This was due to them expanding their rounds and offering their services at a very cheap price.

History

In 2010 unfortunately the airport announced that it would have to drop about seven of their of its nine routes this was due to luck of customers and the airport blamed this solely to the government for lack of promoting tourism in the country and the worst part was that during the winter it will only operate in two of its routes and which will also be very minimal but the airport did not say when the other routes will become functional again.

Sadly in November 2012 the minister of public works and Secretary of State for Transport signed the official agreement that effectively closes the airport to commercial traffic in summer 2012.this agreement was made despite the fact that the airport had used over 60 million pounds for the construction of a new runway and other commercial terminal buildings and this agreement came in to being due to the fact that there was the development of the new International airport of the region of Murcia in Corvera. but despite the planned closure easy jet has argued to open a base in Murcia operating with about two aircrafts during the same time as the closure.(summer 2012)
