Overview
- The Granada provincial president abruptly left the Airport Board meeting and said his institution will withdraw from the body.
- He accused Jaén’s president of disrespect and of refusing to commit funds, stating Granada will put €1 million in 2026 to seek links to Milan, Rome and Paris.
- Francis Rodríguez urged Jaén to allocate part of its roughly €100 million surplus and said Granada will not return to the board with the current participants.
- Francisco Reyes denied any disrespect, noted Rodríguez was the only one to walk out, and announced a provincial campaign in Jaén to promote the Granada airport’s connections, citing Amsterdam and Nantes.
- The standoff leaves shared funding and joint promotion unresolved and threatens coordinated work with the regional government, the state subdelegation, nearby municipalities and business groups.
