cancellations

Delays and cancellations are putting a hole in Renfe’s accounts. So he’s going to start his own bus company.

by

Renfe Viajeros… by bus. That has been one of the usual trends in recent months, with the company plagued by incidents that have prevented it from providing the service normally. The situation has been so complicated that, it is estimated, the impact of alternative services exceeds 10 million euros each year. The solution: create your own bus network. And Renfe is already looking for a partner. Looking for a partner. The information is brought The Countrywhere it is stated that Renfe is looking for a partner to start its own bus company. The idea would be very simple: Renfe would control 49% of the company and 51% would fall on the side of the collaborator. According to the newspaper, the proposal has already passed the board of directors of Renfe and Renfe Viajeros. Now, therefore, it remains to carry out the tender so that those companies that are interested in offering support to Renfe can sign up. The initial idea would be to have dozens of buses (between 50 and 100, according to the newspaper) to provide service in specific contexts. In Xataka We have contacted Renfe but when we wrote these lines we have not received a response. Because? Because Renfe is spending money on offering an alternative on wheels to its customers. When an incident interrupts the service, Renfe has to have a alternative road transport system. Right now, he has to pay an outside company, renting the buses and related expenses, such as staff. Having its own fleet would entail an expense of around 60 million euros, according to the initial accounts that have been raised. However, the newspaper points out that there are savings of between 90 and 130 million after a decade. That is, each year on average you would be saving about 10 million euros or a slightly higher figure. From the media they collect that the model used will be that of “negotiated procedure with advertising”. This means that Renfe will receive proposals but will be able to negotiate the conditions with the companies that have a more solvent offer. It is an exceptional procedure in the public procurement system. Exceptional situation. The premise, therefore, is to have a fixed fleet of buses and drivers, without having to subcontract and pay others to perform exceptional road services. Until now, the company has to search the market for drivers and buses that are available when a line is cut due to an unforeseen event. In recent years, the problem has been especially serious for the company. The DANA of Valenciathe fires in Galicia and León and the recent cutting of the southern corridor as consequence of the Adamuz accident in Córdoba has forced Renfe to maintain active service with buses for weeks. What does Renfe expect? Attract companies that have been seeing their business contract. And since The Country They point out that Renfe believes that there is more than enough business to keep the contracted buses active for at least 10 years. In fact, the contract would be for a decade, extendable to another five years, and they say that demand peaks could multiply current ones by nine. The movement could be interesting for bus companies because, right now, There are route tenders that are half dead and in which work is done with very low demand. Some of these companies would find a new outlet for their vehicles with each Renfe breakdown or incident in the infrastructure. In addition, it must be taken into account that the impact on the accounts may be greater when the incident (such as those described above) is not scheduled because forces Renfe to enter a market with few drivers and with companies that know the urgency of the company. Forced. It must be taken into account that a good part of Renfe’s business continues to be public. Therefore, you have the obligation to provide an alternative service when incidents occur on high speed but also if, for example, there are incidents on Cercanías or Rodalies. Any improvement in facilities that requires the interruption of rail traffic is replaced with buses.

In a chaotic 2025 of cancellations and delays, Renfe does have good news: record number of travelers

