Air Europa will enhance the connection between Malaga and Madrid. The company announced at its stand at the International Tourism Fair (Fitur) ... that from this Saturday until the next February 2, when the railway connection is scheduled to open, it will increase its seat offer by 10,800 more seats than currently available. "We are going to continue increasing the air capacity on this route. We have already done so on several occasions since the accident occurred," they stated. Specifically, they noted that they will add thirty frequencies during the mentioned period, which means sixty more flights on those dates.

It is worth remembering that since last Tuesday they added one more flight to the usual operation between Malaga and Madrid. In this way, it went from four frequencies a day, that is, four flights there and four flights back, to five daily flights. Initially, this operation was maintained until next Friday. However, they specified that "we are analyzing the possibility of adding more flights in the following days." The plane added at the beginning was a Boeing 737, with a capacity for about 180 passengers, which will add 360 extra seats.

However, shortly after, they communicated new reinforcements to further enhance connectivity between the Costa del Sol and the capital of Spain. Thus, to the additional frequency already mentioned, they added two more flights on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, totaling seven frequencies on each of these days. And now, on the first day of Fitur, they again increase the capacity of this route with 10,800 seats. From Air Europa, they point out that although they have not established fares with capped prices, "there will not be exorbitantly priced tickets."

Precisely, at Fitur, it celebrates its 40 years of existence, transporting travelers eager to enjoy vacations and explore the world. Air Europa has been flying since 1986. Currently, it has a fleet of 59 aircraft, including Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Boeing 737 models, with new Airbus A350-900s soon to join. This Spanish airline flies to more than 55 destinations worldwide and holds a strategic position at the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport hub, connecting Europe and America.

Iberia has also strengthened air connectivity with Madrid. It does so with new flights until February 2, with an additional flight per day, and they emphasize that, in this case, the price continues to be capped at 99 euros per trip in tourist class. Additionally, it has activated a flexibility policy for customers traveling from Andalusia to Madrid to connect with the company's flights. "Given the problems on the railway line, those who have difficulties traveling normally can request a change of dates or a refund voucher for their tickets," they explained.
