You really need to speak Spanish to get a job with any of the handling agents
All the handling guys have bilingual managers and operatives - so if you can only offer one language you are at a huge disadvantage
Malaga is a great place to live but make sure you're coming here for the right reasons - look to enhance your career
Malaga is a busy airport and will become busier
All the best
Full hope

That's completely untrue! You don't need to speak spanish to work at Málaga Airport (LEMG/AGP). I´ve been working down there for a couple of years and I meet quite a lot of non-spanish speakers.
Handling agents: Iberia and Eurohandling. There are also several airlines doing with own handling staff (i.e. Spanair/Newco, Vueling, Easyjet...).
There are also a big bunch of Airline Representative Companies:
- Servisair: Monarch, Air Scotland and many other airlines. Executive operators as well.
- Malaga Ground Services: First Choice, Excel Airways, Thomas Cook UK, Aeroflot.
- SART: Kuwait Airways, Blue Panorama and executive operators.
- Air Taxi: Saudia Airlines, Futura Int. Airways and executive operators.
- GAS: Working for executive operators only, very bad company to work for.
- AGA: Air Finland, Sterling/Maersk, Hapag Lloyd and other german/scandinavian operators.
- Falcon:
- Globeground: Lufthansa, Thomas Cook Belgium/Condor...
- Select aviation: Air Madrid, JET2, Flyglobespan...
In addition, you can find many tour-operators with non-spanish speaking staff working as airport representative, passenger service staff, etc.., whose do not have anything to do with the airlines they are associated with: First Choice, Thomas Cook, Saga, TUI, Nickermann, Freedom Flights, Sovereign, etc...
Since a couple of months ago, Easyjet cancelled the handling contract with Eurohandling and is now performing self handling (they operate more than 25 flights a day to AGP).
If you are looking for a job within AENA, you will need to speak spanish and to forget the english language, just to be exactly like the rest of employees! :ugh:
If you require any further detail, just let me know.
Regards.
