ALICANTE-Elche airport has been breaking records yearly for passengers, with 14m passing through the airport in 2018 and 96,734 flights taking off or landing.
Technicians have estimated (or underestimated according to some experts) that by 2035, the airport will serve 17m passengers and 112,240 landings and take offs will take place; hence the Ministry of Development is studying where to build a second runaway to cope with the extra air traffic
