Air Europa breaks into profit and expands its flights

"Since May, flights on the Warsaw-Madrid routes are at last showing a profit. Now we are increasing our offer - from July 1 passengers will be able to fly to Madrid six times a week," said Robert Grzybowski, Air Europa's representative in Poland. The airline is scheduling its flights in such a way so as to give passengers the possibility of transferring in Madrid to long-haul flights, such as to Cancun in Mexico. Starting on November 1 last year, the company has also decided to park their plane in Okęcie airport overnight. Although this is an expensive decision it facilitates the possibility for passengers to travel to other destinations. Company representatives also announced plans to sign agreements in order to offer winter flights to the Caribbean, Brazil and Venezuela. "Air Europa simultaneously launched its services in Warsaw and Prague, and the difference in the attractiveness of the two capitals is already clear. With regards flights to Madrid, there are more Poles going to Madrid than Czechs, however, the other way around it is the opposite. This is a result of a much better promotion of the Czech capital in Spain," added Grzybowski. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) A.K.
