The selection process to enter the Senior Scale of Specialists in Transport, Infrastructure and Safety of the Autonomous Bodies and State Agencies of the Ministry of Transport takes a decisive step: the Under-Secretary publishes the provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates, sets the date of the first exam, and corrects errors detected in the bases of the original call published on April 29, 2026. The resolution was published in the BOE of July 8, 2026.
What does this resolution establish?
The resolution regulates four specific aspects of the selection process:
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates | The list of admitted and excluded candidates for the two specialties called is published |
| Remedial period for excluded candidates | 10 business days from July 8, 2026 to remedy defects or appeal for inclusion |
| First exercise | October 2, 2026 at 9:30 AM at AESA headquarters (Paseo de la Castellana 112, Madrid) |
| Correction of errors in the bases | The draw for the third exercise will be conducted by specialty (not jointly); topics of the Air Operations and Navigation program are renumbered |
The two specialties called are:
- Air Transport Safety
- Air Operations and Navigation
Access is provided through two routes: general open access system and internal promotion. The original call was approved by Resolution of April 29, 2026.
Operational impact for candidates
This resolution has direct and immediate consequences for all candidates:
- Excluded candidates: the period to remedy defects runs from July 8. Anyone who does not act within 10 business days permanently loses their option to participate in the process.
- Admitted candidates: must prepare the logistics of the first exam in advance. The venue is in Madrid (Paseo de la Castellana 112), which means travel and accommodation for those residing outside the capital.
- All candidates: must review the correction of errors in the bases, especially those applying for the Air Operations and Navigation specialty, as the renumbering of program topics may affect their study planning.
- Draw for the third exercise: will be conducted by specialty, which changes the dynamics compared to what candidates from the original call could have initially interpreted.
Who does it affect?
- Candidates who applied for the call of April 29, 2026 for the Senior Scale of Specialists in Transport, Infrastructure and Safety
- Candidates for the Air Transport Safety specialty
- Candidates for the Air Operations and Navigation specialty
- Candidates through open access and internal promotion
- Civil servants of the Autonomous Bodies and State Agencies of the Ministry of Transport who applied for internal promotion
Practical example
Imagine that a candidate for the Air Operations and Navigation specialty residing in Barcelona receives notification that they are listed as excluded on the provisional list due to a defect in their documentation. They have until the last business day of the period (counting 10 business days from July 8, 2026) to submit the remedy to the Under-Secretary. If they do not, they will be permanently excluded from the process.
Additionally, this same candidate must review the renumbering of topics in their specialty's program, as the error correction may have altered the order of the blocks they had planned to study. Ignoring this change could lead them to prepare topics with a structure that is outdated compared to what will be evaluated on October 2, 2026.
On the other hand, an admitted candidate living outside Madrid will need to organize their travel to the AESA headquarters at Paseo de la Castellana 112 for 9:30 AM on October 2, which in practice means arranging accommodation for the night before.
What should candidates do now?
- Check the provisional list: access the BOE of July 8, 2026 or the electronic headquarters of the Ministry of Transport to verify whether you are listed as admitted or excluded.
- If you are excluded, act immediately: submit the remedy or appeal for inclusion within 10 business days from July 8. Do not wait until the last moment.
- Review the correction of errors in the bases: check whether the renumbering of topics in the Air Operations and Navigation program affects your study planning and adjust it if necessary.
- Take note of the change in the draw for the third exercise: the draw will be conducted by specialty, not jointly. Update your understanding of the process.
- Prepare the logistics of the first exam: note the date (October 2, 2026, 9:30 AM), the exact address (Paseo de la Castellana 112, Madrid), and mandatory materials: black or blue ink pen and valid identity document in force.
- Keep an eye on the final list: after the remedial period, the final list of admitted candidates will be published. Verify your status again before the exam.
