Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport

Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (LEAL) is a large airport in Alicante, VC, Spain. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code LEAL or IATA code ALC. It sits in Africa.

Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport sits near sea level at 142 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Madrid. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 10 departing and 9 arriving private-jet legs at LEAL across the next six months of operator inventory. 12 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

As one of the larger fields in Spain, LEAL tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
