Balearic Islands infrastructure and airport labor updates
In the Balearic Islands, FCC Construcción S.A. has emerged as the technical leader in the bidding process for the construction of a new air traffic control center at Son Bonet. The project, promoted by ENAIRE, has a base budget of approximately 80.2 million euros and an expected execution period of 32 months. FCC scored 87.10 points in the technical evaluation, ahead of a Ferrovial and Dragados alliance. A final decision awaits the evaluation of economic offers.
Separately, labor representatives at Ibiza Airport have criticized Aena for modifying working conditions without addressing structural staff shortages. The union committee reports that mandatory coverage requirements and organizational changes at the power plant are causing physical and psychological strain on employees. Specifically, technicians have lost the ability to take winter vacations, a right established in 2006, while some management roles reportedly retain year-round vacation flexibility.
