Spain will have to justify the increase in airport charges to and from it's airports, which took effect on the 1st of July.
Earlier today - the 21st of November - the European Commission sent Spain a letter of formal notice, having received a number of complaints relating to the violation of Directive 2009/12 on airport charges. According to these complaints, airlines were not properly consulted over changes to airport charges – contrary to EU law – and the increase in charges is disproportionate.
Depending on the size of the airport, the increase is between 5-10% of former tariffs (the passenger charge payable by airlines at Madrid and Barcelona's airports has doubled). The modification is retroactive and even affects airline tickets purchased before 1st July.
