Ibiza Airport began its operations as a military base
The airport was first established as a temporary military airport during the Spanish Civil War and was kept open for emergency use after the end of the civil war. The airport was used to carry out domestic and international tourist flights in 1949, but was closed in 1951 due to its insufficient infrastructure.
In 1958, the reopening of the airport came to the fore upon the rapid development of the tourist market in the Balearic Islands, especially in neighboring Majorca. Ibiza airport was reopened on April 1, 1958 to operate flights to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid that year. At the end of the 1990s, the airport reached up to 3,6 million passengers per year. After this intensity, the facilities were renewed until 2000, and improvements to the runway, taxiway, apron and terminal were carried out.
In 2011, the airport hosted 5,6 million passengers and approximately 61.000 aircraft, an increase of 11,9% compared to 2010.
