SECOND RUNWAY NEEDED
HOTELIERS in the Valencia Region are campaigning for the construction of a second runway at AlicanteElche airport.
Hotel association Hosbec president Fede Fuster and regional business chiefs met with the president of national airport managing body Aena, Maurici Lucena, last week to learn about the investments planned for AlicanteElche and to insist on the importance of the second runway.
Sr Fuster recalled that “the main line of business at Alicante airport is international traffic, which accounts for 85 per cent of the total and continues to break records for operations and passengers every month, which is why all the planning of necessary infrastructures, such as the second runway, must be brought forward.”
The planning of new infrastructures for AlicanteElche Miguel Hernández airport is said to be essential for the plans of continuous growth that include boosting the North American market, which is part of the tourism sector’s medium and long term objectives.
Hosbec has announced that it will resume the agenda of contacts with US airlines after the summer
