Iberia monopoly again?

Yes, sorry. When I type too quickly my English is a bit funny. 🙁

Non problema, glad you survived your last flight!:D

So no competence, if Iberia is able to get Spanair too.

Goverment has said they greet the idea. So again defending the companies interests and no consumers one.

Thanks for the additional information.

Let me requote what I think you are saying! “So, no competition if Iberia is able to get Spanair too. The Government has said they approve the idea, so again defending the companies interests and not the interests of the consumer.” 🙂

SAS is selling it. So initially Marsans (owner of Marsans Travel, Aerolineas Argentinas, Air Comet…..and on on) wanted to buy it. Remember it bellonged to Marsans before being sold to SAS.

So, they has announced that they won t bid for it, and only Iberia will do it.

Iberia controls. Air Nostrum, Clickair (being a process of eating Vueling) and Air Europa with a clear intention of getting into a sort of alliance with Iberia. So no competence, if Iberia is able to get Spanair too.

Goverment has said they greet the idea. So again defending the companies interests and no consumers one.

Spanair to no longer exist ?

Happily flying today, 100% owned by SAS according to Wiki. 😀

Spanair to no longer exist ?

Well Air Comet doesn´t operate in the domestic market, and has serious problems with Aerolineas Argentinas, in terms of nationalism pride, getting rid of colonialists Spanish and all that stuff.

So, they haven´t been able to buy Spanair, since they simply don´t know if what will happen in South America. This was vital for them, because they needed Spanair and the domestic market to feed their South American things, specially the A380.

So, we have Iberia controlling Clickair, possibly Vueling, Air Nostrum, now Spanair. What´s left?: Air Europe with a kind of sort of small domestic market, and in alliance with Air France to create something called Universal Airlines (using EMB195) orientated to feed Air Europa flights in MAD, and Air France in CDG. So no many alternatives for manyy regional airports.

Yes things are getting nasty over here. 🙁

I would not say monopoly, although they are getting very big. However, Air Comet is still around and seems to be growing rapidly with some well financed backers.
