The airport is located in the suburb of Manises, approximately 7 km from the city centre. presently (April 2006) the easiest way to the city centre is by taxi. 15 euros is the most one can expect to pay for this taxi ride. Work is presently being done on the elongation of the number 5 metro line which will join the airport with the city centre. The 'Aerobus' service runs to and from the airport to the city centre.
