The bus company SuBus and Alicante council have opened a new bus service to and from Alicante airport to the city centre.The new C6 service will start at the Plaza Puerta del Mar( near the Melia hotel) and will run every 20 minutes with the journey time between the city centre and the airport being 30 mins.The cost of the trip each way will be 2.60 euros and the buses have been equipped especially to take both passengers and their luggage.They will also have a WI-FI system,wheelchair access and audio-visual announcements.The buses will start at the Plaza at 06.20 and the last bus will depart at 22.40.From the airport the first bus is at 06.50 and the last one at 23.10.The service will operate on every day of the year.

The regional transport councillor has said that the new line was needed because of the new terminal at El Altet.Once that is complete then it could see the airport having 20 million passengers pass through the terminals each year.The old routes from Alicante airport to the city centre have now been incorporated into other routes which will take people to Elche,crevillente and Torrellano.
