The concession, awarded in 2006 for the construction of the section to Terminal 4 of Barajas, concludes this May after 20 years. This privatization of the works led to a surcharge for entering or exiting the two Airport stations, which was initially two euros and now stands at three.
Funds to pay the concessionaire company, Metro Barajas SA (created by FCC and Caja Madrid and later sold to investment funds), came from the fares set by the Regional Transport Consortium of Madrid (CRTM).
“"The CRTM's fare policy is usually established at the beginning of each year, so when that time comes, it will be determined what it should be for 2027."
Currently, users of the two Airport stations on Madrid Metro pay a three-euro surcharge, established since the inauguration of the Line 8 extension to T4 in May 2007.
The CRTM will have to decide next year whether to maintain or modify this surcharge, and whether to apply it also to travelers arriving at Barajas via Line 5, whose connection to the airport is expected in 2027. Meanwhile, the Madrid City Council has declined to comment on possible fare changes, as responsibility for the Metro lies with the regional government.
