ENAIRE GLOBAL SERVICES appoints Santiago Cortés as CEO to drive ENAIRE’s international expansion

Following the completion of all procedures and approvals for the formal establishment of the new company ENAIRE GLOBAL SERVICES (EGS), its Board of Directors approved on 13 February the appointment of Santiago Cortés Burns as CEO of the subsidiary created by ENAIRE to drive the internationalisation of the state air navigation manager as a global operator in the non-regulated sector.

With the appointment of Santiago Cortés as CEO of EGS, ENAIRE takes a further step in its strategy to strengthen its international strategic positioning in the non-regulated sector, in line with its new 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, the 2030 Flight Plan.

The Council of Ministers agreed in 2025 to authorise the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility to establish EGS as a subsidiary of ENAIRE to operate in the non-regulated air navigation market, focusing its activity on three main business lines, primarily internationally: air traffic management operational services; technological and consultancy services; and drone and new user services. It should be noted that several leading national European air navigation service providers have already created similar companies to position themselves as global operators. Following this approval, all necessary procedures and formalities to launch the new ENAIRE subsidiary have been successfully completed, culminating in the appointment of its CEO.
