Ryanair seemed to have condemned Santiago airport with its departure. Solution: flights to New York

by

The year 2025 was marked by the withdrawal of Ryanair aircraft from Spanish regional airports. The company, complaining about the supposedly excessive rates charged by Aena, eliminated routes and reduced frequencies. The result has been a huge decline at some of these airports. One of them is Santiago de Compostela. But the Galicians are already looking beyond the Atlantic. The withdrawal. A few months ago we said that Galicia is the Autonomous Community that has lost the most passengers since Ryanair reduced frequencies and canceled routes at Spanish regional airports. During the first quarter of the year, only the A Coruña airport grew within the region. Activity in Vigo fell slightly, with 3.4% fewer passengers. But it was the march from Santiago de Compostela that did the most damage. Compared to two years ago, the company’s activity is 80% lower and passenger volume has plummeted. In the first quarter, Aena data They say traffic was down by almost 25%. It is an important figure but it is serious because last year it already fell another 14% in that same period. And the decline has been consolidated in the first half of the year, sinking its activity by 40%, they report in Preferential. a nuance. It must be taken into account that in the first half of the year, Aena has been carrying out improvement work on the asphalt of the runways at the Santiago de Compostela airport, so activity has been stopped for just over a month on alternate days from January to May. An unexpected solution. The curious thing is that the drop in traffic has eased in recent months. The connections that Ryanair used at this airport maintained routes between Seville and Valencia with Galicia. A solution that, despite the improvement in rail trafficit’s still much faster. But they explain in The Spanish that from Santiago de Compostela they hope to alleviate part of the fall with two new connections. One of them to Amsterdam, the other to New York/Newark airport. And it is that United Airlines already operates a line with three weekly frequencies to connect the two sides of the Atlantic. Beyond Spain. Since Ryanair turned its back on the airport, the number of international destinations has been growing. The first city with a direct connection to join this new stage was Marrakech, they explain in The Galician Post. The offer is expanded with Amsterdam or Cork, in Ireland. All of these routes are operated on alternate days but enhance the international image of the airport for routes that, previously, had to go to other autonomous communities. Covering gaps. Another piece of good news for Santiago de Compostela is the connection with Jerez thanks to Vueling. At least during the summer, activity has been increasing in both national destinations (Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Barcelona or Bilbao) and international destinations (London, Paris or Dublin). Those gaps that Ryanair has been leaving are being absorbed, at least partially with an increase in frequencies, by rival companies. And the Irish company has lost ground to Vueling and Wizz Air in recent times. Although they maintain almost record numbers, its market share has sufferedagainst these latter companies.

Pedrerol leaves Atresmedia for Mediaset after 13 years, and his departure is the perfect reflection of the current war between private companies

