Summer´s airport

Very busy in the summer "El Altet" ALC (Alicante, Spain), with all the tourist travelling to the sun and the beach, almost looks like a large airport.



You can even see any big plane as this Monarch Airline Airbus A330.

Amazed how much traffic can bear without much trouble...

big stuff at ALC

very nice video thanks,

alicante used to get much bigger w/b aircraft in the 70's and 80's...

Photo: D-ADPO (CN: 46595) Condor McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 by Manuel Marin - JetPhotos.Net

DC-10 regulars were Spantax Scanair Laker Bcal-ch/Calair/Novair and Condor & possibly Finnair & Monarch ones too
Conair/premiair which came out of Scanair...

British Airtours/Caledonian Peachair & LTU Tristars (and Court line too 1973-4) plus aload of Swedish and Icelandic ones

747's i think Condor and Aer Lingus were seen (they def went to Palma, so did BOAC's 747's)

767's were regulars starting with Britannia & Braathens in 1984

a330-300's of LTU started many years ago

before the wide bodies started you saw many 707's and DC-8's of many airlines...often stretched DC8-63 series

also BA Super VC-10 in 1974/5 operating charters for Northeast(was BKS)
