Summer / Autumn 16 looks like a significant year for Alicante.
The airport has a total of 35 new services launching in 2016 and it looks like a very busy year for Alicante . I suppose this may be due to the decline in tourism in places like Turkey & Egypt
Here's a summary of all of the new flights and carriers the airport will have in 2016: (I'm using the Vueling flight for the first time this year)
Aeroflot - Moscow Sheremetyevo (begins 1 June 2016)
