Bilbao Airport

The company will offer three flights in the week A between Loiu and Newmark airports, a service that first started operating last summer and received more than 14,400 passengers in 2025.

The Spanish airport operator has assured us that the supply of fuel and kerosene is guaranteed for the coming weeks, although he has warned that "everything will depend on the duration of the war".

Ivan Grande has pointed out that the current geopolitical situation may affect the economy of airlines and airports, but believes that kerosene production plants in Spain guarantee fuel "in the short term."

Spanish airlines are expected to increase passengers by 5.7% this summer compared to last year, with a projected turnover of EUR 260 million.

From the airport of Vitoria, seven flights will depart to Andalusia, six to Seville and one to Jerez, while from the airports of Bilbao, San Sebastián and Pamplona, two flights will depart to Seville.

For the duration of the suspension, passengers wishing to travel to Cuba will be offered by Iberia to go to Panama and from there to the island. Iberia will keep its offices open in Havana. 

In total, more than 500 flights worldwide have been cancelled due to the strike called for this Friday by the staff of the Lufthansa cabin . 

Last Monday there were delays of up to 90 minutes and some flights were cancelled.

The agreement on airport infrastructures provides for the establishment of a cooperation body between the two administrations which, in accordance with the current competition regulations, will enable the Basque Country to intervene in strategic decisions.

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.

Groundfroce workers in charge of packing and other airport services will make stops on Monday, Wednesday and Friday due to discrepancies within the negotiation of the new collective agreement.

The stops will begin on March 27 and will take effect on April 1 (Wednesday), April 3 (Good Friday) and April 6 (Easter Monday). Workers demand that the CPI differential and purchasing power be maintained. Handling would affect all airports in the state where that company provides service.

A summary, in two words, of what will be news in the Present today.

The purpose of the meeting is to ensure that airports do not lose the classification of general interest, but to create a bilateral organization to manage them.

The Spanish Government delegate to the ACV, Marisol Garmendia, believes that "an agreement will be reached" on the creation of a bilateral agency for the management of Basque airports. She has expressed a different view regarding the Port of Passages and has ruled out removing the classification of general interest, since the removal of this classification would "degrade the port and endanger the 400 direct jobs it has".

The company has opposed the transfer of airport management to the Basque Country and has announced an investment plan of almost EUR 13 billion, including the expansion of Loiu and improvements in Hondarribia and Foronda.

The spokesman for the Basque Government has called for the Basque Country to be able to participate in the document establishing investments of EUR 13 billion and to have the power to decide on fees and strategy.

The establishment of the Subcommittee on Airport Management and Infrastructure was agreed by the President, Imanol Pradales, and the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, in the Bilateral Cooperation Committee in July last year, with the aim of analysing and discussing the various forms of transfer in the management of airports in the Basque Country.

The price of flights has risen and in order to get to the game, fans have to face long stopovers or travel a day earlier, according to a flight metabilizer.
