Inthenavy,
The restrictions have been relaxed to accommodate seasonal traffic, particularly in the summer. The airport has its own website.

I guess there will also be interest from the large number of Brits visiting the expanding resort of Torrevieja, which is about 22 kms from Murcia airport, but nearly 50kms from Alicante.
