There are different disagreements about the name of the airport. The Ministry of Transport had accepted the proposal to name the Melilla airport after Virgilio Leret, who invented the jet engine which he patented in 1935.
The local government is in favor of naming streets and infrastructures after people from Melilla, as is the case of Antonio Molina, civil guard murdered by the ETA terrorist group in 2002. Furthermore, he claims that Virgilio Leret, the Republican military engineer who was shot in the Civil War, is not the right person to bear the name of the airport.