by

Renfe has had one of its most chaotic years in 2025. The company has had to face more competition than ever, it has suffered delays due to its own trains and infrastructure, it has seen Talgo trains crack or how fires blocked its most profitable line. And, despite everything, he has achieved a new record. 37.3 million. They are the people who have traveled on AVE and long-distance Renfe trains. And in 2025 the company has managed to move more people than ever on these trains. The figure is 6% higher than that achieved a year ago when it added 35.2 million trips. According to data provided by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, the bulk of these trips are made up of the AVE, which has set a new record with 21.5 million trips. That’s a million more travelers than last year. Although AVLO is the company that has had the best performance, growing from 4.55 million in 2024 to 6.2 million travelers in 2025. Where? According to Transport, the corridor that continues to receive the most passengers is the Madrid-Barcelona route ending in Figueres. In total, Renfe has attracted 8.1 million passengers to this corridor. The figure is almost identical to last year’s. The Levante and Mediterranean corridor (which connects Madrid with the Valencian Community and Murcia) is where the impact on passenger growth has been felt most. Here, trips have increased from 5.5 million to 7.7 million. Andalusia has also experienced growth from 6.9 million travelers to 7.2 million. Although the corridor that has added the most passengers is the Madrid-Castilla y León-Galicia one. Adding its routes and the connection with Asturias has gone from 2.5 million travelers in 2024 to 4.6 million. Doubts. What Renfe leaves up in the air is how much passenger volume has been lost on other lines. In his statement It is not explained, for example, how many passengers there are in the Extremadura corridor. And if the data is well transmitted, there are lines that have had to lose the number of passengers. The text mentions, as we said, an increase of 2.1 million passengers in the sum of high-speed and long-distance lines. However, there is talk of increases of 2.2 million passengers in the Mediterranean corridor, 2.1 million in the northwest area and 300,000 more passengers in Andalusia, without mentioning the inevitable drops in passengers on other lines. A chaotic year. Although it is the year in which it has moved the most passengers, 2025 has been a chaotic year for Renfe, marked by the following milestones: And some good things. In addition to increasing the number of travelers, 2025 has also had some good things for Renfe. To begin with, it has been confirmation that the train can fight the plane as long as high-speed trains work with guarantee. And the fact is that Madrid-Galicia has made the airlines retreat. The company, Renfe points out, continues to be the most used in all corridors (although it is not specified that it is the one that works the most frequencies) and its travelers will be able to benefit from the new flat rate ticket of 60 euros to take all medium and long distance trains and that is pending the addition, potentially, of municipal or regional public transport. Furthermore, and although this is not so good for Renfe but for the user, travelers we should be able to receive refunds partial or total delays of more than 15 minutes this year.

We have asked Renfe what alternatives we have to the cancellations of the AVE in Galicia. There are good and bad news

by

For sixth consecutive day, the high -speed circulation of the Galician corridor remains suspended. The service between Madrid and the Galician cities is provided only partially and in extraordinary frequencies. We have spoken with Renfe and consumer associations to know what their alternatives are. Sixth day without bird. Renfe cannot provide the high speed service of the Galician corridor as a whole. So The company itself confirmed it on its social networks but On its website Information about the latest news related to the railway situation between Madrid and Galicia is not found. No, at least, with a first glance. It is the result of the serious fires that are ravaging Zamora, León and Ourense, which They do not allow for sure to the high speed line. Given the impossibility of guaranteeing an improvement in them and, therefore, an opening of the line, Renfe confirmed almost at 11:00 am that all trains of today Tuesday, August 19, were suspended. Click on the image to go to the original tweet To (or from) Zamora. The solution that Renfe is giving is that passengers who prefer can travel from Madrid to Zamora or start their trip to the capital in the latter city, if it moves in the opposite direction. It is a patch that also requires adapting to Special schedules because the usual frequencies or schedules are not being fulfilled. Arriving in Galicia from Zamora or arriving in Zamora from the Galician community has already been in charge of the client. The latter is the one who has to look for life to take the train or reach its original destination. Something that, from Facua, they point out, should not happen. Buses? Jordi Castilla, Facua spokesman, explains that Renfe has the obligation to allow the change of ticket or its cancellation for free. Something that is already doing. However, it specifies that the company has to “relocate the person in an alternative environment without any cost.” From Xataka We have asked Renfe about this possibility and if they are valuing to include it in the next few days but we have not obtained an answer. Nor have those who In social networks they are asking Link Galicia with Zamora by bus since the main roads remains open. From Facua they emphasize that if the suspend and Renfe service does not offer this possibility, the client has the right to use a public transport means (such as a bus) and claim the money from the company. Not so a private transport, so the airplanes would be discarded. Cancellation expenses could also be claimed, such as a hotel night. What if I want to travel to or from Zamora? In Xataka We have contacted Renfe’s customer service. From Facua they point out that if we have a ticket with departure in Madrid to a Galician city and cover the journey to Zamora (or we start it in this city to Madrid) we have the right to receive part of the previously paid ticket. The same has been confirmed to us from the customer service of the railway company but, unlike the change of tickets or its cancellation, it cannot be done by telephone. In this case, you have to perform a online claim by filling out the form which is facilitated on the web or attending the office of the origin or destination station. Little in advance. Until now, Renfe has preferred to hurry until the last moment the cancellation of the trains. To the point that the confirmation that no train would circulate today in the high -speed line has not reached almost noon. That is causing many users to ask the company through social networks like Twitter what will happen to their tickets. The answer is repeated in that case: the client will be informed by social networks, mail and SMS. The telephone service and the website are being referred to change or cancel the tickets but in X only reference is being made to the confirmed cancellations and not to the trains that, it is not confirmed, if they will circulate in the next few days. What if I travel the weekend? In Xataka We have asked Renfe’s customer service if possible change or cancel a ticket for next Friday. They have confirmed that yes, there would be no problem even without the company having not yet confirmed the cancellation. From Facua they explain that in this, and in any other case, there is no minimum anticipation time with which Renfe or any other company must operate. “It remains in the good or bad faith of the company because if you know that it will be impossible to travel, you should inform you as soon as possible so you can look for alternatives and not have to adapt at the last minute.” Despite this, we can confirm that by telephone, these returns are being admitted even though there are still no confirmed cancellations beyond today, August 19.

