Malaga airport expects fewer flights this Easter than in 2025

Málaga Airport expects a quieter Easter week in terms of aircraft movement compared to last year. Data provided by Aena indicates that there will be 5,996 flights, compared to 6,040 during the same period in 2025. Of the landings and takeoffs scheduled by the 51 airlines currently connecting the Costa del Sol with 144 cities around the world, 4,780 are international flights, while 1,216 are to or from Spanish airports.

Aena's report suggests that the start of this year's first vacation period will be felt on Friday, the 27th, with 496 flights, compared to the 566 that marked the start in 2025.
