Murcia-San Javier Airport (IATA: MJV, ICAO: LELC) is a military air base and civilian passenger airport located in San Javier, 17 miles south of Murcia, Spain. It is operated by Aena (Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea, or Spanish Airports and Aereal Navigation), the Spanish airport authority.
The Murcia airport can receive airplanes up to the size of Boeing 757 or 767. It has been declared fire category 5 by the IATA, and it has one ambulance available. Because Murcia is a popular destination for charter groups, the airport is flown by a number of charter airlines.
Over the last few years, Murcia Airport has become busier, thanks to the arrival of several low-cost airlines. According to Aena, the passenger numbers have jumped from just 88,608 in 1995 to a staggering 848,037 in 2004. In 2006, 1,645,886 passengers used the airport.[1]
