The service is expected to begin operating this fall and will be offered at 46 airports and 2 heliports, serving 200 million passengers annually.
The agreement between Eurona and Aena positions the telecommunications operator as the world's leading WiFi service provider by number of airports. Eurona already held a leading position in the sector thanks to its presence in 28 Spanish airports through Kubi Wireless, the operator the company acquired in 2013, which manages multi-connections in large venues.
This change in airport connectivity puts Spain at the forefront in terms of both speed and quality of free internet access compared to other major airports such as London Gatwick, where travelers have only 45 minutes of connection, or Brussels, Lisbon, Dubai, and São Paulo, which offer only 30 minutes, according to data from the OCU (Spanish Consumers' Organization).
In addition to the free service, the company will continue to offer a paid Premium extended service. In this context, Spanish airports already offered 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi connection, a service to which more than 8 million passengers connected in 2014.
