Murcia (Corvera) Airport
A second international airport option to the south, a similar drive from the coast.
Región de Murcia International Airport at Corvera opened in 2019, replacing the old San Javier airport, and gives the area a useful second arrival point. Ryanair flies from Birmingham, Dublin, Stansted and Manchester, and easyJet from Bristol, Gatwick and Luton.
It sits south-west of the resort toward Murcia. Alicante usually has more flights, but Corvera is worth checking when the route or fare fits your trip better.
