Aena has expressed its opposition to the airport management law of the Balearic Parliament, which will be debated in Congress. The company argues that the regulation is incompatible with the current legal framework.

Aena has voiced its disagreement with the airport co-management law promoted by the Balearic Parliament, considering it to be "incompatible with the current legal framework, particularly due to the applicable constitutional framework." This statement comes after the announcement that Congress will debate the legislative proposal, which was approved by the Parliament on 28 April.

The President of Congress, Francina Armengol, lifted the Government's veto, allowing the law to be considered in the coming weeks. Aena maintains that Article 149.1.20 of the Constitution grants the State exclusive competence over airports of general interest.

Furthermore, Aena argues that the creation of an airport coordination committee with participation from Balearic institutions, as proposed by the law, would be incompatible with the current network airport management model. The initiative aims to limit tourist pressure and improve the mobility of residents in the islands.

The company also emphasises that the airport system is based on the "principle of economic solidarity," ensuring efficient service provision and adequate investment in all airport infrastructures.
