Over 600 flights during the first weekend of July at Malaga Airport

There is peak activity at Malaga Airport on the first weekend of July, with two days marked by more than 600 landings and takeoffs, according to data provided by Aena. From this Friday, this intense activity is already noticeable, with 61 airlines currently operating at this facility having scheduled 609 flights, of which 471 are to or from international airports.

This Saturday is expected to be the day with the fewest planes operating over the weekend, yet there are still 571 operations planned, of which, again, 471 are international connections. Currently, these facilities connect the Costa del Sol with 155 destinations worldwide.

And Sunday, the 6th, is shaping up to be the busiest day. There are 617 aircraft movements scheduled on the runways. This number does not exceed the operations recorded on this same day last year, which at the time was a historic high of 620 flights. Of the planned landings and takeoffs, 494 will connect with airports outside the borders.

1,798

are the flights scheduled for this first weekend of July, 29 more than last year.

Aena has counted 1,798 flights scheduled by airlines for this first weekend of July, 29 more than last year during the same period, marking another unprecedented record following the trend of indicators that this infrastructure provides month by month. Last weekend, which marked the start of the summer operation, none of the busy days reached 600 flights.

It is worth remembering that the airlines have scheduled the highest flight operation at Malaga Airport for this high season, which began with the time change in March and will end with the same action at the end of October. Nearly 21 million seats will be offered to fly to and from the Costa del Sol in the 114,000 flights that will land and take off from these facilities during this period. These figures represent a 10% increase in seats and an 8.2% increase over those finally operated in 2024.
