✈ Ryanair, in Spain, is repositioning its aircraft to enhance profitability, says Aena's president, Maurici Lucena, denying the decision is linked to Aena's 6.5% tariff hike, which equals €0.68 per passenger. Other airlines, like EasyJet and Vueling, will replace Ryanair on these routes, but it will take time. Lucena describes Ryanair's actions as seeking subsidies and avoiding political costs of exiting some airports.

🛩 El 14 de septiembre de 2025, el aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas en España recibió un Antonov An-26B de la aerolínea ucraniana Vulkan Air, un visitante raro en el lugar.

✈ Eurowings plans to open a maintenance center in Palma de Mallorca, using Globalia's facilities. CEO Jens Bischof seeks available land to strengthen their presence, operating over 400 weekly flights from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in peak season with nearly 1,000 employees. Concerns include rising hotel prices in Mallorca and increased competition from Turkey. Airport and security fees in Germany have doubled post-pandemic, challenging their low-margin business.

✈ Avelo, a small U.S. airline with 22 Boeing 737s, has committed to buying 100 Embraer E195-E2 aircraft—50 firm orders and 50 optional. The deal could total $4.4 billion before discounts. Deliveries are expected by early 2027. The E195-E2 seats 120-146 passengers and suits Avelo's low-demand routes on the East Coast and selected destinations in Oregon and Washington. Avelo will be the only U.S. airline operating Embraer, following JetBlue's retirement of older models.

To maintain operations amid high demand. The issue is now resolved with all eight aircraft, including five A330s and one A320, back in service.

🚨 Trablisa, a security company, challenges a strike at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, initiated by 21 out of over 850 workers.

Trablisa emphasizes agreement adherence, pointing to recent wage improvements, including a 16% pay increase. The company requests the strike be canceled, advocating for legal negotiation to maintain security and stability.
