Trains started running from Bilbao to Sondika through the Bilbao–Lezama line on 23 July 1909.

[3] The line from Sondika to Mungia closed in March 1975 due to the lengthening of the airport runway.

The station was rebuilt in its current location in 1992,[4][5] thus allowing for a direct connection between Lutxana and Lezama.

As a result, trains on the Txorierri line ran from Lutxana to Lezama from November 2015 to April 2017.

[10] The station is also served on weekdays by an hourly shuttle service (line E3a) to Lutxana.
