ENAIRE surpasses the 2.1-million-flight mark in 2019

ENAIRE completed a historic year with a total of 2,149,648 flights managed, a figure that is 2.4% higher than in 2018, a year that was already the busiest up to that point.

This growth positions Spain above the European average, which stands at 0.9% annually.

All types of flights continue to increase:  overflights, 4.8%; domestic flights, 3.8%; and international flights, 1.1%

All types of flights increased over the past 12 months, with overflights (those that do not land at or take off from a Spanish airport) growing the most, by 4.8% (465,279).

Domestic flights are up 3.8% (434,417). International flights totalled 1,249,952, a 1.1% increase over 2018.
