Tenerife es un destino de primera con aeropuertos de segunda

🏠 Tenerife's high tourist season is set to begin, benefiting almost half the population involved in tourism. The island's southern region, especially Costa Adeje, sees significant improvements due to luxury hotel and residential developments. However, housing issues and traffic congestion remain problematic. The Insular Ring project could alleviate traffic and housing access. Both Tenerife airports require urgent updates, particularly Tenerife Norte, which struggles with capacity. Aena's delayed renovations highlight infrastructure challenges compared to airports in Madrid, Barcelona, and Palma.

La aviación de Rusia, al límite: perderá más de 300 aviones

🛩 Russia's aviation faces severe challenges due to sanctions from the Ukraine invasion, risking the loss of over 300 aircraft by 2030—one-third of its fleet. Rosaviatsiya's Dmitri Yádrov notes that 339 aircraft, mostly domestic and 40-60 years old, may be dismantled. With 1,135 planes across 76 airlines, only 1,088 are operational. Manufacturing goals of 200 aircraft by 2030 are hindered by material import issues; only seven commercial planes were produced by late 2024.
