The new airport Corvera in Murcia will be put into operation, most likely, after six months. The Spanish Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) approved the project by 80%. It is expected that the new airport will be commissioned in the spring or summer of 2013, according to themovechannel.com.
New airport in Murcia will take all commercial flights from current air station Murcia San Javier (1.2 million passengers per year). In addition, Corvera will relieve airport El Altet in Alicante.
