Project Description
Ibiza Airport is the tenth busiest airport in Spain and the second busiest in the Balearic Islands, after Palma de Mallorca Airport.
In 2024, it handled over 9M passengers and operated 83,049 flights.
The purpose of the project was to regenerate the asphalt pavement of Ibiza Airport’s runway, which showed deterioration and detachment in the wearing course, as well as disintegration in localised areas of the intermediate layer.
To achieve this, the runway pavement was replaced to a depth of 6 cm along its full length (2,590.5 m) and width (45 m).
In addition, 28 cm of additional thickness were renewed in areas where the intermediate layer showed disintegration.
