Valencia Airport

Valencia Airport (VLC)

Valencia Airport has considerably developed the last years. Since 1995 the number of passengers more than doubled. In 2005, more than 4.5 million people flew through Valencia Airport. This is especially because of the arrival of budget airlines such as EasyJet. Also is the fact that Costa Blanca – south of Valencia – is increasingly more a popular location for a second house.

The airport is eight kilometers west of Valencia.
