Overview

• Élite Taxi has scheduled nonstop horn honking at Barcelona-El Prat Airport’s VIP parking area from June 16 to June 20 between 8 am and 8 pm
• The action responds to Aena’s award of the VIP parking contract to Uber, Cabify and Bolt for the next three years, which Élite Taxi says threatens its members’ livelihoods
• Spokesperson Tito Álvarez warned that if Aena does not reverse the VTC decision after the noise protest, taxi drivers will suspend all service at the airport
• Élite Taxi has accused Pak Taxi of enabling unlicensed drivers, an allegation that Pak Taxi president Muhammad Iqbal Khokhar calls “a cheap campaign”
• The mobilization coincides with June 26 elections for the Taula Tècnica del Taxi del Área Metropolitana de Barcelona, intensifying competition among taxi associations
