Aena, the listed Spanish airport operator, established its first euro medium-term note programme in 2023. By doing so it became the first fixed-income issuer to be admitted to trading in accordance with Spain’s new securities law.
Ignacio Castejón, finance director at Aena, says the EMTN programme was one of the main pillars of the financing strategy approved by the board in 2023. Aena has structural and regular financing needs in order to manage and develop the 46 airports and two heliports it operates in Spain. Internationally Aena also operates Luton airport in the UK and has an interest in companies that manage airports in Mexico, Jamaica, Colombia and Brazil.
