More people flying to Spain
Thursday March 13th , 2008
The amount of air traffic to and from Spain has gone up in the last year, according to new figures.
Data from the Civil Aviation Authority revealed that passenger numbers on Spanish flights went up by 600,000 in 2007.
This is 1.8 per cent higher than the figure recorded a year earlier and is one of the largest increases in the whole of Europe.
A similar trend was observed in Italy, which saw passenger numbers go up by six per cent.
This suggests that the two countries are still two of the most popular destinations for holidaymakers from the UK.
As a result, they could be good destinations for overseas property buyers to consider, as this means there are good transport links with Britain and demand for rental accommodation.
Earlier this week, low-cost airline easyJet revealed that Malaga and Alicante are set to attract lots of British tourists over the Easter season.
