Zaragoza Airport

Zaragoza Airport is regarded as an aerodrome for joint use as an air base and airport, as stipulated by Royal Decree 1167/1995 of 7 July. The airport is mainly used as a distribution centre for cargo, which has necessitated the specialization of its facilities (such as the extension of the area designated for cargo), as well as work on the passenger terminal.

The region is currently undergoing increasing industrial and economic development, with more and more industrial activities emerging, which will lead to a greater increase of air traffic, especially cargo traffic, with operations in a radius encompassing the major European airports. Added to this is the privileged location of the city of Zaragoza, at the centre of the north-eastern quadrant of the peninsula. This area has a total population of more than twenty million people within a three hundred kilometre radius and includes cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia, all of which have excellent road connections.

In 2002 the airport handled 228,557 passengers, 10,655 operations and 3,144 tons of cargo. More than sixty per cent of the passenger traffic relates to the scheduled domestic variety.
