Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport (FKB) is facing a record travel weekend: From July 25 to 29, 2024, the airport is expecting the biggest wave of travel of the year. Around 33.000 passengers are scheduled for this period on 191 scheduled flights. This increase in passenger numbers marks the peak of the summer travel season and underlines the unbroken popularity of the airport and the destinations it offers. This year, the focus is particularly on the Balearic island of Mallorca, which is once again the most popular travel destination. Mallorca tops the list of preferred travel destinations again this year. In the first five days of the travel period alone, 22 flights will take off to and from Mallorca. The island has been one of the main attractions for summer vacationers for years, which is reflected in the high number of flights. In addition to Mallorca, Alicante, Antalya, Barcelona-Girona, Belgrade, Fez, Heraklion (Crete), London-Stansted, Malaga and Porto are also on the list of the ten most popular destinations. Mallorca's continued popularity can be attributed to the island's diverse offerings, ranging from beautiful beaches to lively cities. The continued interest in Mallorca is also a sign of the airport's stability and success in high season. Increased passenger volume and new flight connections For the entire summer holiday period, which runs until September 7, 2024, the airport operators are forecasting more than 285.000 passengers on 1.661 flights. This represents an increase of around 10.000 passengers compared to the previous year, which already saw record numbers. In addition to the established flight connections, new routes are also contributing to this increase. New flight connections have been announced by Condor to Palma, among others.
