Aena has defended its management model following the agreement between the Spanish Government and the Basque Government
The public company insists that the new bilateral body will be "merely advisory" and will not change its powers. It also warns that legislation may be compromised if the limits of the current regulations are exceeded.
Withregard to the agreement reached between the Spanish Government and the Basque Government for the establishment of a bilateral airport body dela, Aena has issued a statement stressing that it will not entail any change in the current management model or in the ownership of the network of airports of general interest. The company has stressed that this body "will be an advisory and not a decision-making body" that respects existing legislation.
However, Aena has been cautious about some of the interpretations made by the Basque Government that the bilateral body may intervene in the operational procedures. The company has warned that these statements "may violate the rules in force" and "affect the functioning of the Spanish airport model". It has therefore announced that it will ask the legal advisers if any action should be taken.
The announcement by the Spanish Government was made following the meeting of the Bilateral Cooperation Commission, which agreed on a mechanism to strengthen cooperationthat wouldallow the Basque Government to 'increase its capacity to propose' and 'improve institutional dialogue'. However, the Spanish Ministry of Transport has subsequently specified that there will be no change in 'airport regulations and the model for managing the Aena airport network'.
In this connection, Aena recalls that the Constitution confers on the State competence over airports of general interest, and therefore stresses that regulatory, inspection and regulatory powers are "exclusive to the State" through various agencies, such as the Directorate-General for Civil Aviation, the National Commission on Markets and Competition and the State Aviation Safety Agency.
The company also recalls that, according to Law 18/2014, the management ofthe airport network "belongs exclusively to Aena", whose shareholder structure covers 49% of private capital, a model that is "protected" by the freedom of enterprise, so that the new bilateral body "cannot change the network of airports of general interest or the business model of Aena".
