Ferrovial, a Spanish construction company, has expressed interest in expanding its presence in US airports, according to its CEO Ignacio Madridejos.

During the Reuters NEXT conference in New York, Madridejos stated that the company, which acquired a stake in the $9. 5 billion New Terminal One project at JFK International Airport in 2022, expects a long-term growth in air travel. He highlighted the potential for private-sector involvement in US airport infrastructure.

Madridejos also acknowledged the short-term slowdown in inbound travel, but remains confident in the long-term growth of air travel. He stated, “We are trying to do something similar in the U. S. We see opportunities. When you see the airports, some of them need expansion, some of them need refurbishment, and I think that working with private partners like us will help to accelerate and improve customer service.

Despite the current disruptions in US travel, Madridejos emphasized that Ferrovial is focused on long-term trends. He specifically mentioned New York as a unique destination that the company is interested in. This comes after the company’s sale of its remaining stake in Heathrow airport in July for €539 million. The company had gradually sold off its 25% stake in the airport since 2023.

The sale of its stake in Heathrow airport contributed to a 6. 2% increase in like-for-like revenues for the first nine months of 2025, reaching €6. 9 billion. Madridejos’s comments show Ferrovial’s dedication to expanding its presence in the US airport market and its confidence in the long-term growth of air travel.
