Zaragoza: a quiet hub driving air freight… and where Bestway makes a difference

Cargo en Aeropuerto de Zaragoza

Zaragoza Airport has established itself as one of the most powerful logistics hubs in the country, and at Bestway Zaragoza Forwarding we are experiencing this evolution first-hand. Its operational capacity, 24/7 availability and strategic location, connecting the main economic centres of the Iberian Peninsula and southern France within a 300 km radius, have placed it among the top three cargo airports in Spain.

In 2025, the airport achieved historic figures: 182,886 tonnes handled, and the best December in its history with 16,863 tonnes, a year-on-year growth of 28.2%. This performance confirms Zaragoza’s role as a key player in national and European air cargo.

All this is helping Zaragoza to consolidate its position as a multi-product air hub, capable of handling everything from industrial cargo to live animals, driven by new infrastructure such as the 18,500 m² terminal planned for 2026 and the recent installation of Swissport, which reinforce its capacity and operational efficiency. In this growing environment, the role of the local freight forwarder is key: it acts as a logistics architect, optimising routes, customs and times.

At Bestway Zaragoza Forwarding, this specialisation translates into a clear commitment to operating from Zaragoza whenever possible, thanks to the efficiency and agility it offers, and the ability to provide alternative solutions when operations require it. Added to this is a distinguishing feature of the airport: its ramp speed, with cargo handling in less than 90 minutes and 24/7 availability, which enhances the competitiveness of the logistics chain.

All of this puts Zaragoza on an upward trajectory to establish itself as a benchmark in southern Europe, a momentum that Bestway is proud to be part of.
