Turkish: su presidente habla sobre si planea controlar Air Europa

✈ Turkish Airlines' chairman, Ahmet Bolat, announced plans to buy a 26-27% stake in Air Europa for €300 million. He clarified their intent to collaborate rather than control, respecting EU rules against majority ownership by non-EU airlines. Turkish Airlines launched its sixth Spanish route, connecting Seville to Istanbul daily, increasing its Spanish flights to 91 per week. They first entered Spain in 1984. Ajet will start direct flights from Ankara to Madrid and Barcelona in late October.

Aval político a Airbnb pese a un 80% de gente en contra

🏠 In October 2024, a survey by the Balearic Islands' AETIB showed 79.6% support limiting rental cars, while 80.5% favor restricting vacation rentals. 61.8% oppose private vacation rentals, largely due to rising housing costs over the past decade linked to Airbnb and Booking. A sample of 2,008 residents across Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera was polled. Despite public opposition, local governments have facilitated and regularized these rentals.

Hoteleros también sufren al caerse los extras

🏨 In 2025, the restaurant sector in Mallorca saw a significant decline, with August credit card payments indicating a 30% drop compared to 2024. While table occupancy remained stable, customer spending on dining out decreased. Hotel giants like Marriott also reported lower spending by guests beyond room charges, affecting additional services. Despite an increase in hotel guests, shorter stays led to more check-ins and check-outs. Notably, German tourist numbers fell due to economic pressures.

El ganador del verano: el supermercado

🛒 Supermarkets emerged as the summer's winners, benefiting from the rise of Airbnb-style tourism, while restaurants and shops reported revenue declines. This trend, seen notably in Spain, reduces stable employment and tax contributions. The average trip duration to Spain decreased, with more airport movements but fewer overnight stays. Despite hotel quality improvements, cost-conscious tourists dominate alternative accommodations. Governments, including the Balearic Islands, promote this model, though unions and travel agencies call for regulatory changes.

Ryanair y Aena noquean a Santa Cruz, La Laguna y El Puerto de la Cruz

✈ Ryanair's base closure at Tenerife Norte impacts Santa Cruz, La Laguna, and Puerto de la Cruz due to Aena's fee hikes. Connectivity between Tenerife and Spain suffers as Ryanair axes routes to six cities, leaving Vueling and Binter to cover some routes. The move affects local hospitality and commerce sectors. Ryanair's exit is unusual given its profitability and the resident discount benefits, but competitors can't match Ryanair's demand level.

Aena critica a Ryanair lo mismo en lo que ella cae

🛫 Aena criticizes Ryanair's communication style, labeling it as "blackmail and hypocrisy." Despite acknowledging Ryanair's often disrespectful approach, Aena's response mirrored this tone. Ryanair's provocative style, rooted in its early cost-saving strategies, still defines its identity. The core issue is not Ryanair's profit motive but the economic impact of Aena's significant fee hikes, potentially diverting a million tourists to competitor countries during Spain's economic slowdown.
