ARCHIVED - Corvera Airport passenger numbers increase by over 60 per cent on last year
The airport in Murcia got off to a strong start in 2023, seeing passenger numbers jump up by 63% this January
More and more passengers continue to use the International Airport of the Region of Murcia in Corvera, which replaced San Javier Airport as the Region’s international flight hub in 2019. The latest data, which corresponds to this January, shows that 22,171 passengers passed through the airport in the first month of 2023, a 63% increase on the same month of the previous year.
While that’s not exactly hard given that in January 2022 the air traffic was still lower than normal due to the Covid-19 pandemic, what’s even more noteworthy is that this January Corvera managed to surpass the 2019 pre-pandemic data for, with an increase of 9.5%. Again, though, it’s not exactly a fair comparison as the airport only began operating on January 15, 2019.
There was also an increase in the number of flights going in and out of Corvera Airport this January, with a total of 240 completed journeys marking an increase of 16.5% on last year.
The 22,171 passengers registered in January place Corvera airport as the 28th busiest airport in Spain, the same position it was in at the end of 2022. However, in terms of the number of flights, it is in the seventh lowest position among the 49 airports that make up the top ranking of airport manager Aena.
Corvera airport has offers on flights to the Canary Islands until March of this year with Binter, and on May 2 there will be routes beginning to London Luton and to Manchester in the UK.
The full and definitive roster of flight routes that will available from Corvera in summer 2023 has not yet been released, and the airport is still running a reduced number of flights for the low season.
In any case, we will still have to wait until the summer season to find out which destinations will be able to fly to from Corvera, as at the moment there is still a reduced offer for the low season.
