Alicante-Elche Airport ALCLEAL

Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC) is best understood as a high-volume Costa Blanca leisure airport rather than a classic alliance hub. Aena reports 19.95 million passengers in 2025 and says around 85% of passenger flights are international, with the UK, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway among key origin markets. It has broad European point-to-point coverage and many low-cost/leisure operators, including Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling, Jet2, Norwegian, Wizz Air and TUI, plus some network carriers, but it is not a major Star Alliance, SkyTeam or oneworld connecting hub.