Ryanair will add a strike with delays and cancellations to the cocktail

by

This labor conflict adds to the long list of open fronts that Ryanair has in Spain, from labor problems with the salaries of your cabin staffthrough the sanctions for the Hand luggage collection or the increase in airport rates. Strike call and its dates. The Earth staff strike Convened by UGT FESMC and CGT affects all the bases and work centers of Blue Handling, the subcontract that operates for Ryanair in Spain. According to the official calendar, the strikes will take place: August 15, 16 and 17 They will be repeated every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and subsequent Sundays until December 31, 2025, which will affect strategic holidays for their traffic volume, such as November 1, the days before Christmas or end of the year. The Handling blue strikes will take place during the highest hours and, at that time, the company’s services will be interrupted by the billing, loading and assistance services in land for Ryanair, with the possibility of delays, cancellations and discomfort for passengers.

Users affected by the strikes can know the status of their flights from the page of Company’s travel information. From Facua Rememberthat, in case of cancellation, the European Regulation It establishes economic compensation of up to 600 euros. Why are they going to strike? The trigger for the strike is, according to The statement of the UGT union, a protest to stop “a strategy of precariousness and pressure on the template that violates basic labor rights and systematically disregard trade union demands.” In addition, it demands that the company withdraw the sanctions, comply with the sector agreements and open “a real negotiation process” with its workforce. The concrete claims are translated into the requirement of fair working hours, salary updates and respect for the fundamental rights of the 3,000 employees that form the Blue Handling staff. From UGT they lament for “having to reach these extremes and all the damages that may occur, of which the direct manager will be only and exclusively the company and its reckless acting with the workforce,” says the union statement. A new front for Ryanair. This new strike arrives In a tense context For Ryanair in Spain: the airline was already sanctioned with A fine of 150 million euros Retailing hand luggage as an additional service. In addition, the Airport rates rise and the closure of operations In some airports –How it happened recently In Valladolid– They accentuated the disagreements between the company, workers, government and users.

Prepare for a summer of delays and historical cancellations

by

Yes Summer holidays They were going to be very complicated for many Spaniards, or directly null because they find them impossible to materialize themfor which their bags can be made a perfect storm in the form of prediction. Europe warns: it is very possible that the typical summer air chaos is a thorough with what is to come. The perfect storm. Yes, the European Commission has warned that this summer the record of Delays and aerial cancellations due to one Critical combination of factors. Namely: the unprecedented demand after pandemic, the chronic shortage of air controllers, labor strikes and the impacts of climate change. The European air traffic control system operates to the limitmanaging near 37,000 daily flights In its most intense days, the maximum you can assume with the current template. Although traffic has increased by 5% compared to the same 2024 period, delays have also increased in equal proportion, predicting a repetition of chaos that marked the previous summer. The most affected areas: Key tourist destinations such as France, Germany, Greece and Spain, where “high” delays are anticipated due to the inability of the control centers to absorb the planned traffic flow. Strikes, obsolete systems and blackouts. One of the most critical foci is France, where The recent strikes of air controllers due to lack of personnel and aged equipment caused the 4,000 flight interruption In just two days. Europe Millionaire losses due to the operational collapse in Charles de Gaulle. The European Transportation Commissioner, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, has also indicated the reduction of airspace available in the continent as a direct consequence of the war in Ukrainewhich further overloads open routes. In this context, the call to the EU transport ministers It has been clear: States must ensure that aerial controllers comply with the promised capacity and are present where they are most needed. Climate change. To the technical and labor difficulties an increasing and unpredictable factor is added: Climate change. Forest fires have already forced to close temporarily Marseille airportwhile in Greece the high temperatures They forced the closure of tourist monuments such as acropolis. Community authorities fear that this type of extreme phenomena (Heat waves, storms, fires) become more frequent and dangerous for aviation. With airports “more busy than ever”, such as The Tzitzikostas Commissioner warnedthe risk of operating chaos is higher than ever. Slow formation. I pointed The Financial Times That another bottlenecks is structural: the formation of air controllers in Europe requires up to five yearswhich prevents an agile response to the growing demand. The commission collaborates with air security agencies to review these regulations, but immediate results are not expected. Meanwhile, associations such as IATA They accuse the managers of the European system of systematically breaking the capacity of capacity without consequences or sanctions, qualifying the situation of “unacceptable” and accusing a gap between the plans and the reality that “approaches the field of fantasy.” Fragmented sky. Air operators also insist that part of the problem It is political: The EU has not completed the initiative of the Unique European skywhich would allow to draw more direct routes between countries instead of the current fragmented system that forces aircraft to deviate through multiple intermediate points. This lack of coordination Increase costs operational, fuel consumption and flight times. As illustrated in the Times A high manager of a large tourism agency: “A London flight to Cyprus is not in a straight line, it crosses several unnecessary air points because Brussels has been exasperatingly slow.” The price to pay. If you want also, what is at stake is not only operational efficiency, but Trust of millions of passengers and The prestige of one of the dense and complex air spaces on the planet. Airlines already alert customer reaction: Anxiety, preventive cancellations and fear of summer collapse. With an air network to Edge of saturationwithout sufficient personnel reservations and with growing threats due to both natural and geopolitical causes, Europe faces the urgent challenge of reorganizing its air control system, modernizing its infrastructure and eliminating obstacles that prevent unified management. Otherwise, this summer aims to be, not only the worst in terms of delays and cancellations, but also the definitive notice that the sky of the old continent needs a revolution at several levels.

