Established in December 1986, Spanair (Palma de Mallorca, then Barcelona) began operations in March 1988. Unfortunately the charter airline ceased all operations at midnight on January 27, 2012.
Today in the Majorca Daily Bulletin :
Other airlines will “pick up” where Spanair left off
Palma de Majorca.—Speaking yesterday with regional hoteliers’ associations who have expressed concern over the grounding of Spanish airline Spanair, Balearic President José Ramón Bauzá said that it is “probable” that in order to maintain levels of air connections, “other carriers” will cover the routes which Spanair previously operated.
The head of Majorca’s Hotel Federation (FEHM) Inmaculada de Benito explained that the President had been referring to airlines which are already well established such as Iberia, Air Nostrum and Air Europa.
De Benito said that Bauzá had claimed he had been in contact early yesterday morning with Ana Pastor, Central Government’s Minister for Development and Public Works over the matter. The Minister had claimed that if there were package tours that had already been purchased with Spanair, they were “in the minority” and that tour operators had already been in contact with other airlines to resolve the issue.
