Company “offers 200 million euros” for Castellón’s ghost airport
The 150-million-euro installation is yet to see a single plane land or take off
In the context of Spain’s economic crisis, the story of Castellón airport, in the Valencia region, has been told time and time again. The project serves as the perfect example of rampant spending by local authorities, who were busy getting rich during the construction boom. But that boom turned to bust, and Castellón Airport currently sits empty, with not a single plane ever having landed or taken off at the 150-million-euro installation.
But on Wednesday it emerged that a buyer may have been found for the failed project. According to the president of the public company that manages the site, Carlos Fabra, “a corporate group” has made an offer of around 200 million euros for the airport. The amount that the regional government would get from a possible sale has not been announced.
The proposal is said to include the purchase of the airport as well as the investments that still need to be made on the project (its runway is too short for planes to use). There are currently no agreements with any airlines at the facility.
