Low cost airlines are top for Spanish tourists

Low-cost airlines are still the firm favourites among tourists travelling to Spain according to a recent survey by the Ministry of Tourism.

In July, some 6.9 million passengers passed through Spain’s airports, with a 10% rise in the numbers of those using budget airlines compared to just 3% more who used ‘traditional’ carriers such as BA or Iberia.

Overall, 58.4% of passengers took the cheap flight option.

In the first half of 2010, 32.4 million passengers arrived in Spain; an increase of 2.2% on 2009.

No-frills airlines transported 17.94 million of these.
