Overview

• The 90‑minute committee session in Vigo was labeled “disappointing” by officials across PP, PSOE and BNG, and it ended early when a state representative left to catch a flight.
• The sole agreement was to create a working group with no start date, which the Government’s delegate described as a first step that could launch before year‑end.
• Ryanair’s exit from Vigo and closure of its Santiago base have already cut routes and frequencies, intensifying concern over Galicia’s air connectivity.
• Xunta official Diego Calvo said coordination is a state competence, pressed for a more proactive role from Aena, and faulted the meeting format after Aena schedules curtailed debate.
• Business and local leaders called for airport complementarity and functional specialization to compete with Porto, while only Santiago’s mayor attended among the three city leaders.
