Overview
- The Salceda de Caselas council says it will appeal to the Galician High Court and will open a major-works permit process for the site.
- A Pontevedra court annulled the town’s prior go-ahead and ordered work stopped on a plan for a 500‑meter runway with an aircraft parking area and an access road.
- The judge found the works sit on protected rural land, cover about 47,000 square meters, and require a full urban planning license rather than a minor-works filing.
- The ruling said the promoter split off hangars and a fuel depot into later phases to avoid full review and noted missing aviation and environmental authorizations.
- Local communal landowners, who collectively manage forest lands in Galicia, brought the challenge in 2024, and the project stays on hold while an appeal is possible.
