The airport is very well connected with Santa Justa train station.
If you need to go from Seville Airport to Santa Justa, you only have two options:
- You can catch the bus line EA (Especial Aeropuerto) running from 4:00 to 1:30 all year round with only several stops on the route. The bus stop is located at the Terminal level 0, on the Arrivals sidewalk.
- Or you can take a cab. Unfortunately, taxi drivers in Seville have in general a very bad reputation. I definitely don’t recommend them.

Seville Airport hotels
The airport remains closed at night, all year round, from 1:30 to 4:30.
If you have an early morning flight, where you stay the night before makes a huge difference in your day. Or, if you have a late arrival, you might like to stay at the airport for a night instead of trying to figure out trains the moment you touch down. Airport hotels are usually perfect for times like this.
