Spain's airport operator denies Madrid airport bedbug infestation
Spain's airport operator, Aena, denies claims of a bed bug infestation at Madrid's main airport, Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD). The company issued a statement following reports of insect bites among airport workers. Aena acknowledged detecting insects in "very limited" areas, but said pest control did not confirm an infestation. The operator stated that inspections and treatments are ongoing, and that they are working with cleaning and specialized firms. The statement comes amid rising tensions with Madrid City Council over homeless individuals at the airport, with Aena urging the city and regional government to find a solution for social protection.
