Spain to offer free, unlimited Wi-Fi in 46 airports

Aena says it will start providing free and unlimited Wi-Fi in 46 airports across the country by the end of 2015.

Spain’s airport authority says it will start providing free and unlimited Wi-Fi in 46 airports across the country by the end of 2015.

Airport authority AENA says its board has approved a plan that envisions making Spanish airports among Europe’s best for fast and free Wi-Fi service for passengers.

Free Wi-Fi is currently available in most Spanish airports but there’s a 30-minute usage limit.

AENA said that faster speeds will be offered, plus a premium service for passengers willing to pay for it.

The agency also said that it would quadruple the current speed of the internet.

The Wi-Fi programme would be combined with an existing paid premium service for those who want even higher speeds.

Currently Kubi Wireless offers 30 minutes of free internet at 28 airports, including Madrid-Barajas International Airport.

The authority says it expects the new free Wi-Fi system will be available at airports toward the end of this year.
