Castellon

[wowzz]

I think part of the problem is that there are so many Spanish airports that are basically defunct, that it is difficult to know which thread to use. Perhaps a new one entitled - 'Aeropuertos terminados' ?

Apologies for taking this thread out of hibernation, but does Castellon airport have any prospect of seeing commercial passenger traffic (scheduled or charter) in the next 2 years or so ?

I doubt it. With the Valencia Region awaiting a 3.5bn Euro bailout, the new 26bn Euro hospital still not open some three years after completion, and an unemployment level of 27%, I think the airport would be low down on any priority list. But there again, we are taking about Spain.

Spain to close up to 30 state-run airports - Telegraph

That's the latest I read about the Spanish airports, maybe a news search can help to find out what has happened since to these closure plans (despite being not an Aena airport, Castellon is mentioned in article).

Just wondering whether "closure" is actually the correct word when talking about an airport where never a single plane has landed.

I have a feeling that this thread could well be combined with the Corvera thread in due course !
It would be funny but for the money involved, plus of course for those whose land was 'requisistioned' for the airport and are still waiting for payment.

Says it all really...
Happy Birthday Castellon Airport !

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.
