These figures consolidate the full recovery of the aviation sector in Catalonia. So far this year, the Barcelona facilities have welcomed 7.7 million people, up 3.4% from the same period in 2025. The main driver of this growth was the international market, which saw a 5.8% rise.

In the Girona region, Girona Airport also showed positive dynamics. The Aena-managed site recorded 41,000 passengers, a 5.6% increase compared to February last year.

In contrast to international success, domestic flights within Spain suffered a slight 2% decrease at El Prat. However, cargo transport had an exceptional month with 17,800 tonnes handled, a 24% increase year-on-year.
