Brand-new Corvera airport flight route scheduled to start in 2025
Murcia International Airport is hoping to build on the increased passenger numbers seen at the end of this year
With passenger numbers rebounding nicely at the tail-end of 2024 after a fairly disappointing start to the year, Corvera Airport, or Murcia Region International Airport (AIRM) to give it its formal title, is betting on an even busier 2025. Getting in on the game early is Canary Islands airline Binter, which has just announced a brand new route between Murcia and Tenerife.
Officially announced by the Spanish airline this week, the new Corvera-Tenerife North-La Laguna City Airport (TFN) direct flights will begin on March 30, 2025 and operate twice a week in each direction.
This is in addition to the usual Binter flights from Murcia to Gran Canaria which run all year round.
Binter is determined to make its mark in mainland Spain, launching four other destinations in 2025: Valencia (VLC), with four weekly frequencies, and San Sebastián (EAS), Pamplona (PNA) and Granada (GRX), all with two weekly flights each.
This launch is the result of collaborative efforts between the Cabildo, through Turismo de Tenerife, and Binter. It aims to strengthen the airline's external route network from its Tenerife North base, increasing operations by 67%.
It will also help to promote the strategic development of the island's air connectivity in the coming years, taking advantage of the growth phase in which the airline finds itself.
After a slow start in 2024, Corvera Airport saw a 33% increase in passengers last month compared to November 2023, with 31,490 travellers passing through its gates. The Murcia aerodrome typically operates a reduced winter schedule and in the past few weeks it has scaled back from 23 destinations to just nine, so the new Tenerife flights will be a welcome boost in 2025.
