Spanish airport operator Aena’s council of ministers has approved investments of €351m (US$413m) in addition to those programmed in its current five-year investment plan (known as DORA II, Airport Regulation Document 2022–2026).
Aena says the new investments could not have been foreseen prior to the approval of DORA II and bring forward necessary actions that would in any case be carried out in the next period, DORA III (2027 to 2031).
The new investments are intended to adapt infrastructure to new regulatory requirements, enhance safety and cybersecurity and provide more robust facilities, generate efficiencies and improve the passenger experience while reducing the operational impact of terminal upgrades.
They are considered necessary and beneficial for the Spanish airport system as a whole and will enable progress in key projects at airports such Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández, Valencia, Bilbao, César Manrique-Lanzarote, Ibiza, Málaga-Costa del Sol, Menorca, Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna and Tenerife Sur.
One of the main allocations (€84m/US$99m) will go toward the ongoing remodeling of the terminal area at Palma de Mallorca Airport.
