The Región de Murcia International Airport (Corvera Airport) is strengthening its network for the winter season, offering travellers increased options and improved connections. The winter schedule runs from late October through March, featuring flights to 11 national and international destinations operated by five airlines. New Tenerife route and expanded Barcelona service A major highlight this season is the launch of a new route to Tenerife Norte, which adds four weekly flights. This route provides residents and tourists with easier access to the Canary Islands, one of Spain’s most popular winter destinations. In addition, the Barcelona route, operated by Volotea, will expand from two to three weekly flights. This gives passengers more flexibility for trips to Spain’s northeastern hub, whether for business, leisure, or family visits. Key UK and Irish destinations continue Flights to major UK cities remain central to the airport’s winter schedule. London (Luton, Gatwick, and Stansted), Manchester, Birmingham, and Bristol will continue to operate regularly. Dublin flights will also maintain their schedule, reflecting the ongoing demand from both the British and Irish markets. The UK market is particularly significant for Murcia, representing the region’s largest source of international passengers. These flights play a crucial role in supporting tourism, local businesses, and the expat community living in Murcia.
