Palma.—The motion was tabled by Partido Popular senators and approved yesterday evening and the move has been welcomed by the Balearic tourist industry and the regional airports.
For the past few winters, the number of regular flights between the Balearics and key markets such as Germany and the UKhave declined drastically.
Mainly due to the lack of hotels remaining open but also because of the high cost of operating at Balearics airports.
However, now, Balearic airports will be able to offer airlines discount operating costs which should lead to more flight connections this winter.
