Air Europa is eyeing up opportunities created by Air Berlin's decision to withdraw from all but two of its routes to and from Palma. The airline's president, Juan José Hidalgo, says that an in-depth analysis will be made, as he sees the Air Berlin move as offering Air Europa a chance to grow its business in Europe. At present, it flies to only two German cities - Frankfurt and Munich (both from Madrid) - but the number could be expanded in the medium term.

Hope you get your Volotea flights Malcolm. They have just cancelled my 4 flights in October with no reasons given. Only €25 per person compensation. I am very disappointed as I had great faith in this airline. Reliability is the game with airlines. They need our trust in booking ahead for competitive prices. We don't need to be let down like this. I have re-booked my flights with other airlines - but of course much more expensive at this late date.
I flew with Volatea from Southampton last year and will do again this year. Very happy with the service.
No thanks S. Ryanair is a horrible nasty airline. I havd used most airlines to Mallorca and they are miles behind the others for comfort and service. I think Monarch are the best, but Easyjet, Thomson/Tui and Jet2 are all superior to Ryanair also.
I am surprised RYANAIR have not picked up on some of the "Slots" left by Air Berlin. BUT AENA will no doubt be charging silly landing fees through the Winter. Especially if the Aircraft go on to stands. Ryanair usually use 'D' dispersal , and not the stands ( Air Bridge ). It would save storing Ryanair's Aircraft in various low cost charging countries, during the Winter.
