MURCIA'S new airport will be ready for commercial flights to operate from this December, although its actual launch date will depend upon when the various airlines running from it are ready to start.
Chairman of airports governing body AENA, Jaime García-Legaz, says the process of checking and signing off the various parts of the future Juan de la Cierva terminal for health, safety and completion will take several months, having started a week ago tomorrow (Saturday).
The next step will be drumming up interest from airlines.
This new terminal, in the village of Corvera near Murcia city, will replace the existing terminal in San Javier, closest to the Mar Menor coastal area and the town of Cartagena.
Corvera airport will not start to operate until the last plane has flown out of San Javier, García-Legaz confirms.
