Methodological note

The movement of aircraft and goods measures all flights on scheduled, unscheduled flights, and other types of traffic provided by national or foreign companies.

Movement of goods means the tonnes transported on regular or charter flights, also considering transit cargo. It represents the freight which pays on a particular flight and is calculated once in national and international goods classifications.

Scheduled traffic is understood as a commercial air service with a fixed schedule which occurs regardless of the number of passengers who are flying on the plane.

Unscheduled traffic (or charter) is understood as a commercial air service carried out by means of remuneration where the operation is not reported as a regular service.

Other types of traffic include commercial traffic, which cannot be considered as regular or charter, and non-commercial traffic (include the operations related to the movement of military aircraft, of the State, private, and aerial work).

The Catalonia data includes the movement of aircrafts and goods in the airports of Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat, Girona-Costa Brava, Reus and Lleida-Alguaire. Since the month of February 2015, the data on the Lleida-Alguaire airport has been provided by Airports of Catalonia.

From January 2016, data of passengers, aircrafts and goods are actualized from the Estadísticas de tráfico aéreo published by AENA. This source change involves the review of all published periods up to this date. This review allows for the addition of new information linked with the movements of other types of traffic.
