The Chamber warmly welcomes the new carrier Ándalus Air to Gibraltar.

The re-start of the route from Gibraltar to Madrid is a most welcome addition to the existing routes to London and Manchester. Twice daily flights during the week and once at weekends, offers excellent flexibility.
In full knowledge that other carriers had tried, and failed to make the route work, Ándalus Air studied the market carefully, listening to the suggestions of the local business community. As a result we have an early morning departure, as well as an evening return to and from Madrid. By using small fifty seat business jets on the route, it should be sustainable.

Ándalus has already announced a Gibraltar to Barcelona route which will commence on the first of June. This route will have a daily flight, apart from Saturdays. The Managing Director of Ándalus also indicated to the Chamber that Ándalus may well introduce a service to Bilbao in the future.

The Chamber congratulates the airline and the Government for all the hard work in bringing this new service to fruition.
