Private Aviation in 2020 in Spain. Part 6

The Balearic Islands accounted for almost 30% of the total number of departures by private aircraft registered in Spain in 2020, ranking first among Spanish Autonomous Regions for this traffic segment.

They therefore deserve an individualised analysis as they are also representative of the behaviour of this business model in our country, where traffic flows are fundamentally incoming.

This mode of transport in the region has decreased somewhat less than the average for our country and notable differences can be detected between the evolution of Ibiza, which registered the greatest fall in the number of flights (-30.8%) and Menorca, which only fell -6.8% compared to 2019. Nevertheless, such falls are in no way comparable to the -66.87% of Palma, the -60.77% of Ibiza or the -54.05% of Menorca registered by AENA for commercial aviation in the Balearic Islands.

Overall, flights from the Balearic Islands to destinations in Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom accounted for 45.74% of the total departures registered throughout 2020, with uneven trends that even show a slight increase in flights from Ibiza to German airports. The prominence of certain destination countries depending on the island of origin also stands out. Flights to other European destinations account for 21.78% of all departures, ranking second in terms of importance.

Third place is occupied by flights to destinations within Spain (excluding inter-island flights), which account for 16.22% of the total, with similar contributions from each island.

Private flight departures for inter-island flights within the Balearic Islands accounted for 14.75% of the total number of flights recorded over the past year, with this segment accounting for no less than 45.15% of the total volume of private flight departures from Mahón airport (Menorca).
