- Only travellers with boarding passes, airport staff, and those accompanying ticketed passengers will be allowed entry during these times.
- This follows months of increasing numbers of homeless people seeking shelter in the airport.

- Jet2's CEO recently warned of British tourists' reluctance to visit Spain due to these issues, citing concerns about safety and resentment from locals.
