Question

Why are some flights into almeria airport (Spain) being redirected to Malaga?

Answer 1

It's all about getting bums on seats. The airlines want to maximize plane occupancy. Certain flights from the Uk often call to other airports within the Uk now to try to ensure that the planes are full. These flights are usually slightly cheaper than the direct flights but personally I don't think they are worth the hastle
