IBIZA AIRPORT (IBZ) INFORMATION

Ibiza Airport serves two Balearic Islands, namely Formentera and Ibiza itself. The airport is situated just 4.3 miles/7.5 km out of Ibiza Town, the south-west of the city and is also close to San José; the destination is mainly used by tourists during the peak season, which runs from May to October.

IBZ offers mostly domestic air travel to Spanish mainland destinations such as Madrid, Barcelona and also to Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands. Inter-island traffic is a valuable addition to the year-round domestic scheduled flights. International air travel is mostly seasonal, although a few international connections do exist all year round.

Initially Ibiza airport was established as a temporary military airfield during the time of the Spanish Civil War. For a number of years it continued to operate as an emergency transport hub, but was later closed down in 1951.

When international tourism took off in Spain and the Balearics became a popular holiday destination, the airport was redeveloped as a commercial facility and on 1st April 1958 opened its gates to leisure and business passengers. Growing demand for air travel forced the airport to expand and redevelop several times. Last year the number of passengers handled by Ibiza Airport had increased to 8.1 million travellers, an 2.5% rise in tourist numbers from the previous year.
