Statistics (2024)

Melilla Airport (IATA: MLN, ICAO: GEML) is an airport located in Melilla, an exclave of Spain in Africa. The only airport in Spanish territory on the African coast, it serves the Spanish autonomous city of Melilla, in North Africa. The airport is located about 4 km (2.5 mi) southwest of the city, near the border with Morocco. It currently ranks twenty-ninth at national level in terms of passenger numbers. It has the capacity to move up to 500,000 passengers and the annual average of passengers is around 490,000. In 2024 it reached 507,957 passengers. Currently, only one airline, Iberia Regional/Air Nostrum, operates commercial passenger flights from the airport to eleven Spanish cities: Almería, Asturias, Barcelona, Granada, Gran Canaria, Madrid, Málaga, Palma de Mallorca, Santiago de Compostela, Seville and Tenerife North. Between 1931 and 1967 Melilla was served by the Tauima Aerodrome (now the Nador International Airport), even when Morocco had gained its independence in 1956. This Spanish controlled airport did not open until 1969.
