DURING the first half of this year, 2.9 per cent more passengers used Palma Airport compared to the same period last year.
The total number amounted to 9.54 million people, and there were 74,747 flights operated at Palma Airport, 3.3 per cent more than in the first six months of last year.
April and May saw passenger figures rise to levels which have never been seen before.

In June alone, 3.03 million passengers used the airport and three were 21,071 flights operated. Both figures are lower than last year, but that is because in June 2014 there were more Sundays, one of the busiest days.
