Open for business
Castellon airport has been given its operating licence by the Spanish authorities and the first flight landed last week - a Robinson R44 from a nearby flying club.
The airport will be operated by SNC-Lavalin a Canadian company under a 20 year contract from the Valencian government. Full commercial operations are due to commence in March next year and the airport hopes to handle 35,000 passengers in 2015 although no scheduled or charter services have yet been announced.