All closures and great cancellations

by

As we reported yesterday, Microsoft executed a new round of mass layoffs which has shaken a good number of departments from different regions. One of the most affected divisions has been Xbox. And among the 9,000 employees dismissed, we find important studies and cancellations in the company’s gaming division. What happened. Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, confirmed the cuts through An internal email where he explains that they seek to “position gaming for lasting success” and focus resources on “strategic growth areas.” The video game division had approximately 20,000 employees in January 2024, and these dismissals represent the fourth wave of mass cuts in the last 18 months. The games that have been lost. Perfect Dark, the expected restart of the classic franchise that started in Nintendo 64, has been canceled after seven years of turbulent development. The Initiative, the study created specifically for this project in 2018 with veterans such as Darrell Gallagher, has definitely closed. The game had shown A promising trailer In the Xbox Games Showcase of 2024, although we did not know more about him again. The enitiative closure marks a hard xbox stick, especially considering that they promised A new standard in industry with the development of its ‘quadruple to’. Perfect Dark thus remains without reboot, and is lost among the entire list of cancellations and studies closures of the firm. Among other games is also Everwildthe ambitious Rare project announced in 2014, which has also been canceled after 11 years of development plagued with internal reset. This third-person game of the team responsible for Banjo-Kazooie and Sea of ​​Thieves had disappeared from the radar after its presentation in 2019, and despite the fact that Phil Spencer himself highlighted him as the First Party of Xbox What’s most excited about everyonehe has not managed to survive the cuts. Zenimax Online Studios has also canceled Project Blackbirdan unnoticed MMO that had been developing since 2018 and intended to be the successor of The Elder Scrolls Online. In addition, Blizzard has announced that Warcraft Rumble, his mobile game released in 2023, will stop receiving content new and will limit regular events and error corrections. Affected studies and equipment. In addition to the definitive closure of The Initiative, other studies have suffered devastating cuts. Turn 10 StudiosForza Motorsport developer, has lost more than 70 employees, almost half of its template After the mixed criticisms received by his last game. King, head of Candy Crush, has eliminated 10% of its staff, about 200 people at their Stockholm headquarters. The teams of Call of Duty haven’t fought either: Sledgehammer Games, Raven Software and High Moon Studios have suffered cuts. Halo Studios and Undead Labs, creators of State of Decay, have also seen their templates. Even the Xbox user research team, key to guaranteeing the quality of games and tools, has lost almost half of its staff. As a consequence of the cancellations, Gregg Mayles, veteran director of Sea of ​​Thieves and Banjo-Kazooie with more than 35 years in Rare, has abandoned the company. Matt Firor, Zenimax Chief online Studios, has also announced his march after the cancellation of Project Blackbird. Between the lines. These cuts arrive after Microsoft spent $ 68.7 billion on Acquire Blizzard King Activision. The pressure to increase the profit margins is evident, especially when the company has eliminated more than 20,000 positions since it announced the acquisition. Matt Booty, Head of Xbox Game Studios, recognized in its internal statement that these decisions “reflect a broader effort to adjust priorities” in a “changing industrial panorama.” The magnitude of layoffs is, at least, striking: while Microsoft reports record benefits, it has eliminated more than 15,000 employees only in 2025. Sources close to the environment Engadget They suggest that the company is trying to “replace as many positions as possible with AI agents”, adding a worrying dimension to these cuts. The tension between surviving teams is palpable, especially in studies such as Halo Studios where the work environment has been significantly deterioratedaccording to the same sources. And now what. Microsoft maintains that it has More than 40 projects in development active and a “solid portfolio” by 2026. All games shown in the recent Xbox Showcase in June are “safe”, according to Fuentes del Medio Central Windowsincluding titles such as Clockwork Revolution and State of Decay 3. In addition, Phil Spencer will continue at the head of the division of Microsoft Gaming, denying rumors about its march. In addition, it should be noted that Xbox’s plans regarding next generation hardware also remain unchanged despite cuts.

