Ibiza Airport
Ibiza Airport
Ibiza Airport (IATA: IBZ, ICAO:
LEIB) (Catalan: Aeroport d'Eivissa, Spanish: Aeropuerto de Ibiza) is the
international airport serving the Balearic Islands of Ibiza and Formentera in
Spain located 7 km (4.3 mi) southwest of Ibiza Town. As the island is a major
European holiday destination, it features some year-round domestic services as
well as several dozen seasonal routes to cities across Europe. It is also used
as a seasonal base for Vueling.
History
1940–1989
The airport was first established
as a temporary military airport during the Spanish Civil War, and remained open
after the conflict for use as an emergency airport. In 1949 the site was used
to operate some domestic and international tourist flights, but was then closed
in 1951.
It was not until 1958 that work
commenced to re-open the airport in reaction to the rapid development of the
tourist market in the Balearic Islands, particularly in neighbouring Majorca.
The airport was reopened on 1 April 1958 with the first destinations during
that year including Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid.
1990 to date
The airport was expanded
progressively over the subsequent decades with runway, taxiway, apron and
terminal enhancements designed to cope with the growing air tourist market
which by the late 1990s was generating over 3.6 million passengers a year at
the airport.
In 2011 the airport provisionally
handled over 5.6 million passengers and around 61,000 aircraft movements, an
increase of 11.9% and 8.4% respectively compared with 2010.
