Corvera Airport hits six-million passengers, adds Liverpool and Amsterdam routes

Region de Murcia International Airport (RMU) reached the six-million passenger mark since opening in January 2019, a milestone highlighted by tourism chief Juan Francisco Martinez and airport director Carlos Sanmartin during a Ryanair arrival from Dublin. The airport will expand its network with Easyjet introducing twice-weekly flights to Liverpool and Transavia adding three-weekly flights to Amsterdam Schiphol. In the first eight months of the year, the region attracted 298,642 British tourists, whose spending totaled €374.3 million, and 69,254 Dutch visitors, who spent €118.7 million.

Aena’s data show RMU handled 709,319 passengers between January and August, more than double the 4.1 % growth seen across Spain’s airport network, with international flights representing almost 90 % of traffic. The growth underscores Murcia’s record-breaking foreign tourism season, which saw 949,861 international visitors spending €1.25 billion.
