Melilla Airport is an airport located southwest Melilla, an enclave of Spain in Africa..〔 The airport is located near the border with Morocco. Between 1931 and 1967 Melilla was served by the Tauima Aerodrome (now the Nador International Airport), even when Morocco had gained its independence in 1956. This Spanish controlled airport did not open until 1969. The airport does not handle large jets, but following the extension of the runway, the airlines serving the airport also use medium size jets airplanes (Airbus A320 and Boeing 737), regional jets and turboprop airliners. ==History== In the 1920s several military aerodromes were built in area for the Air Arm of the Spanish Army: * Ramel - now in Morocco * Arcila - now in Morocco * Zeluan - now in Morocco Following the conflict between Spain and Morocco, a new military airfield was built near Cabrerizas Altas. This airport had a simple landing area. As tension settled and Spain was able to re-establish land around Melilla, this airport was relocated again further south of city.〔http://www.airports-worldwide.com/spain/melilla_spain.htm〕 The new airport, Tauima Aerodrome, was opened for civilian flights 1931 and used also by the military.〔(Melilla Airport. History )〕 The El Atalayón hydroplane air station (now site of oyster farm) in the Mar Chica was operational in the 1930s to provide additional air travel options using Dornier Do J seaplanes. In 1956 the end of the Spanish protectorate over northern Morocco placed the airport outside of control from Spain, although some investment from Spain was done in the aerodrome until 1958. Limited access to the airport was given to Melilla by secured bus until 1967. The Tauima aerodrome later became Nador International Airport. In 1969, the current airport was opened within Melilla's borders and was strictly a civilian facility. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melilla Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
