Digital Training Voucher Air Transport 2026: what changes with SENASA

Key data

Companies in the aeronautical and air navigation sector that want to access European funds for digital training have a development they cannot ignore: the conditions of the agreement with SENASA, the entity that manages these subsidies, have just changed. The Resolution of April 13, 2026 from the State Secretariat for Transport and Sustainable Mobility publishes the amendment that modifies that agreement.

The Digital Training Voucher in Transport program, financed with Next Generation EU funds within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, aims to cover digital training costs for workers in the transport sector. SENASA acts as a collaborating entity: it is the one who manages and processes subsidy applications in the aeronautical field. Any change in that agreement directly affects how companies access these grants.

What does this regulation establish?

The amendment modifies the original agreement between the State Secretariat for Transport and Sustainable Mobility and SENASA. The adjustment affects the conditions under which SENASA performs its role as a collaborating entity in the management and processing of program subsidies.

The Digital Training Voucher in Transport program is framed within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, financed by the European Union through Next Generation EU. Its purpose is to promote the digitalization of transport sector workers through specific training.

The regulation does not detail the specific subsidy amounts or application deadlines in the published text. To learn about the specific amounts and economic conditions, it is necessary to consult the current call for the program.

Economic and operational impact

The direct impact for companies in the aeronautical sector is one of opportunity: the program offers European financing to cover digital training for its workers. The modification of the agreement with SENASA may involve changes in application procedures, processing deadlines, or required documentation requirements.

From an operational perspective, companies that were already in the process of applying or had planned to access these grants must verify that their management complies with the updated conditions. Acting on outdated requirements could result in subsidy denial or delays in its processing.

The fact that financing comes from Next Generation EU means that justification and compliance controls are especially strict, following the audit standards of European funds applicable to these funds.

Who does it affect?

• Companies in the aeronautical sector that want to finance digital training for their employees through the Digital Training Voucher program.
• Air navigation companies that operate in Spain and have workers capable of receiving training in digital skills.
• Air transport workers who may be direct beneficiaries of training vouchers.
• HR and training managers in companies in the sector that manage subsidy applications before SENASA.
• External advisors and managers who process these grants on behalf of companies in the aeronautical sector.

Practical example

An airport handling company with 80 workers decides to apply for the Digital Training Voucher to finance a training program in digital tools for operational management. Until now, it processed that application through SENASA following the procedure established in the original agreement.

With the entry into force of this amendment, the conditions of that agreement have changed. If the HR manager of that company submits the application without verifying the new requirements, they may find that the required documentation or submission deadlines have changed. The practical result would be a delay in processing or, in the worst case, the inadmissibility of the application.

The correct action is to contact SENASA or consult the updated call before starting any procedure, to ensure that the process complies with the current conditions derived from this amendment.

What should companies do now?

1. Verify if you already had an application underway: If your company was processing or planning to apply for the Digital Training Voucher through SENASA, check whether the process initiated remains valid under the new agreement conditions.
2. Consult updated requirements with SENASA: Contact SENASA directly to find out what specific conditions have changed and how they affect your application or future applications.
3. Review the current program call: Access the official information of the Digital Training Voucher in Transport program to confirm deadlines, amounts, and required documentation under the new conditions.
4. Identify eligible workers: If you have not yet applied for these grants, evaluate which employees of your company in the aeronautical or air navigation sector could benefit from financed digital training.
5. Consult the official source: Access the full text of the resolution in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-8781) to learn the exact details of the modifications introduced by the amendment.
