After having the greatest start to the year ever, it has surpassed 2023’s passenger numbers by 17% with 18.4 million, and the first month of 2025 has not far behind. The expansion of the Alicante terminal is surpassing the 2024 average for Spanish airports, which was 9%, and solidifying its standing as a national standard.

Balance 2024 and prospects 2025’, which was prepared by the Alicante Chamber of Commerce and Cajamar, nine out of ten foreign passengers who arrived at the terminal did so with a low-cost firm.
The number has increased by 17% since 2023, with over seven million passengers arriving on low-cost carriers. Furthermore, with 10.9% of the country’s total passenger traffic, the Alicante terminal is already the fourth-highest airport in Spain for businesses of this kind, trailing only Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, and Malaga.
