Corvera Airline Deadline Slips Again, Airline Confirms Interest

Corvera Airline Deadline Slips Again, Airline Confirms Interest

Manuel Campos - the Regional Minister of Development, Works and Planning, by now all too well-known for his inability to avoid giving a deadline on any given regional project - has given a an interview to a Spanish Radio station, where he has once again confirmed that "Corvera Airport could open as soon as April 2015".

The news comes less than a month after the very same Manuel Campos suggested that the Airport would be operational in March 2015.

The Regional Government of Murcia has stated on a number of occasions recently how the operation of the facility will overlap with that of San Javier Airport, which is expected to close some time during 2016, once state-owned AENA have been fully compensated for the EU75 Mln they have invested in the smaller, older airport over recent years.

Elswhere last week, Spain's Iberia-Air Nostrum Airline confirmed that they "would be interested" in establishing routes to and from Corvera Airport.

Totally agree Lucinda - also, in addition to being 'flight ready' they seem to have overlooked the fact that Corvera is not yet recognised on any international flight schedules for 2015, nor has any Airline made a firm commitment to fly there.

I suppose Corvera Airport could physically be opened at anytime. Flight readiness is another matter. There must be a lot of equipment that has stood idol for years without being serviced. Some equipment will be obsolete and need replacing. I would also guess that the aircraft trials would need revalidation due to lapse in time. There is going to be a huge cost in getting the airport fit for purpose again, which I doubt has not been thought about as the concern is with solving the existing loan issues.

After so many missed deadlines and false promises about Corvera Airport over the years, you would have thought that the regional government of Murcia would be a little guarded about making such ridiculous claims.
