Ciudad Real Central Airport, international private airport in Spain, Europe
Ciudad Real’s Central Airport, Spain Located in a city with a population of 74,000, Central Airport was built with one of Europe’s longest runways and a terminal that can (and was supposed to) process up to 10 million passengers. However, actual yearly passenger flows have measured in the low thousands, and only one airline has signed up to fly out of the airport. The airport has turned out to be a financial disaster so far. Due to poor planning and overoptimism on the part of large financial investors, major deficiencies in the early planning stages were overlooked. A single airline has signed up to fly out of the airport and none of the potential airlines that were considered were actually interested in utilizing the airport. The actual passenger traffic has measured in the low thousands, compared to the anticipated traffic of up to 10 million. The future outlook looks equally bleak. The airport has contributed significantly to the financial trouble of the creditor institutions.
