Introduction
Melilla Airport is situated three kilometres southwest of the autonomous city, which, due to its privileged location, is the gateway to Africa, the continent that is the current focus of all the attention of the business and tourist sectors. Its air, sea and land connections make it the potential operations base for people searching for the commercial advantages of the African market without leaving the EU, and for tourists heading for Morocco who want to stay overnight in a European city.
In 2020 the airport handled 195,636 passengers, 5,158 flight operations and 32,1 tonnes of cargo traffic.
