The Council of Ministers has given the green light to the Airport Regulation Document (DORA 2027-2031), a strategic plan that will mobilize close to 13 billion euros in Aena's national network and will allocate 1.807 billion to the airports of the Canary Islands.
In this context of modernization and sustainability, Lanzarote Airport emerges as one of the main protagonists of the archipelago by receiving an economic injection of 327.4 million euros. This allocation will allow for a profound operational and structural transformation to respond to the growth in passenger traffic and optimize their travel experience.
The ambitious intervention in the Lanzarote facilities will cover practically all phases of the passenger's journey through the terminal building. The expansion of check-in desks and the check-in area is planned, as well as the improvement of security and passport control checkpoints.
Likewise, the waiting areas for boarding will gain in surface area and number of gates, while the baggage claim hall will be renovated to add new collection belts. The investment will be completed with direct actions on the airfield and apron, aimed at raising the standards of safety and efficiency in operations.
On a regional scale, Lanzarote is positioned as the third Canary Islands airport in terms of investment volume, only behind Tenerife South (553 million euros) and Gran Canaria (336.3 million euros).
The project map in the archipelago is completed with the allocations for Tenerife North (313 million), Fuerteventura (153 million), La Palma (89 million), La Gomera (19 million) and El Hierro (14.8 million), configuring a comprehensive plan aimed at improving the connectivity, sustainability and operational infrastructure of the entire regional network.
This historic investment will not impact public coffers or the user's pocket. The resources do not come from the General State Budgets, but from the income generated by Aena's own activity.
Furthermore, the planning approved by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility guarantees practically the freezing of airport charges, which will experience a minimal variation calculated at just three euro cents per passenger per year.
