Air traffic at the new airport at Corvera must not exceed a million passengers for the first two years of operations or the company, Aeromur, will have to repay 50% of the public funds it has received.
This is one of the conditions set by the Director General of Competition for authorizing the loan. The first condition is the closure of San Javier airport by Aena which should take place between six months and two years of the new aiport opening.
To date the investment in the new airport is 257 million euros. Public Money can only finance 75% of the investment and that final figure may be less as the current loan agreement is for 171 million euros over 10 years.
The regional department of transport has now “guaranteed” that the airport will be operational in the first months of next year.
