PASSENGER numbers travelling to or from Almeria Airport have shot up by just over 11 per cent in the first six months of 2024. According to AENA which runs the airport, it handled 369,585 passengers, but the actual increase in numbers is down to domestic travellers rather than international. Compared to the same period in 2023, the number of domestic passengers was up 32.7 per cent at 238,648 but international travel was down by 13.9 per cent with just 129,219 international passengers. Whilst the Almeria Provincial Council is travelling Europe trying to find new tourists and encouraging them to visit, it seems that for one reason or another the Spanish are once again in love with Almeria but the rest of Europe isn’t quite so supportive. As should perhaps be expected travellers from the UK totally outnumber those from other EU destinations
