Malaga Airport makes history by reaching 25 million passengers

The Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport reached, at 1:30 PM this Friday, 25 million passengers, a record that has made history as it is the first time this number of travelers has been counted in a single year.

Representatives from the entire airport community celebrated this milestone with a family photo and a commemorative sign in the arrivals hall. Thus, Aena staff, airline employees, ground assistance companies, commercial and food service tenants, State Security Forces, and other groups involved in the day-to-day operations of the facilities joined together in a moment full of symbolism for everyone.

Passengers who were in the area at that time also participated, as the airport organized a tasting of the typical Malaga 'crazy cakes', customized with references to the milestone.

Since the beginning of 2025, the Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport has been breaking traffic records, reaching today's milestone, thanks to the dynamism maintained by both domestic and foreign traffic.

This evolution reflects the confidence that airlines continue to have in the potential of the territory served by the airport, but also Aena's commitment to offering quality infrastructure, with services and facilities continuously adapted to the needs of passengers and airlines.

An example of this is the investment of 1.5 billion euros that will be allocated, within the framework of the next DORA (2027-2031), to what will be the most ambitious expansion project of the Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport since 2010 - when T3 was inaugurated.
