Aena's Spanish airports serve 30.5 million passengers in October

By Reuters News

Nov 12 (Reuters) - Some 30.5 million passengers travelled through Aena's AENA.MC Spanish airports in October, 3.5% more than in the same period in 2025, the airport operator said on Thursday.

Growing passenger numbers highlight Spain's resilience as a tourism hub even as the global airline industry grapples with geopolitical instability, aircraft delivery delays, labour shortages and rising operational costs, which have constrained capacity growth elsewhere.

  • In contrast to travel growth, tonnage of goods transported during the month fell 9.9% from a year ago

  • Madrid's Adolfo Suarez Barajas remained the busiest airport in Spain, followed by Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat and Palma de Mallorca

  • Passenger numbers in Spanish airports stood at 287.7 million in the first 10 months of 2026, up 4% from last year

  • All Aena's airports—comprising 46 airports and 2 heliports in Spain, 17 airports in Brazil, and London Luton and Leeds Bradford in Britain—saw passenger traffic rise 3.1% to 36.6 million in October
