Big plans and major expansions at Alicante-Elche Airport
Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport set for expansion.
AENA is moving forward with plans to expand Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport and Valencia Airport to address the growing demand for air travel, driven by the rising tourism in the Costa Blanca region. At Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, the project will centre on enlarging the current terminal. This will involve extending the boarding dock to incorporate the area of the old Terminal 1 and the existing General Aviation Termi-
nal. Due to Brexit and the large number of passengers that fly from the United Kingdom, the new dock will enable the airport to handle more non-Schengen flights efficiently. Additional gates will also be built for non-Schengen traffic, ensuring improved service for passengers and airlines. The terminal will be reconfigured to provide more space for security screening. Advanced technology will be ins-
talled, including Automated Tray Return Systems, which speed up the security process by automatically returning trays used for hand luggage checks. Explosive Detection Systems for Cabin Baggage will also be added, allowing passengers to
leave electronic devices and permitted liquids in their bags during inspections as they head through security. The expanded terminal will also include new commercial areas and a dedicated VIP lounge for non-Schengen passengers.
