Barceló crece en lo rural y las gangas

🏠 Grupo Barceló, liderado por Simón Pedro Barceló, compra Rusticae, apostando por turismo rural en pequeñas ciudades o suburbios. Prefiere áreas menos competitivas, como León, Valladolid, y las afueras de París, evitando 'prime' locations con altos precios. Es el segundo grupo turístico más rentable en España, tras Riu. A diferencia de Riu y Meliá, que optan por escalas grandes y lujo, Barceló se enfoca en adquisiciones modestas, beneficiándose de sus resorts en el Caribe.

Air Europa-Turkish: libre de ‘antiopas’ y de Bruselas

✈ Los Hidalgo, en 2024, facilitan que Turkish Airlines adquiera un 26% de Air Europa, evadiendo regulaciones en Madrid y Bruselas y el 'escudo antiopas' español. Globalia mantiene control con el 54%, mientras IAG posee un 20%. Bruselas impide reforzar a Iberia, debilitando los 'hubs' europeos frente a Estambul. Moncloa prioriza recuperar un préstamo de 475 millones de euros de la SEPI. Este movimiento ilustra la creciente influencia de aeropuertos como Estambul y Doha.

Air Europa: un rescate y un veto para beneficiar a potencias islámicas

🛫 The Spanish Government and the European Commission allowed the Hidalgo family to remain the main shareholders of Air Europa, preventing Iberia's acquisition. Turkish Airlines and Etihad, both state-owned, are potential investors to help Air Europa clear its debt with SEPI, while SEPI aims to keep significant Spanish companies under national control. Despite state rescues for Air France-KLM and Lufthansa, Air Europa's ownership remains unchanged, risking its future control by an Islamic world power.

Air Europa: implicaciones de Turkish o Etihad

✈ Turkish and Etihad may join Air Europa, impacting Iberia by preventing Air France-KLM or Lufthansa from dominating Madrid.

Air Europa, part of Skyteam, recently signed agreements with both Turkish and Etihad. Qatar, IAG's major shareholder, leaves Turkish and Etihad as viable partners.
