Aena's Spanish airports serve 34.9 million passengers in August

By Reuters News

Sept 15 (Reuters) - Some 34.9 million passengers travelled through Aena's AENA.MC Spanish airports in August, 4.7% more than in the same month last year, the airport operator said on Tuesday.

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.

  • Passenger numbers in the first eight months of 2026 reached 225.5 million, 4.1% higher than 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

  • All airports operated by Aena - comprising 46 airports and two heliports in Spain, 17 airports in Brazil, London's Luton and Leeds Bradford - saw a rise of 4.7% to 41.4 million passengers in August
