Aena September passenger traffic rises 4.2% on strong Spain demand

By Reuters News

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Some 31.7 million passengers travelled through Aena's Spanish airports in September, 4.2% more than a year earlier, the airport operator said on Tuesday.

Growing passenger numbers underline Spain's resilience as a tourism destination even as parts of the global aviation industry face capacity constraints from aircraft-delivery delays, labour shortages and geopolitical disruption.

  • Passenger numbers were up 4.1% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2026 to 257.2 million

  • 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 3.9% to 37.6 million passengers in September
