Alicante International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Alicante), (IATA: ALC, ICAO: LEAL), originally named El Altet, is the main airport for the regions of Alicante and Murcia in Spain. It is located within the municipality of Elx (Elche), just 9 km southwest of Alicante.
El Altet opened on 1967-05-04, replacing the older airdrome La Rabassa that had served Alicante since 1936. The airport took its name from a part of the city of Elx.
Alicante is the major airport on Costa Blanca, so 80% traffic is international .

A new Terminal is under construction to be finished in 2009.
