Up And Down

Alicante-Elche airport has recorded yet another record-breaking month for passengers easily passing the million mark for September, whilst the Murcia regional airport at San Javier, continues to flounder, though that’s unsurprising with a number of services choosing to use Alicante-Elche at its expense.

September’s returns for the facility at El Altet were just below one point one million passengers, a rise of four point six percent on September 2014, and that means that over the first nine months of 2015, Alicante-Elche airport had almost eight point three million passengers, an increase of three point eight percent on the same period in 2014, which in itself was a record-breaking year.

Fewer services meant fewer passengers at San Javier, with 138 thousand people using the airport in September, some four point four percent down on last year, with so far 908 thousand passengers going through the airport in the first nine months of 2015, a reduction of two point four percent on 2014’s figures.
