Business booming for low cost airlines.


Budget airlines see a big increase on the number of passengers heading to Spain for 2015.

Many are British holidaymakers cashing in on the strong pound in their pockets to grab some cut-price sun.

In the first quarter of 2015, low cost airlines transported over 8.6 million passengers to Spanish airports.

April saw 2.85 million Brits descending on Spain via low cost airlines, this represents a massive 33% year-on-year increase.

And with the pound standing strong, UK visitors are especially keen to reap the benefits. They account for the largest proportion of the budget airline bonanza.

Ryanair, Easyjet and Vueling make up 71% of all budget airline voyages to Spain.


British airline Easyjet recently announced that it would be slashing the price of 7,000 tickets to Spain to under €40 over the summer.
