Despite the long queues awaiting flyers at Alicante-Elche airport taxi rank – which has led some users to say the system is in a state of collapse – Elche city hall is refusing to consider allowing drivers from other municipalities to pick up passengers.

The airport, which lies in Elche, still has no rail link.
“We are standing firm and it is only taxi drivers from Elche who can carry out this service,” he said.
