The high season has started at Alicante-Elche Airport, and the first big challenge is approaching Easter.
From April to October, the airline will offer 226 routes to 135 airports in 120 cities across 30 countries, operated by over 30 airlines.
After two months of record-breaking flight numbers and a busy March expected to break more records, the airport is ready for a large influx of travellers. During Easter, airlines have scheduled 360,000 seats to the Costa Blanca.
A third of these seats will come from the United Kingdom, the region’s largest market, with about 120,000 seats. The UK is well-connected with Alicante, with flights to four London airports and other cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast. The new Jet2 base at London-Luton has also increased service, adding a new route to Bournemouth.The Netherlands is another key market, with 22,000 seats expected for Easter. Germany follows closely behind, with 19,000 seats across 15 routes to cities like Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and Nuremberg. Norway and Belgium round out the list, each with 16,000 seats available.
