Aena has awarded a €19.5 million contract to renew the runway at Granada‑Jaén Airport, a price slightly below the tender budget of €19,726,247.63, and the project is part of the Airport Regulation Document (DORA) III investment plan that totals €10 billion for the network’s airports between 2027 and 2031.
The works will level the runway strip, install a new air taxiway for helicopters, apply hydroseeding in critical areas of the radio aids, and replace the entire aeronautical surface lighting of the runway, taxiways and apron, with the approach lighting upgraded to LED technology using new duct banks, cabling, lights, signs and regulators; during the closure, traffic will be rerouted to Málaga‑Costa del Sol Airport, and Aena has notified airlines and other operators to reschedule their flights, while the Popular Party’s municipal group has submitted a motion urging the government and Aena to ensure alternative connectivity for the province during the closure weeks.
