Bilbao Airport

Single terminal: Bilbao operates from one terminal building with departures and arrivals areas clearly organised. Gates are within a compact airside area and most passenger services are within easy walking distance.

Because there is a single terminal, transferring passengers move between areas on foot; the terminal’s compact nature keeps walk times short.