by

We have seen this before: Josep Pedrerol shows up at the door of a chain at just the worst moment for the one hosting him to lose him. Well it’s happened again. Only this time the chain where it lands is already waging an open judicial war with which it is saying goodbye. The hostilities embodied in lawsuits and (future) trials between Atresmedia and Mediaset find in Pedrerol’s escape almost a symbol of the tensions that plague Spanish television. What has happened? Atresmedia and Josep Pedrerol They announced last Tuesday that end their professional relationship. There is talk of mutual agreement and a very specific expiration date: the Catalan presenter’s contract expires on July 19, and ‘El Chiringuito’ says goodbye a day later with a special dedicated to the final of the 2026 World Cup. Pedrerol summarized the balance by saying that “they have been thirteen fantastic years in which we have worked with absolute freedom.” On behalf of the chain, the general director of Atresmedia Audiovisual, José Antonio Antón, thanked in a statement the professionalism of the team and the achievements achieved. The outing is not limited to the evening program. Also closing is ‘Jugones’, the desktop news program that Pedrerol has presented on laSexta since 2013 and which, according to the statement itself, has remained a “reference for sports news at that time.” This is how Pedrerol says goodbye. The story has an almost identical precedent. Pedrerol directed ‘Punto Pelota’ on Intereconomía when the chain, in the midst of a default crisis, He terminated his contract on December 4, 2013.. By then he had already presented “Jugones” on laSexta, since September of that same year, which allowed him to land on Atresmedia shortly after: the heir to “Punto Pelota” debuted as “El Chiringuito de Jugones” on January 6, 2014 on the now defunct channel Nitro, before going through laSexta and Neox and settling on Mega since 2015. This time there are no defaults or termination, but a contract that has not been renewed after months of stalled talks. The piggyback format. For a presenter to change channels is normal on Spanish television, but it is not so normal for him to carry an entire format on his back, with equipment and production company included. The precedent most cited is that of Pablo Motos, who moved ‘El Hormiguero’ from Cuatro to Antena 3 in 2011 maintaining program and collaborators. Pedrerol starts from a similar position: ‘El Chiringuito’ is produced by Radio Sport Plus, its own production company, and according to Digital Journalist Citing sources in the sector, Mediaset is also negotiating to incorporate a good part of its usual team to transfer the format almost entirely, although under a different name. Mediaset is in a hurry. Telecinco closed the 2025-2026 season with an 8.9% average share, its worst historical record and the fifth consecutive season with a decline, while Atresmedia led the group with a 25.6% share. sharethe greatest advantage it has ever taken from Mediaset. Coinciding with the World Cup semi-finals on La 1, Telecinco signed the worst day in 36 years of history. A format with a low production cost and an already formed community of followers fits with what Mediaset needs before La Liga starts on August 15. It is still ironic, of course, that the same sport that is giving Telecinco so many headaches could serve as a rescue raft in the near future. War on. Mediaset and Atresmedia have been in litigation for years over ‘Pasapalabra’ and its final test, the Rosco: the Supreme Court forced Antena 3 to withdraw the Rosco in May, Atresmedia replaced it with a new test called AlaZ on June 19 (which has continued to triumph in hearings), and the Dutch production company MC&F and Mediaset They have announced that they will sue her considering that the new test is too similar to the original. Taking away one of its most profitable sports brands from Atresmedia would have something symbolic. No confirmation at the moment. Neither of the two networks has confirmed the signing, and there are still many pending details: whether the new program will land on Telecinco or Cuatro, with how many historical collaborators it will do so and what it will be called (a possible clue: on April 13, Radio Sport Plus record before the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office the name “Chiringuito Gol TV”). Again, August 15 and the start of La Liga can be a key date so that, around it, we know more things. In Xataka | Netflix users love to watch the first season of a series.

AVLO’s departure from Madrid-Barcelona seemed like another problem for Renfe. He has left us an unexpected winner

by

August 2025. The summer had started out average for Renfe and ended even worse. After an exchange of information, Renfe accepted that some Talgo AVRIL trains had suffered cracks in their structures and that they were being taken out of circulation, with the consequent suspension of service. And, of course, that has had consequences for travelers. Goodbye AVLO, goodbye. Everything ended up precipitating in the last days of August but the origin must be sought a few days before. At the end of July, Renfe paralyzed by surprise the sale of tickets for the AVLO service. The news was given from The Economist: AVLO trains had suffered cracks in their cars on the Madrid-Barcelona line. A few days later, Renfe confirmed this fact and began to apply a temporary solution. The idea is that the trains would continue running but reducing traffic speed there where it was believed that the trains had cracked. Some leaked photos Already in August they demonstrated the seriousness of the events. Renfe decided withdraw AVRIL trains of the service. And days later he ended up suspending the AVLOs. September. It was a strange month for Renfe. The company maintained the AVLO service in the early stages, but in the absence of finding a solution, it ended up canceling. relocate passengers of the service low cost of the company on the AVE. That is, a kind of upgrade to travelers who already had their ticket for beyond September 8. That put the company in trouble. Or at least that was the first reading. Since then Renfe does not compete directly against Ouigo and Iryo. Without a cheaper service, the Spanish company was left without the possibility of competing directly against foreign companies. However, it does not appear to have directly affected their results. How has it affected Renfe? If we take into account the latest data from the CNMCwhich refer to the months of July, August and September, we could say nothing or very little. Renfe Viajeros (which adds data from AVLO and AVE) has increased its occupancy by 4%, the number of travelers has increased by 0.6% and they have increased the use of rolling stock by 1.6%. Regarding prices, Renfe has also won. And the company has managed to increase the number of travelers despite an obvious increase in ticket prices. The AVE cost 70.58 euros on average, 13.3% more than in the same period last year and AVLO went to 51.35 euros, repeating the same growth. Retail. But what interests us most about this period is how prices behaved when AVLO was not available. In the month of September, AVLO prices dropped but let’s remember that they were only available for very few days. Instead, Renfe only offered AVE tickets. And they were shot. In September, service prices premium increased to 75.11 euros. It is 11.4% more than the previous month. But above all, it is a price 17.4% higher than that of the same month in 2024 when there were four companies available on the market. Beyond Renfe. Curiously, the one who performed the most in this case has not been Renfe. Iryo is the company that has increased prices the most in this period. With an average ticket price of 63.82 euros, the company seemed to have positioned itself between Ouigo and Renfe, offering an alternative halfway between both services. However, the absence of AVLO in the month of September must have triggered the demand for Ouigo and Iryo. This is the only way to explain why the Italian company raised the prices of its routes to 74.13 euros in that month, just one euro less than the AVE. Year-on-year growth that month reached 83.5%. For its part, Ouigo also raised prices but remained on a somewhat more contained line. In the quarter, the average ticket price was 51.86 euros, which already represents a growth of 20% compared to the previous year. In September, however, prices remained at 52.20 euros, slightly below the month of August but, yes, 30% more expensive than in September 2024. The complete photograph. Expanding on everything that happened, as expected, AVLO’s departure from the Madrid-Barcelona corridor has only increased prices. It is something that we were already beginning to suspect and that was logical if we take into account that it is the corridor with the highest occupation and use of the line. In fact, the latter exceeds 84% ​​and remains around 10% above any other high-speed corridor with liberalized services. It is the perfect environment for passengers dynamic prices suffer.

