Figures for passenger numbers for 2007 just released show an increase of 19.3% over 2006. This represents just under 6 million in 2007 against 5 million in 2006.
This now rates Valencia as the 8th busiest airport in Spain whilst only 3 years ago it was 13th.
The increase is attributed to the low cost airlines, but comes with a downside! As a result of the passenger increase it will almost certainly be upgraded in status necessitating more security controls in line with larger airports and with it increased security taxes.
