Traspié de Norwegian

🛫 Norwegian transported 1.75 million passengers in December. Despite celebratory press statements, investors reacted negatively, leading to a stock price dip on the Oslo exchange. The reason? Passenger numbers were lower compared to the previous December. While it's not catastrophic, it highlights the risks of overreliance on marketing spin. Norwegian's future plans remain on track, but this incident serves as a reminder of the ease of self-deception in corporate communications.

La Constitución y El Prat

✈ The Generalitat of Cataluña announced its plan to create an airport authority to influence Barcelona's hub on Thursday. The Spanish Constitution's Article 149 states that airports of general interest are an exclusive state competence. However, the state has allowed regional autonomy in some areas. The Tribunal Constitucional might interpret these rules to allow regional control, challenging Aena's dominance and potentially altering governance based on political leverage and regional votes.
