Trump le hace la campaña gratis a España: alemanes e ingleses rechazan a USA

📌 Donald Trump's recent controversies have inadvertently promoted Spain as an alternative destination for German and British tourists, leading to a decline in US summer travel interest. US reservations dropped by 20-50% depending on the market. March statistics reveal a 17% decrease in European visitors to the US compared to the previous year, with British tourists down by 15% and Germans by 29%. Canadian tourism also fell by 32% in March, potentially affecting 15,000 American jobs. Trump is blamed for damaging the US's reputation as a welcoming country.

American rompe el acuerdo de código compartido con Level

✈ American Airlines suspended code-share agreements with Level on flights between Barcelona and Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco due to Level becoming an independent airline with its own structure, aircraft, and certification. This requires a series of audits, and American's policy prohibits code-sharing without these certifications. Level, soon operating under its own code rather than Iberia's, will be 50.1% owned by Iberia. The changes will be minimal as the aircraft used will remain the same.

Transavia, filial de Air France, a por Bélgica, territorio Lufthansa

✈ Transavia, part of Air France KLM group, is expanding its low-cost operations. Transavia Holland has decided to set up a base in Brussels, Belgium, starting in 2026, intensifying flights from Zaventem, Belgium's main airport. Previously, Transavia lacked a local crew in Brussels, which limited its presence. The move aims to reduce costs associated with transferring staff from the Netherlands and capitalize on lower costs in Brussels—€25 less per traveler than Amsterdam. However, Transavia faces internal issues with fleet changes from B737 to A320.

Los gobiernos contra los ciudadanos

🏖 Mastercard study in France reveals 76% of 15,000 respondents plan to increase tourism spending, with one-third of French citizens intending to spend a minimum of €1,000 per person on travel this year. Despite public desire, France and Germany implement strict policies limiting air travel due to environmental reasons, leading to potential conflict between government actions and voter preferences. The Spanish government holds an ambiguous stance, with left-leaning pressures for a green agenda. European countries like France, Ireland, Netherlands, and Germany are expected to face challenges due to these conflicting views.

Los ecologistas piden frenar la “invasión turística” al Teide

🌋 Ecologists urge Tenerife's Cabildo to protect Teide National Park from tourist damage. Jaime Coello, a director at an environmental foundation, criticizes both the high number of visitors reaching the summit and their disrespect for the environment. EuroNews reported Coello's concerns, highlighting inaction on the escalating situation. Teide, Spain's highest peak at 3,718 meters, attracts three million annual visitors, making it Europe's most visited park. Access by car leads to frequent congestion and parking excess, contributing to the chaotic conditions.
