Ryanair alienta una guerra de tasas aéreas en Europa

✈ Ryanair plans growth by 2025, threatening to shift aircraft to countries with lower airport fees. In Spain, Aena's 0.54% fee increase for 2025 could impede Ryanair's goal to grow from 58 million to over 77 million passengers in ten years. The airline demands CNMC intervention to freeze fees until 2026. Meanwhile, Ryanair faces similar issues in Greece and Germany, reducing Berlin traffic due to high costs. Contrarily, Italy's Calabria tax cut led to Ryanair adding four planes and 15 new routes, and Sweden's aviation charge review may attract significant investment over six years.

Wizz Air abre una academia de pilotos en la capital albanesa

🚀 Wizz Air, a Hungarian low-cost airline, opened a pilot academy in Tirana, Albania due to the country's rising popularity as a tourist destination and the lack of local pilots, resulting from Albania's extended period of self-imposed isolation. The academy aims to attract local interest and has expanded to include students from other countries. A recruitment session for non-Albanian students was held on September 10. The Tirana base employs 400 people but lacks local pilots due to Albania's negligible aviation history.
