The Costa Azul bus network has announced the launch of a new direct service between Playa Flamenca and Alicante airport, which will run in addition to the express service that also operates from Torrevieja.
The service, which starts operations on the 1st July, will also collect and drop off at La Marina and Guardamar and will offer 4 services each way until 31st August.
The bus to the airport will depart the Mercadona roundabout at Playa Flamenca at 08:00, 10:30, 15:00 and 17:30, picking up at the bus station in Guardamar at 08:30, 11:00, 15:30 and 18:00, then at the Mercadona roundabout of La Marina at 08:40, 11:10, 15:40 and 18:10, before reaching the destination of Alicante´s El Altet airport at 09:10, 11:40, 16:10 and 18:40.
The service from the airport will depart at 09:15, 11:45, 16:15 and 18:45, taking around 30 minutes to reach La Marina, 40 minutes to reach Guardamar and just 70 minutes to reach Playa Flamenca.
This provisional service will be welcomed by many a resident and tourist alike and will provide a much more cost effective service from the airport, without the risk of using unlicensed and illegal taxis, which are also going to be facing further crack downs during the summer as licensed taxis from Orihuela city will be allowed to operate on the coast for the first time.
