Aena has presented a major remodeling plan for Ibiza Airport to the Consell de Ibiza and social agents. Scheduled to begin in 2030, the project aims to modernize the terminal to meet European security and border control regulations without increasing flight volume.

Proposed upgrades include installing advanced automated security systems, constructing a new pier for non-Schengen flights with centralized passport control, and expanding the boarding lounge to 32 gates. The plan also seeks to increase the use of boarding bridges from 25% to 75% during peak seasons. 

Recent flight data indicates Ibiza Airport operated 429 flights on August 22, a slight decrease from the 440 flights recorded on the same day the previous year, following a general downward trend in flight operations across the Balearic Islands.
