MALAGA AIRPORT: Passenger traffic has increased Credit: Caron Badkin/shutterstock
DESPITE the problems with air‐ line cancellations and strikes affecting both Ryanair and EasyJet, Malaga Airport en‐ joyed a continued increase in passenger traffic. Management company AE‐ NA announced on July 12 that the number of passengers who passed through the air‐ port in June was 1,907,290 which equates to 92.8 per cent of the total of passengers trav‐ elling in June 2019. Across Spain, only Madrid, Barcelona and Palma Mallorca saw larger numbers of passen‐ gers which shows that the Cos‐
ta del Sol is still a major magnet for holiday and business trav‐ ellers. Although the number of international travellers far ex‐ ceeds those on internal flights, the number of passengers travelling from airports in Spain has remained very close
to the June 2019 figures and there is still room for overseas numbers to increase in the summer months. All in all, the figures will be encouraging to all businesses that rely on holi‐ daymakers.
