A CNMV filing by Aena followed by Lucena’s remarks signals central control will continue, leaving Galicia’s push for a Xunta‑led coordination table without a clear interlocutor.

Overview

  • In A Coruña, local leaders agreed to ask the Xunta to convene a political table to coordinate the region’s three airports and present a common front to Aena.
  • The Xunta’s mobility director said the regional government will join coordination only if the Ministry of Transport leads because airport governance is a state competence.
  • The Galician Parliament passed a PP motion urging the central government to call the airport coordination committee and draft a strategic plan after Ryanair’s cuts, including the closure of its Santiago base.
  • Aena informed the CNMV it will not share airport management with autonomous communities and defended an integrated national network tied to a planned €13 billion investment program.
  • Investor concern flagged by TCI and the sustained shift of Galician travelers to Porto strengthen calls for a Galicia‑wide policy, yet the governance dispute remains unresolved.
