Barcelona-El Prat weekly traffic comparison (BCN)
The weekly comparison tells you whether El Prat was busier or more punctual last week than the week before. It sets the latest two consecutive Monday-to-Sunday weeks against each other: how many flights were recorded, how many arrived, left or were cancelled, what share ran early, on time or late, and how many airlines and routes were active. A week joins only after its Sunday has ended.
Airline identity coverage: 5588 physical movements; 0 with verified marketing identity, 0 with verified operator identity, 4876 named by the legacy directory and 712 unconfirmed. Airline statistics use the marketing identity where verified. Unconfirmed movements remain included in airport totals.
Two consecutive complete weeks are not available yet
The recorded data contains 4 provider-verified complete days in total. After excluding the current week, 0 complete days are eligible for weekly pairing, and 0 complete Monday-to-Sunday weeks are available. Two consecutive complete weeks are required before a comparison is published.

The nine measures, week against week
Both weeks are built the same way: Barcelona local days, and only days with arrivals and departures fully covered. The totals come first, flights, arrivals, departures and cancellations, then the number of active airlines and routes. The early, on-time and delayed shares follow once each week has at least 100 measured flights, and the three always add up to 100%. A flight whose airline has not been identified yet still counts in the totals. Both terminals are added together, so an airline moving between T1 and T2 does not change the totals.
Reading a change from one week to the next
The difference between two weeks comes from what the airlines scheduled and what actually flew. A single unusual day, a strike or a storm, can tip a whole week; when one stands out, open it in the flight archive. Seasonal questions, summer against winter, need the historical statistics once enough dates are recorded.
Travel tips
- When one weekday drags a week down, open that date in the archive and look for cancellations.
- When the airline count changes, look in the archive for the airline that flew in one week and not in the other.
- Read arrivals and departures as well as the total: when only one of them moves, look for the day in the archive.