There is only a great beneficiary at Ryanair’s departure from regional airports. One called “High Speed ​​Train”

by

Ryanair threatened and fulfilled. As he turned a few months ago. The company confirmed yesterday, September 3, which removes more than one million places from regional airports. In total, its activity will be reduced by 41 % in this type of aerodromes and 10 % of its activity in the Canary Islands will also be affected. The movement has unleashed an wave of indignation among Spanish institutions that qualify the exit as blackmail or extortion. The company, meanwhile, defends itself by ensuring that the increase in Aena’s rates are incompatible with its operations in this type of airports. But what the movement leaves us is the confirmation that regional airports are less and less competitive. A good part of them have based their operations on a huge dependence on the company. And the Good train health It is making operating in them, more and more complicated. A good example is that the company will increase its operations in larger airports. The controversy As we explained yesterday, with its latest Ryanair movement it will reduce 400,000 places in the Canary Islands in winter, being the autonomous community most punished by volume. In total, 36 connections are canceled. It remains to be seen if the flights to the Canary Islands are held by other companies. A good example is the Binter expansion that in recent times it has begun to increase its routes in the connections between peninsular Spain and the islands. In addition, Ryanair has announced the closure of Santiago de Compostela and the suspension of all flights to Vigo as of January 1, 2026. It maintains the closure at the airports of Valladolid and Jerez de la Frontera. And will reduce its operations in Zaragoza (-45 %), Santander (-38 %), Asturias (-16 %) and Vitoria (-2 %). The company attacks Aena and the Government, to whom it accuses of “failing to the Spanish regions, whose airports are almost 70 % empty.” For its part, the airport manager attacks that “the communication and institutional relations policy of Ryanair is guided by Phariseism, bad education and blackmail”, while trying to “falsify reality.” All these words pick them up eldiario.es from the mouth of Maurici Lucena, president and CEO of Aena. The excuse Ryanair has used to abandon or reduce its operations at these airports is at the rise of Aena rates. Those rates are the ones guarantee basic services of airports such as cleaning or safety, to put only some examples. At the moment, there are substantial discounts than in airports with the lowest volume of passengers make them insignificant. On the contrary, where it is paid the most is in the airports of greater volume. That rate has been frozen in recent years but will rise if the CNMC approves it. From the beginning, the company’s opposition has been found. They defend that in countries such as Italy, Morocco or Croatia have been lowered to attract tourism and that, with these increases, “Spain is closing” to the same. A statement that The data denies. According to Aena, The increase is just 68 euro cents By passenger but they put the company that their rates have increased by 21% in the last year. But this is just the surface. Spain is not the only country in which Ryanair has reduced operations. The Irish have also retired more than 700,000 places from the French regional airports. And it is also not accidental that their operations to Morocco travel almost empty. For a long time, the company has exploited institutional advertising to maintain open paths that would not be profitable without these substantial pluses. In fact, that Ryanair trip to Daklha is only explained since The interest that Morocco has in exploiting that areanear the Sahara, as a holiday destination. Ryanair as a symptom And the train as a disease that hurts regional airports. To all of the above we must add the loss in competitiveness of many of the airports of which Ryanair leaves. The company has closed operations in Santiago and reduces its connections in Vigo. Casually there are two cities to which The arrival of high speed is especially affecting. Until not so long ago, the only way to travel quickly between Madrid and Galicia was by plane. Now, the High speed It allows you to reach the center of the capital more or less the same time as you travel by plane. And without the discomforts of this means of transport. In Asturiashigh speed is not yet working in full performance but the opening of new sections (and others on the horizon)place the region in a position where the train, again, will compete with the plane for faster connections. It will remain faster to travel by plane but its connection with Madrid is already competitive by train. What to say about Zaragoza where in recent years Renfe has joined Ouigo and Iroyo. The corridor maintains a hard competition And although the tickets are not the cheapest on the market, the volume of trains is very high and the latest connections already allow Zaragoza to be linked with Galicia in four hours (making transford in Madrid). In addition, the possibilities to get to Seville or Malaga are multiple with the aforementioned Renfe rivals. Eliminate air connections with the main Spanish cities should result in greater use of this means of transport. And from Aena they are clear that reality is “more prosaic.” “Ryanair moves her planes to airports where can set higher prices In their plane tickets and earn more money, such as Great Spanish airports“, despite being” substantially higher, “they insisted on words collected by RTVE. In Santander, where connections with Madrid are not so advanced, four international destinations have been withdrawn (Rome, Milan, Vienna and Paris) but the flights to Valencia and Malaga are maintained. In Santiago, however, connections with other Spanish cities die. And in Vigo he retires from the line he had with London.

