Overview
- The official Aena data published Tuesday show the network handled about 37.67 million passengers in September and about 309.9 million from January through September 2026, both up year‑on‑year.
- Santiago‑Rosalía de Castro remained the weakest performer after a weeks‑long runway closure in spring, recording about 280,908 passengers in September and roughly a 28% drop in the January–September total.
- A Coruña’s Alvedro surpassed one million passengers in the first nine months of 2026 while Vigo was the only Galician airport to grow in September, underscoring a split inside the region.
- Granada and Córdoba posted notable year‑to‑date increases driven mainly by domestic services and seasonal airline scheduling rather than large international gains.
- Smaller and secondary airports showed extreme volatility with some big monthly swings such as Salamanca’s 69% fall, and Aena expects winter schedule changes and new or returning routes to shape the next reporting period.
