Thanks Seat62. I still think a hotel on site would make money.

Thanks GnRdl - I saw it in the local freebies. Hope they do it to Corvera if it ever opens.

GnrdL,

Thank you for your valuable posts on Alicante Airport. I hope the airport prospers and justifies the investment; Fortune Favours the Brave in these troubled times. I live in the mountains behind Denia but the thought of using the train from Denia to Alicante is laughable since it is drawn by the retired white mice from Cinderalla's coach.

There has been a campaign for years to put a decent rail link between Valencia and Alicante serving the prosperous coastal towns. The thought of being able connect by rail to either Valencia or Alicante airports is attractive and, despite the taxi operators opposition, would be a financial boost for the region. My information on this is poor, can you tell us something?

Why there are no buses to early morning flights to Alicante airport? The first bus from city is at 6:30 and arrives to airport when a bunch of Ryanair flights have already left.

Well, maybe you have seen, read or heard before.

Adif - Plan de Cercanías para Valencia

In the video link, you'll notice a project for a line between Valencia and Alicante on the coast with stop in Denia (min. 3:10 - 3:28).

Due to the bad economic situation, all the railway projects for 2010-2020 in Community of Valencia are stand by, except the new double railway between Alicante and Torrellano (with a stop at the airport).

Last year, I contacted the bus company that performs the service. I proposed to extend the hours during morning and evening periods. They were interested and asked me detailed information on the early morning flights and the latest arrivals. But there was no response. I spent most of my time in nothing...

Thanks for that GNrdl,
I had not seen that before; So it is the motorway and the car park for the rest of my travelling days!

Not so clever

Shame about the non-NOTAM'ed runway WIP. Hundreds of pax bags left behind last week as a result. ALC management are not so clever after all. (At least some of them)

[N707ZS]

Wanted

Low cost airline to fly between Durham Tees Valley airport and Alicante three or four times a week. Passengers waiting, sick of having to travel to NCL or LBA. 90% loads on most flights in 2010.

Please contact DTVA managment.

Currently the runway is shortened to 2380 meters until the start of the summer season. I think is enough for most flights.

I hope to see a low cost service soon... DTV was working very well.

FR:
ALC-Brno (Czech Republic) 2 times weekly from end of March
ALC-STN twice daily, ALC-LBA daily, ALC-MAN 9 weekly and ALC-PMI 12 weekly
Ryanair abre una nueva ruta con Brno y aumenta sus frecuencias con Reino Unido. europapress.es

Maybe a 10th a/c will arive?

Yes, I think. I don't see other way.

Also Jet2 increases Manchester (7x/w => 9x/w) and Newcastle (4x/w => 6x/w).

[GnRdL]

Alicante:
Ryanair will reinforce their operations only in July with an additional aircraft (eleven, if I am right). Additional frequencies to BLL, ORK, BVA, CRL, NRN, GSE, NYO, HAU, RYG or TRF and the temporary reopening of AAR (it seems).

Charters by sports teams that they make their "preseason" on the Costa Blanca and/or Costa Calida. One Yak-42 was for (if I am correct) the CSK Moscow (RusJet Aircompany). The other that you mention (Tulpar Air), I don't know exactly, but it could be for the Mercedes Training that is being carried out between February and March. The Tu-154 of today must be the Rubin Kazan (the team is here now).
