figures Melilla airport still talking positively. August data show that there has been a 27.4% increase in passengers over the same month last year, with more than 32,000 passengers who flew or landed at our airport. Airport director, Joaquín Rodríguez, and said at the end of July, during the celebration of the 45th anniversary of the facilities, air traffic in our city was one of the highlights of its history, and the numbers give the reason.

Currently our city aircraft flying from three airlines, Air Nostrum, Iberia Airlines and Melilla, an unusual situation. In addition, the number of available destinations has also increased reaching up to nine, with the addition of flights to cities such as Seville and Badajoz.
