Cardiff Airport increases flights to Malaga

Low-cost Barcelona based airline, Vueling, has put more flights on sale between Cardiff Airport and Málaga.

From 24 June 2025, the number of departure flights from Cardiff to Málaga will increase to 4 weekly, flying every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

This increases further to 5 weekly departure flights from 16 September – 25 October 2025, flying every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

The airport is keen to encourage passengers to visit Costa del Sol and discover its landscapes, beaches, food, rich cultural heritage, coastal areas, and charming ‘white hinterland villages’.

Culture

Málaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol and one of the major cities in Spain.

Its old town, with its bustling harbour, has been declared a Historic Artistic Site and Site of Cultural Interest.

Its sixteen beaches and numerous leisure opportunities, sports or golf courses, combine with an attractive monumental heritage and network of world-class museums.

Vueling Airlines currently offers direct flights to Alicante and Málaga from Cardiff.
