Reus Airport closed April with 129,898 passengers, 11.2% more than in the same month of the previous year, in a start to the season that also increased air activity at the Baix Camp facility.

The data leaves a striking difference between travelers and operations. While commercial traffic grows strongly at the Reus airport, the total volume of flights in the first four months reached 6,730, 16.2% more, driven by operational activity that is advancing even above the increase in accumulated passengers.

Reus added 145,594 travelers until April and 6,730 flights in the quarter

In the cumulative total of the first four months of 2026, the infrastructure reached 145,594 passengers. The figure represents an increase of 18.7% compared to the same period of the previous year.

At the same time, the airport operated 6,730 flights during that first four-month period. Of that total, 2,497 movements corresponded to the month of April alone.

Most of the annual passenger volume was concentrated precisely in April. That month alone absorbed 129,898 of the 145,594 travelers counted since January.

Barcelona-El Prat surpassed 5.1 million passengers and Girona reached 173,931

In the Catalan network as a whole with data from April, Barcelona-El Prat airport remained at a great distance from the rest of the facilities. The Barcelona infrastructure registered 5,103,478 passengers and 32,057 operations.

Also Girona-Costa Brava was positioned above Reus in number of travelers during April, with 173,931 passengers and 2,726 aircraft movements. The comparison leaves Reus below Girona in monthly volume of users, although with relevant activity at the start of 2026.

Further in terms of passenger figures, Sabadell airport managed 652 passengers in April. In that same month, it reached 6,582 operations, a volume much higher than that of travelers due to the activity profile of the Vallesana facility.

In April, Reus concentrated 2,497 flights, while Girona-Costa Brava registered 2,726 aircraft movements and Barcelona-El Prat reached 32,057 operations.
