Conveniently located on the northern shore of the Mar Menor and just 20 minutes from the city of Murcia, San Javier airport is well served by a comprehensive range of low-cost airlines operating direct flights from most UK airports, together with several scheduled airlines. The airport terminal was substantially extended in 2004, and a second runway will come into service in 2006. (Alicante airport, 45 minutes away is an alternative, while in 2008/9, a third option will be the new international facility planned at nearby Corvera, 23 kilometres south of Murcia capital.)
