Aragon: Producing Inland and Reaching the Market Quickly

Aragon’s advantage lies not only in what it manufactures or processes, but in how it moves it. Its infrastructure network allows it to connect the Ebro Axis with the Mediterranean Arc and the Atlantic Arc, relying on major routes A-2, A-23, and A-68. Aragon Logistics Platform summarizes this strength with a very useful fact: from the region, more than 80 weekly rail freight connections operate with Barcelona, Valencia, and Bilbao, and over 21 weekly cargo flights with Mexico, Europe, and parts of Asia.

The Zaragoza Airport is another critical component; according to AENA data from the end of 2025, it closed the year with over 182,800 tons of cargo, and in October 2025, it registered a monthly record of 22,010 tons, remaining among the top three cargo airports in the Spanish network.
Furthermore, the airport itself already has five cargo terminals, with a sixth under construction.

For rail transport, Zaragoza PLAZA acts as a major inland hub. Adif identifies the Zaragoza PLAZA logistics facility as a terminal operated by CSP Iberian Zaragoza Rail Terminal, and Aragon Logistics Platform positions it as a major railway hub in Southern Europe.
Added to this is the development of the Cantabrian-Mediterranean corridor and Adif’s investments in the Zaragoza-Teruel-Sagunto axis, which are key to reinforcing the outflow of goods towards the Levante region.

This connectivity is not abstract. It is reflected in the establishment and scale of large industrial and consumer companies. BSH Electrodomésticos España was Zaragoza’s highest-earning company in 2023, with 1,545.7 million euros; SAICA exceeded 1,107.3 million; and Stellantis Zaragoza produced 371,783 vehicles in 2024, according to its environmental declaration.

In Aragon, industrial competitiveness is not solely explained by the business fabric. It is also due to the real ease of entry and exit of goods.
