Airport: Arriving by plane to Zaragoza
Zaragoza has not a big airport. It was refurbished in 2008 because the international exhibition but you will not see many international flights and almost all of them low cost.
Being a city located about 300 km away from Madrid airport, Barcelona airport, Valencia and Bilbao (and a little more to Toulouse) it is quite easy to arrive there with more destinations and frequencies and transfer to train.
But it is possible to arrive by plane.
Which international destinations do we have?
Today there are only two companies with international destinations: Ryanair and Wizz-Air.
Ryanair flyes Charleroi (Brussels), Stansted (London) and Beauvois (Paris) three or four times per week and to Bergamo (Milano) everyday (it could be the unique non base-to-base RYR flight daily).
Wizz-Air flyes to Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca twice per week.
Both of them are low cost companies and have the typical baggage, check-in, etc... restrictions. Have a look in their webs.
There are other domestic direct destinations.
How can I move from airport to city centre?
In a weekly day, fare with all supplements Airport-City centre would be 25 EUR for a taxi.
There is a bus service that runs every 30 minutes (60 minutes on sundays). and takes you from airport to station and city centre. It costs 1,85 EUR/person.
It will go via a logistic area and shopping centre (they have more passengers than airport and thanks to them we have these frequencies. Airport is only the last stop). They will stop at the station. Take notice. Direction centre they will stop at Departures area and direction airport they will stop at the Arrivals area. That will help anyone who arrives to Zaragoza (arrivals area) and want to take a bus to airport or conversely.
At city centre they have the terminus in P. Maria Agustin 7.
These are current timetables. You can have a look

Where can I find information?
At the airport there is a tourism office, managed both by Zaragoza council and Aragon government so you will find enough information about each destination. Be almost sure that you would be able to buy there all official tickets you would want.
It opens 10:00 to 21:00 monday to sunday except Christmas and New Year's day.
Can I find more flights?
Yes. There are not too many direct flights but in holiday seasons you can find charter flights. It is an aiport located in a city between important hubs. People do not use it for business because destinations and frequencies but they use it for holidays.
Have a look for season destinations or sometimes a flight to be operated only in some dates.
Apart of it, thanks to Zaragoza location (about 30 million people in 350 km around considering almost all Spain and southern France), Zaragoza airport will not have too many passenger flights but it is the second airport in freight in Spain, after Madrid airport and more freight than other ones.
