Murcia runway to open

San Javier Airport is one of the most popular airports used by British travellers and holidaymakers. Currently, San Javier shares its one runway with the Spanish Air Force which restricts flying times.  However, from March 2009 it will have its second runway open according to an announcement made by Rafael Gonzalez, the government’s representative in Murcia

At the moment, 23 international flights and five domestic flights are available from San Javier e.g. Ryanair is based at San Javier. The airport is also popular with Jet2, easyJet and Air Berlin. Last year, almost two million passengers used San Javier of which 85% were British.

We prefer San Javier to Alicante because it is an easier drive to get there and parking close to departures/arrivals is never a problem. On the downside though, it is much smaller and has few facilities once you are in the departure lounge.
