Toni Pérez, president of Costa Blanca, has confirmed that discussions are underway with tourism offices and airlines to establish direct flights from Alicante-Elche Airport to Canada.
These flights would be in addition to those planned for the United States.
While this is a long-term goal, officials see Canada as a key market for expansion.
Costa Blanca also aims to strengthen its connections within Europe. According to José Mancebo, Director of the Provincial Tourism Board of the Costa Blanca, meetings with airlines based in Alicante, such as Jet2, Ryanair, and Easyjet, have shown promising results.
Recently, a new direct flight to Moldova was announced adding to the growing list of destinations, including Athens and Naples.
A key focus is analysing passenger data, which remains challenging due to record-breaking numbers at Alicante’s Miguel Hernández Airport. In 2024, over 18.4 million travellers passed through its terminals.
