Airport HistoryEst. 1958
Ibiza Airport began as a Spanish Civil War-era military airfield known as 'Es Codolá' before opening briefly to civil traffic in 1949; sustained commercial service did not begin until 1958. Fueled by the Mediterranean tourism boom, the airport expanded steadily through the 1960s-1980s, gaining 24-hour international operations in 1966, and today serves as the critical air gateway for Ibiza's tourism- and nightlife-driven economy.
The former military airfield 'Es Codolá' opens to civil traffic by ministerial order, though it lacks proper facilities and closes again within two years.
Spanish carrier Aviaco starts scheduled flights to Palma and Barcelona, soon followed by Iberia routes, marking the start of sustained commercial operation.
The airport begins round-the-clock international operations on July 15, 1966, a pivotal step in its development as a tourism gateway.
A new passenger terminal building opens, a major modernization supporting the growing package-tourism trade to the island.
Between 1984 and 1985 the passenger terminal undergoes complete remodeling, with runways previously upgraded to accommodate Boeing 747 aircraft.
Check-in areas and passenger lounges are extended to keep pace with rapidly rising seasonal tourist demand.
