Corvera airport has still not found its way back to pre-pandemic levels. The arrival of the high season has barely served to improve last year’s figures, with 120,120 passengers registered in July, a year-on-year increase of just 2.3%, which is a reduction on the 2019 figures of -17.3%.
Although the number of flights managed increased by 0.5% compared to the same month in 2023 with 823 landing and takeoff operations, the trend is no more positive if we take into account the results accumulated during the first seven months of the year. During that time, the Murcia Region International Airport (AIRM) registered 16,593 passengers, which represents an increase of 3.8% compared to the same period in 2023 but it is still a significant decrease compared to its first year of operation, falling by 18.4%.
Of the total number of passengers registered up to July , 513,965 were commercial passengers. Of these, international traffic was again the majority, reaching 450,461 registered passengers, a figure that remains unchanged compared to the same period of the previous year.
The most notable increase continues to be that accumulated by the domestic market with 63,504 registered travellers during the first seven months of 2024, which represents an increase of 46.1% compared to the same period in 2023.
As for operations recorded between January and July, the Murcia airport managed a total of 3,996 flights, 4.1% more than in 2023.
