The boom continues uninterrupted in 2026. In January 2026, Malaga Airport recorded 1,440,295 passengers, ranking 3rd among the busiest airports in Spain. Compared to January 2025, this represents an increase of 5.1%.
This is something of a small sensation, as it is the first time in a January that Malaga Airport has handled more passengers than Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Airport, which now ranks 4th. Clearly, Malaga and the Costa del Sol are overtaking the holiday island of Gran Canaria as a winter destination.
With our Malaga Airport special coverage, we certainly play our part in this development. Our airport webcam, combined with a weather station and multiple ADS-B antennas, provides passengers with real-time data — an indispensable service.
With 30 live weather webcams and weather stations across the Costa del Sol and Andalusia, we at meteo365.es are likely the most important real-time weather channel in our home market.
