The extension of their services between the archipelago and the mainland and between islands at Easter Week

The councillor for Housing, Territory and Mobility, Marta Vidal, met last week with executives from the airlines Iberia Express and Air Nostrum to analyse and confirm a series of improvements in connectivity between the Balearic Islands and Madrid and other destinations on the peninsula for Easter, as well as to increase the frequency of the current routes from Mallorca to Eivissa and Menorca.

On the one hand, Councillor Vidal met with the CEO of Iberia Express, Carlos Gómez, to analyse and improve the connectivity that the company offers between the Balearic Islands and Madrid. For Easter Week, and specifically between 21 March and 1 April, Iberia Express has scheduled 24 additional flights, which represents an increase of 11% between the Balearic Islands and the capital.

The Eivissa-Madrid route will offer a total of 90 flights; the Maó-Madrid route, 13; and finally the Palma to Madrid route, 160, with a total of 263 flights. This increase in the number of flights will mean a capacity of almost 50,000 seats for this period.

In addition, the company, which operates short and medium-haul flights, announced that for the summer season, which begins on 31 March and ends on 26 October, it will offer more than 1.1 million seats between Madrid and Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza. This represents an 88% increase with the Balearic Islands compared to Iberia Express capacity in the 2019 summer season, and a 22% increase compared to the 2023 season. In the breakdown by islands, this summer Iberia Express will increase its capacity by 17% with Mallorca, 25% with Eivissa and 33% with Menorca.

In her meeting with Air Nostrum, the councillor, Marta Vidal, discussed with the company’s founder and president, Carlos Bertomeu, the four new special routes that the company has scheduled between Palma and several cities on the peninsula (Badajoz, Vigo, León and Valladolid) and the increase in frequency on inter-island flights.

As for inter-island activity, Air Nostrum will add an extra frequency to the routes from Mallorca to Eivissa and Menorca on the 24th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 31st March and 1st April.