Ryanair has seriously injured to Valladolid airport. And that’s why threatens new cancellations this winter

by

First they announced the exit. After there would be delays. Now they threaten more games. Ryanair has filed a pulse with the government following a historical fine and alleged Aena rates too high. And the most affected are the neighbors of the provincial capitals of our country. “They are not profitable routes”. And that is why Ryanair’s departure is logical and “it is possible to enter other regional airports in these changes.” These changes are cancellations of routes and the words are from Elena Cabrera, Country Manager of Ryanair in Spain, to questions from Spanish-Invertia. With them certifies the pressure policy that the company is doing in Spain, in response to a historical fine imposed by the Executive that has led to the company of some Spanish airports, seriously injuring its activity. What happened? Ryanair’s threat to leave more airports in Spain is not born from nothing. In November 2024, the Government certified a historical fine to various airlines Low Cost. The reason: they were charging for wearing a hand suitcase. The sanction for Ryanair It was more than 107 million euros. The fine imposed by the Ministry of Consumption is, in the eyes of Ryanair, illegal. They point out that they do let travel with a hand suitcase but that It should not exceed contained dimensions 40 x 20 x 25 cm. The battle on whether or not this is legal has arrived in Europe. Spain will have to give explanations in front of the EU Pilota mediating referee designed to resolve conflicts between the European Commission and the Member States. Essential. The origin of the conflict is in the word “essential.” That is the hand luggage that airlines are obliged to allow the passenger for free. Obviously, for the government there is no doubt: the reduced dimensions do not comply with the norm and the bulge cannot be qualified as “essential.” Ryanair believes the opposite. And the problem is that Not justice agrees. In Spain we have had sentences that contradict themselves. Cases in which passengers is right And Ryanair is forced to compensate them and cases in which he fails In favor of the company And the speech is bought that this backpack is enough to travel. AENA’s rates. Perhaps because abandoning Spain for the simple fine was too controversial or because, really, there is an economic reason in it, Ryanair assures that if he leaves Spain it is because of the high rates that the company charges for operating at its airports. These fees serve to pay the cleaning, safety or maintenance services of airports but for the Irish company They are too high. Aena defends himself by ensuring that There are multiple discounts that leave the operation at regional airports at a very low price. For the moment, Competition has forced Aena to freeze rates. 800,000 seats. Aware of its strength in some regional airports, Ryanair has abandoned Operations in Valladolid and Jerez de la Frontera this summer. And has reduced its presence in Vigo, Santiago, Zaragoza, Asturias and Santander. This has led to Valladolid for 60% of air traffic. In total, there are 12 routes that have been canceled or reduced their activity. According to Expansionin the balance for this summer, telling all the airlines, 92,000 seats have been lost to fly from Spain. Of the lost places, 75% are a consequence of Ryanair’s march of these airports. More tension. Now, Ryanair continues to stretch from the rope. Seen the impact they have claimed for months that regional airports They live “a terminal decline” For a long time. The lack of passengers is, they say, the main reason for their march. That they have not been covered by competitors “demonstrates that they are not profitable routes”, in the words of their country manager. However, we must bear in mind that the company has not been operating by volume in this type of route. As is happening With a flight from the Canary Islands to Morocco, It has been institutional advertising the one that has kept these lines alive. To the point that in some cases contracts have been broken that still remained active.
