But Sabadell airport is the worst affected. Of the unprecedented budget that <a href="https://en.ara.cat/economy/aena-plans-to-invest-12-888-billion-between-2027-and-2031_1_5500629.html" >has projected</a> The Sabadell Chamber of Commerce criticizes the lack of attention given to its own airport, which is managed by the state-owned airport operator Aena, valued at nearly €13 billion. "We feel absolutely mistreated," explains Pere Jordi Puig, president of the Chamber's urban planning, infrastructure, and transport division. Without commercial flights, Sabadell Airport is very different from those of Barcelona, ​​Girona, and Reus. Opened in 1934, and playing a prominent role during the Spanish Civil War, it is dedicated to private aviation, aeronautical training, and emergency services, with similar examples in Spain such as Cuatro Vientos (Madrid) and Son Bonet (Mallorca). With a fleet of approximately 200 aircraft, mostly helicopters and light aircraft, the facility handles around 6,500 passengers annually and employs some 500 people from various training schools, workshops, and companies, in addition to Aena staff, according to data from the Sabadell Chamber of Commerce. "It's an airport that isn't losing money, but it could be more profitable," Puig points out.</p>]]></description>
