Ibiza International Airport is located on the Spanish island of the same name in the Mediterranean Sea, seven kilometres from the local capital, Ibiza City. The airport also serves the island of Formentera, a few kilometres away, which is connected to Ibiza by ferry.
With only one terminal in operation, Ibiza is one of the twenty busiest passenger airports in the country. Many low-cost airlines such as EasyJet, Eurowings, Jet2.com, Ryanair and Wizz Air operate regular flights to the island of Ibiza, which is considered a trendy European resort.
There are car hire companies, catering facilities, shops, currency exchange, a pharmacy and playgrounds for children. In addition, everyone can connect to free Wi-Fi via the “Airport Free Wifi Aena” network. If you need to withdraw cash, there are two ATMs in the Arrivals Hall.
According to the International Air Transport Association classification, Ibiza Airport has been assigned the code “IBZ”.

From the airport to Ibiza, San Antonio and Santa Eulalia
Given the modest size of the island, local public transport is fairly well developed, but only buses are available. These are the buses you should use when planning your itinerary
To get from the airport to the capital of Ibiza Island, take bus 10, which runs every half hour. The stop is at the very end of the terminal, to the right of the exit. The first bus leaves at 7am and the last bus at midnight. The fare is 3.50 euros and tickets can be bought from the driver. The final stop in the city is the CETIS bus station. The journey will take an average of 30 minutes. A similar journey by taxi will cost 15 euros.
