Jet2 & New Airport

Jet2.com backing new airport to commence November 2012

Senior members of staff from the North's leading leisure airline, Jet2.com, met with the Murcia regional Government and visited the brand new Regional Murcia International Airport – situated approximately 19 kilometres from Murcia City and 28 kilometres from the Costa Calida coast.

Jet2.com is keen to ensure a continuity of flights to the region for its customers when San Javier Airport is expected to close its doors to passenger operations in 2012. Jet2.com urged the regional Government and the new airport team to ensure minimum passenger disruption by delaying the airport switchover until after the summer season, in November – thus enabling customers to make their travel plans for next year. 

The airline has expanded

Hopefully this wil mean few more bloody flights Oct-March. I cant be doin with Alicante!

Does anyone know if it is a certainty that San Javier is to close? They have just invested a lot of money upgrading the departures area and the car parks and I can't imagine they would do that if they were to close! I see on the Ryanair website they are still offering flights there during next summer and I did hear that there is a campaign to keep the airport open.

Yes San Javier is definatley closing all that is not known is when in 2012 but sensibly it will be after the busy summer period

I live less than 5km from the new airport, run a property management company and have a number of the airport setup ream renting from me so I have good sources of information
