Towards the end of 1914, the municipality of Seville delivered a plot of 240,000 m2 to the Military Aviation Association for the construction of an airport. The airport works started in 1915 and it started to be used for pilot and observer training in the same year. In 1919, the airport was officially opened, and in the same year the first commercial flights were made between Seville and Madrid.
The following year, an air mail service was established between Seville and Larache and in 1921, the first Spanish commercial flights were made between Seville and Larache. In 1923, various facilities such as hangars, workshops and facilities were opened, and approval was given for the construction of an aerodrome measuring 750 x 500 m at one end of the military aerodrome in Tablada.
In April 1927, Unión Aérea Española established the Madrid-Seville-Lisbon air service. In February 1929, the Sevilla airport project was approved, and in March, Tablada airport was opened to flights and air traffic. After the planned airport was built, it was decided to stop this service. In 1929, the first flight was made between Madrid and Seville, and in 1930 this flight was extended to the Canary Islands.

In 1948 a protractor was installed, and runway lighting was completed. In 1956, runway 09/27 was expanded and runway 18/36 became a taxiway.
