  About Air Europa

Air Europa Líneas Aéreas, S.A.U. or better known by its brand name Air Europa, is the third-largest Spanish airline, following Iberia and Vueling Airlines. The airline has its headquarters in Llucmajor, Mallorca, Spain with its main hub at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. Air Europa's secondary focus cities are Palma de Mallorca Airport and Tenerife North Airport, both located in Spain. The airline covers about 44 destinations in Spain, North America, Europe, the Caribbean, Tunisia, South America and Morocco. Air Europa is wholly owned by Globalia, a tourism enterprise that is managed by Juan José Hidalgo with operations of domestic, medium-haul and long haul flights. The airline joined the SkyTeam alliance in 2007. Much recently, Air Europa made an announcement that its operations and management will be acquired by the International Airlines Group (IAG). The airline came into existence in 1986 as a part of ILG-Air Europe Group, a privately owned British airline that was established in 1978. Seventy-five per cent of Air Europa's stakes were owned by many Spanish banks. Initially, the airline's livery was quite similar to that of Air Europe but with a difference in the titles and aircraft that were registered in Spain.

Air Europa commenced charter flights for holiday destinations in the Mediterranean resorts as well as European cities by utilising Boeing 737-300s and Boeing 757s. Air Europa was recognised as the first Spanish private enterprise to operate scheduled flights on a national level. In 1991, the airline's parent company ILG Air Europe ceased operations and trading. However, this did not affect Air Europa, which continued to rake in huge profit margin with their fleet that consisted of Boeing 737s and 757s. A few years later, in 1998, Air Europa signed a franchise agreement with Spain's top airline, Iberia. The agreement has been dissolved since. In fact, Air Europa's business is now owned and operated by Globalia Corporación Empresarial S.A. With the 1990s ending, the airline brought in Boeing 737-800 jets which were introduced with the airline's brand new livery. In 2005, it was announced by SkyTeam that Air Europa along with four more airlines, would be associating with the airline alliance club. The airline was originally supposed to join SkyTeam alliance by 2006. However, the process was postponed to 2007.

Further, as plans of expansion and newer investment opportunities were scouted, Air Europa introduced Air Dominicana, the former flag carrier of the Dominican Republic, which declared bankruptcy by 2009. In 2019, Air Europa received permission from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil to operate domestic flights in the country, making it the first-ever foreign enterprise to receive such authorisation from Brazil. The same was possible due to the changes made to the Brazilian laws. However, updates or details regarding Air Europa's domestic operations in Brazil have not been shared yet. Currently, Air Europa only serves international flights to two of Brazil's destinations, Salvador and Recife from Madrid. With over 66 aircraft operations that took place, Air Europa generated an operating profit of €100 million, as of 2018. In 2019, the parent company of Iberia, Vueling Airlines and British Airways, IAG, announced that the plan to acquire Air Europa from Globalia for a whopping €1 billion. The deal is yet to be closed and is speculated to happen in 2020. This synergy will enhance Madrid as a hub that could compete with Paris, Frankfurt and London in Europe.
