Andorra-La Seu d'Urgell Airport recorded a new annual high of 19,160 passengers in 2025, an 18% increase from 16,188 the previous year, according to figures released by Aeroports de Catalunya.

The airport also saw operations rise 15% to 6,187, up from 5,396 in 2024. Officials attribute the growth to regular flights to Palma and Madrid, which run twice weekly and have boosted overall activity at the facility.

To meet rising demand, Aeroports de Catalunya plans to expand hangar space starting this year. The project will add nine new hangars on a 7,200-square-metre plot. Currently, all 19 allocated hangars are either occupied or under construction.

In related developments, the airport reached an agreement with paragliding operators from Organyà to coordinate activities. The deal, worked out with the DGAC, AESA, and Federació Aèria Catalana, will introduce air traffic control from summer 2026.

The GRAE has also begun building new facilities at the site, aiming to base 45 personnel there.

For context, the other airport managed by the Generalitat, Lleida-Alguaire, posted even stronger gains: 53,848 passengers—a 36% jump—and a record 42,207 operations, up 50% from 2024.
