Overview
- - The Xunta proposed a promotional fund to draw new services at Vigo (Peinador), Santiago (Lavacolla) and A Coruña (Alvedro) rather than paying airlines directly.
- - Authorities signaled an equal split of resources among the three airports with a goal of at least two new routes per terminal, though the total amount remains undecided.
- - AENA highlighted priority markets such as London, Rome, Milan and Paris and said route additions will be demand-led and realized over the medium term, noting strong early sales for United’s new long‑haul from Santiago.
- - The working group set an internal window of roughly two weeks to define each administration’s contributions and a common roadmap for airline outreach.
- - Reactions diverged as Santiago officials backed the coordinated push while Vigo’s mayor, Abel Caballero, questioned promotion-only support and pressed for airline advertising contracts, against a backdrop of a 29.8% February traffic drop at Lavacolla and a spring runway closure.
