About Región de Murcia International Airport

Región de Murcia International Airport (RMU), often called Murcia-Corvera Airport, is the commercial airport for Murcia and the Región de Murcia in southeast Spain. It stands near Corvera, within the municipality of Murcia, about 25 km (16 miles) from Murcia city and 35 km (22 miles) from Cartagena, with direct access to the A-30 motorway between the two.

Most flights link the region with the UK and Ireland: Ryanair and easyJet fly to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Dublin, among other cities. Volotea serves Barcelona, Marseille and seasonal routes in Spain, France and Italy, Binter Canarias flies to the Canary Islands, Smartwings to Prague and Brno, and Air Arabia to Nador in Morocco. The airport handled about 947,000 passengers in 2025.

All flights use a single terminal with nine boarding gates and four baggage belts.

From the airport, travelers head to Murcia city and Cartagena, to the Mar Menor resorts of Los Alcázares, San Javier and La Manga, to golf resorts such as Condado de Alhama and La Manga Club, and along the coast to Mazarrón, Águilas and Torrevieja.

Arrival tips for Región de Murcia International Airport

Most flights to Murcia come from the UK, which is outside the Schengen area, so expect to queue at passport control, where non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System. Flights from Spain and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks.

There is one terminal, with four baggage belts, so finding your bags is simple. After baggage claim you walk through customs into the arrivals hall.

Outside, the bus stops and the taxi rank are by the car park in front of the terminal. Interbus runs buses to San Andrés bus station in Murcia and to Cartagena bus station, and Airportbus runs lines along the coast to the Mar Menor, La Manga, Torrevieja, Mazarrón and Águilas; check timetables before you fly, because services are fewer than at big airports. Car hire desks are in the terminal, and pre-booked drivers usually meet you in the arrivals hall.

Spain is on Central European Time and uses the euro.

Ground transportation

Buses are few, so most travelers heading to the coast or the golf resorts use a taxi, a hire car or a pre-booked transfer.

Is Murcia airport still at San Javier?

No. Región de Murcia International Airport at Corvera opened on 15 January 2019 and replaced Murcia–San Javier Airport (MJV), which closed to civil flights. Every commercial flight to Murcia now lands at Corvera (RMU), so a ticket showing Murcia means this airport, not San Javier on the Mar Menor.

Airportbus runs a line to La Manga, Cabo de Palos, Mar de Cristal and Los Belones, and another through San Pedro del Pinatar, San Javier and Los Alcázares on the way to Torrevieja. Taxis and pre-booked cars go door to door, which is easier with luggage or golf bags.
