Every year, Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) welcomes millions of passengers travelling to the Costa Blanca, making it one of Spain's busiest and fastest-growing international airports. Located just 9 km from Alicante city and serving popular destinations such as Benidorm, Calpe, Torrevieja, Altea, Jávea and Moraira, the airport has become the main gateway for holidaymakers from across Europe. Whether you're visiting for beaches, golf, cycling, business or long-term stays, Alicante Airport is designed to provide a fast, modern and efficient travel experience.
Although Alicante Airport originally had three terminals, today all commercial passenger flights operate from the modern NAT (Nueva Área Terminal), which opened in 2011. The terminal was built with an annual capacity of up to 20 million passengers, making it one of the largest airport terminals in southeastern Spain. The four-level building offers 96 check-in desks, 26 boarding gates, spacious departure lounges, duty-free shopping, restaurants, cafés, VIP lounges, car rental facilities and free Wi-Fi. Because everything operates from one main terminal, passengers find Alicante Airport easy to navigate, reducing walking distances and making connections straightforward.
Alicante Airport is one of Europe's leading leisure airports, with 43 airlines operating during the 2026 summer season and offering direct flights to more than 140 destinations across over 30 countries. Major airlines include Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, Vueling, Norwegian, Transavia, KLM, Eurowings and several others, connecting Costa Blanca with the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Scandinavia, France, Italy and many more destinations. The airport's strongest international markets continue to be the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands, reflecting the popularity of Costa Blanca among European holidaymakers.
Alicante Airport ranks among the busiest airports in Spain and continues to break passenger records thanks to the growing popularity of Costa Blanca tourism. Nearly 20 million passengers travelled through the airport during 2025, and traffic has continued to grow throughout 2026. The airport serves not only holidaymakers but also golfers, cyclists, digital nomads, business travellers and international property owners who regularly visit the region. Its modern infrastructure, efficient single-terminal layout, expanding route network and continuous investment have made Alicante Airport one of the Mediterranean's most important transport hubs, with further expansion planned to support future demand.
