Jan ⁠13 (Reuters) - Aena's ⁠Spanish ‍airports chalked up 321.6 million passengers in 2025, marking a ‍third consecutive annual record, the company said ​on Tuesday.

The number of passengers travelling through ​its Spanish airports represented a 3.9% increase from 2024, surpassing the company's February forecast of 320 million.

The ​gains underscore Spain's continued appeal as a European tourism hub even as ​the global airline industry grapples with aircraft delivery delays, labor ‌shortages and rising operational costs that have constrained capacity growth elsewhere.

Madrid's Adolfo ​Suarez Barajas remained the ⁠busiest airport in Spain, followed by Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat ‌and Palma de Mallorca, the operator said.

Aena noted that it is currently developing its ‌investment plan for the 2027-2031 period to accommodate increasing ‌demand.

"Traffic records from recent years are a clear indication of this need and of the situation ‍that will arise in the coming years in terms of ⁠infrastructure," the company said in its statement.

The company did not provide an updated outlook for 2026.
