The airport has one terminal and two runways, although the shorter runway 04/22 is not in use and has no ILS but has a helipad at the southwestern end.
Valencia airport is situated on the A3 highway which connects Valencia with Madrid, as well as being close to the A7, to Barcelona and into France. It is also well served by public transport. It is connected to Valencia by a regular bus line (MetroBus) which takes 45 minutes, while the shuttle service (Aerobus) to city centre takes only 20 minutes. The metro network (lines 3 and 5) also connect the airport to the city centre (15 minutes), the Railway Station and the Port (fare: € 1,90, winter 2009).
A new regional terminal, expanded car parking facilities and apron area have been recently constructed in time for the 2007 America’s Cup. The runway has been also lengthened by 500m.
It is the main base of Iberia’s regional carrier Air Nostrum. Irish low-cost airline Ryanair used the airport as a hub since 2007 but decided to close it in November 2008 following a row over subsidies by the airport authorities.
