Story details

In a 21 October notice, Aena said the contract covers renewal of runway 12-30, changes to several taxiways and improvements to the perimeter road. The 27-month project is scheduled to run from May 2027 through July 2029.

The runway work includes resurfacing, slope correction and levelling, LED runway lighting and PAPI guidance lights, plus drainage and electrical upgrades. Aena says major works will require closures from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.; it will coordinate the timing with airport operators and give airlines advance notice so they can rearrange flights.
