Barajas faces the holiday weekend with nearly 5,000 scheduled flights

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport expects 4,908 flights between this Friday and Monday, 2 November, a 6.39% increase compared to the same period in 2025. Friday will be the busiest day, while Saturday will see the least activity.

In 2025, Todos los Santos fell on a Saturday, a calendar change that sets the comparison with this long weekend.

Between this Friday and Monday 2 November, airlines have scheduled 4,908 flights at Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas. That’s 295 more than during the same days last year, when there were 4,613 operations, according to Aena sources cited by Europa Press.

Friday will be the busiest day, with 1,284 flights planned. For Monday, 1,244 operations are scheduled. Sunday has 1,227, and Saturday will see 1,153, the lowest of the period.

Travel over the long weekend also includes extra buses to cemeteries provided by EMT for Todos los Santos.

Aena warns that the schedule may change depending on airline operations and any situations that arise.
