Construction could start in the first quarter of 2008
The contract to build and manage the Murcia Region’s future international airport was signed on Tuesday, giving the 40 year management concession to Aeromur S.A. The company is a consortium of Sacyr, the Caja de Ahorros de Murcia, the Caja Mediterráneo, Grupo Corporative Fuertes, Montoro e Hijos, Cementos La Cruz and Inocsa Ingeniería.

The Regional President, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, said the new airport will triple the number of tourists who arrive in the Region, and will be key not only to tourism but also to Murcia’s economic growth.

Investment in the new installations in Corvera will exceed 2.5 billion €, with construction expected to start in the first quarter of 2008 for completion two years later.

Valcárcel announced that the airport will have an initial annual operating capacity of 1.5 million passengers, increasing to 5.2 million in 2015.

I have bought a property in Calasparra and am interested to know more about the new airport that is planned.
Where exactly is it to be located?
Is it too soon to know how frequently flights are planned from the U.K.?

Hi, I have seen the final plans. The runway is between Corvera golf 4.5km, haciencdo del alamo 3.5km, los martinez 2.3km and valledolosises 1.5km. The runway faces South West and the take off route is directly over Haciendo Del Alamo. The runway is 3km long and the airport is a 24 hour operation.
