News: Airport manager Aena wants water for one euro at Spain airports

As we reported a year ago, the Spanish airport manager Aena wants to have a limit on the prices for drinking water at the vending machines, in shops and in certain catering establishments.

In fact, the idea is to have bottles everywhere that should not be more expensive than 1 euro. The introduction of affordable water is proceeding slowly but Aena now wants to speed it up.

In March 2018, Aena already reported that she intended to listen to the complaints from passengers at the Spanish airports that are managed by the airport manager and, among other things, to lower the prices for the bottles of water. Unfortunately, in practice it appears that a year later this has still not happened everywhere.

Aena owns 46 airports but wants to have cheaper water at the 19 large airports. These include the following airports: Gran Canaria, Tenerife-Norte, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Málaga-Costa del Sol, Barcelona-El Prat, Aeropuerto Internacional de la Región de Murcia, Eivissa, Palma, Seville, Jerez, Girona -Costa Brava, Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, Alicante-Elche, San Sebastián, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Burgos and Menorca.

Aena says that they currently already have 38 places at 12 airports where you can buy water for one euro, such as Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas (14 places), Barcelona-El Prat (2), Palma de Mallorca (5), Alicante - Elche (3), Valencia (3), Seville (2), Bilbao (2), Girona-Costa Brava (1), Santiago (2), Vigo (1), Ibiza (2) and Fuerteventura (1).
