Balearic airports breaking records By Steve Walsh The major airports of the Balearics handled a record number of passengers in April, with a total of nearly 1.75 million people travelling through the likes of Palma de Mallorca. The exact number of 1,741,570 travellers and tourists passing through the gates, denotes an increase of 2.4 per cent year-on-year, and crowns
a 13-month steady rise in passenger numbers. AENA, the Spanish aviation body, said aircraft movements had also increased by 2 per cent over the period adding an extra 13,943 flights. In a breakdown of the figures, the study also showed that a 7.1 per cent increase in national flights was registered, as well as the fact that 1,272,238 passengers were from international destinations.
