The winter schedule at Alicante-Elche airport runs from 25 October 2026 to 27 March 2027. According to the airlines, 28 carriers fly from here to 125 cities in 31 countries this winter, with about 5% more seats than last winter. Here is what has changed.
New destinations
- Catania (Sicily) — Ryanair from 25 October, Wizz Air from 15 December.
- Chișinău — Wizz Air from 25 October.
- A Coruña — Volotea from 2 December, two flights a week. The route pauses from 7 January to 19 March.
- Santiago de Compostela — Fly2Galicia from 3 December.

Summer routes that stay on for winter
Some routes launched in summer now run all year round. They include Ryanair to Venice, Friedrichshafen and Saarbrücken, Luxair to Luxembourg, Royal Air Maroc to Casablanca (three flights a week), Pegasus to Istanbul and Air Serbia to Belgrade.
Saarbrücken and Luxembourg will sound familiar to our travellers: both cities are on the programme of our Christmas tour of Europe’s markets.
What has been cut
- This winter Ryanair does not fly to Västerås (Stockholm), Lanzarote, Palma de Mallorca or Warsaw-Modlin.
- Vueling has dropped its flights to Cardiff and London Gatwick.
- FLYONE Armenia has postponed the return of its Yerevan flights to May 2027.
If you were planning to fly to Mallorca, look at flights from Valencia.
News from Valencia too
Since 2 November Wizz Air has had a base at Valencia airport: its routes grow from 12 to 24 and weekly flights from 45 to 111. Asturias, Santiago, Santander and Brașov were added first, and from 14 December Catania, Bilbao, Palma, Naples, Chișinău and Yerevan follow.
