Representatives from the Canadian company Lavalin, managing airport Castellón (Valencia, Spain), appealed to the state enterprise Aerocas, which he belongs, with the request to contribute to the inclusion of an air base in the Spanish-Russian bilateral aviation agreement. According to El Mundo, the agreement establishing the procedure of regular flights between the two countries, includes only some airports in Spain.
Until this goal is reached, the airport of Castellón can not receive regular flights from Russia similar to those that now connect Castellón with London as well as Bristol in the summer season (in addition, in June, will be launched in the Romanian route Bucharest). The absence of such transport links with Russia has become a major obstacle to Aerocas and Lavalin, who see a great tourist potential in the Russian middle class.
However, the possibility of the arrival of the guests from Russia still exists: in the aforementioned airport can fly charters booked by tour operators, for example, "Natalie Tours" and Tez Tour. Despite this, the launch of regular flights, whether permanent or seasonal routes could open new opportunities for the speedy resolution of the issue is necessary to promote Aerocas.
In 2015, air units Valencia taking nonstop flights from three Russian airports: the company performed S7 routes from Domodedovo to Alicante and Valencia, Vueling - from Domodedovo and St. Petersburg in Alicante, and the aircraft "Transaero" fly to Alicante from Domodedovo and Vnukovo. 92.5% of Russian passengers flew from Moscow. The route from Alicante to the capital of the Russian Federation was the only one that was carried out throughout the year.
