In the first quarter, the company reported a net profit of \u20ac301.3 million, marking a 15.4% increase compared to the \u20ac261 million recorded in the same period the previous year. The gross operating result (EBITDA) rose to \u20ac643.6 million, with a margin of 48.6%, reflecting a 10.8% growth from the \u20ac581.1 million achieved in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revenue Growth Driven by Traffic and Brazilian Airports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Total consolidated revenue reached \u20ac1,325.6 million, a 7.5% increase compared to the first quarter of 2024. This figure breaks down as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Aeronautical revenue: <\/strong>\u20ac683.6 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Commercial revenue: <\/strong>\u20ac441.1 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the consolidation of the Block of Eleven Brazilian Airports (BOAB) played a key role, contributing \u20ac46.8 million to revenue and \u20ac25.7 million to EBITDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/04\/istanbul-sets-a-milestone-first-airport-in-europe-with-simultaneous-operations-on-three-independent-runways.html\">Istanbul Sets a Milestone: First Airport in Europe with Simultaneous Operations on Three Independent Runways<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growing Passenger Traffic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aena Group\u2014including operations in Spain, London-Luton, and Brazil\u2014handled 78.3 million passengers between January and March 2025, representing a 4.9% year-on-year increase. In Spanish airports, traffic rose by 4.7%, reaching 63.6 million passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that the comparison with 2024 is influenced by two factors: Easter, which fell in April this year compared to March last year, and the leap year effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over \u20ac200 Million Allocated to Investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first quarter, Aena invested \u20ac203.1 million, primarily focused on facility improvements and enhancing operational safety across its airport network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost Control and Operational Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Group\u2019s OPEX amounted to \u20ac691.9 million, up from \u20ac659.9 million the previous year. This increase reflects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 10.7% rise in personnel costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Higher expenses in electricity (+22.4%), maintenance (+9.5%), and security (+8.3%) in the Spanish network<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Excluding the impact of energy costs, other operating expenses in Spain increased by \u20ac17.1 million, up 4.7% compared to the first quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Debt Reduction and Strong Cash Generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aena\u2019s consolidated net financial debt stood at \u20ac4,886 million, down from \u20ac5,498 million in 2024. This led to a significant improvement in the debt\/EBITDA ratio, which now stands at 1.37x.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Net cash flow generated by operating activities reached \u20ac820.4 million, well above the \u20ac723.7 million recorded in the same period the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
