Land the size of 200 football pitches is to be acquired for the construction of Malaga airport's second runway.

Last week, the airport operator Aena published a list of 527 properties covering two million square metres which it will have to acquire to build the extra runway.

The properties include apartments, parking areas, cultivated and irrigated land, roads, railways and undeveloped countryside. Most of the acquisitions fall within the municipality of the city of Málaga.

The extra runway is expected to be operational by 2010.
