The fifth busiest airport in Spain

During September, 944,278 passengers used the airport at Alicante making it the fifth busiest terminal in the country. British tourism, Easyjet, Air Berlin and the introduction of flights by Ryanair have all contributed to the growth of el Altet putting it ahead of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.

Extensions to the airport will continue.  150 million euros has been allocated to the project for next year. The new terminal is expected to be completed by 2012 at a total cost of 526 million euros.  However, by 2010, the airport plans to start using the new terminal and car park.
