Overview
- The airport, which closed Thursday for runway resurfacing, will stay shut to all takeoffs and landings until May 27.
- Reports count roughly 30 UK‑bound flights a week to the airport, putting as many as 4,500 British passengers at risk of disruption during the shutdown.
- Schedules for Ryanair, Vueling, Iberia and British Airways are affected, with flights cancelled or rerouted while the works proceed.
- Ryanair has halted its Stansted service, and Aena urges passengers to check with their airline for rebooking and to use A Coruña or Vigo as alternatives.
- Separate ground‑handling strikes at other Spanish airports continue on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in set time slots, which could add delays for onward connections.
