## Description

Two million passengers against 6.6 tonnes of cargo: the 2025 figures place Asturias Airport (OVD/LEAS) firmly in the passenger category rather than the freight one, despite its Aena-operated international status in northern Spain. The airport set an all-time record of 2,051,342 passengers in 2025 and handled 15,783 aircraft movements, up 2.0% year on year, while its reported air cargo throughput was negligible. It serves the Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés conurbation in the Principality of Asturias; no dedicated cargo terminal, freighter operation or specialised pharma and perishables capacity is confirmed, which explains the tonnage level. Anyone planning air freight to or from Asturias therefore works with a road leg: Madrid-Barajas (MAD), Spain's main cargo gateway, is roughly 450 km to the south, Bilbao (BIO) about 300 km east and Santiago de Compostela (SCQ) about 300 km west. For heavy and high-volume consignments, the nearby seaport of El Musel in Gijón handles breakbulk, dry bulk and container traffic and sits around half an hour away by road. In practice OVD is the region's passenger gateway, while actual freight logistics runs over road, seaport and the larger Spanish hubs.
