Murcia Airport on the Costa Calida Spain
Murcia-San Javier Airport (IATA: MJV, ICAO: LELC) is located in San Javier,
17 miles south of Murcia. It is operated by Aena (Aeropuertos Españoles y
Navegación Aérea, or Spanish Airports and Aerial Navigation), the Spanish
airport authority. The airport can receive aircraft up to the size of Boeing
757 or 767. It has been declared fire category 5 by the IATA, and it has one
ambulance available. Because Murcia is a popular destination for charter
groups, the airport is served by a number of charter airlines.
Over the last few years, Murcia Airport has become busier, thanks to the
arrival of several low-cost airlines. According to Aena, passenger numbers have
jumped from just 88,608 in 1995 to 848,037 in 2004. Last year 1,645,886