First it was Chema Alonso’s departure. Telefónica is now disassembling your legacy with your team’s goodbye

by

After The Pallete eraTelefónica is making profound strategic and human changes. After the recent one Departure from hacker Chema Alonsothe company is disassembling kernel, according to The confidential. This is the project and the team led Alonso, where there were heavyweights of the company, such as Javier Martínez and Paco Montalvo. Company sources have confirmed to Xataka Mobile the departure of both figures. Why it is important. From the hand of Sebas Muriel, ancient CEO of Tuenti, Telefónica is saying goodbye to Kernel, which in 2016 we met as “The fourth platform“And later like Aura. With her, they proposed to create a mechanism where Each user decided if he shared his personal information or demanded compensation. The confidential also speaks of the exits of other key pieces, such as Luiz Medici and Kiko Gámez. Goodbye to Pallete and Chema Alonso’s legacy. The hacker departure in March reminded us of the ambitious path that the company had pursued in the last decade: projects such as the aforementioned fourth platform, The aura wizard, Open Gateway either Movistar Homethe domestic device that came something late to a market that Google and Alexa already dominated globally. Kernel was the project to modernize an archaic operator, the Digital heart of Telefónica, according to Paco Montalvo. Disassembling this team is a farewell to the great technological bets that the company has pursued to compete against the OTT and the great world technological ones. At the time of the indiscriminate management of the data, Telefónica claimed to want to return all control to the user. Something is left. The great responsible for that path are no longer, and the contrast with its substitutes It can’t be bigger. According to El Confidencial, the old team of Chema Alonso remains Antonio Guzmán, Irene Gómez, David del Val and Yaiza Rubio. According to Telefónica sources consulted by Xataka Mobile, Telefónica is reviewing the previous projects to approach the new vision. Despite the obvious dismantling of their pieces, they say that with Kernel there is no definitive decision, waiting for a new strategy that they hope to announce before the end of the year. A new telephone. In his first major public appearance as executive president, Marc Murtra, the substitute for José María Álvarez-Pallete, It was very clear: Telefónica should focus on consolidating and growing to create technological capacity, a more pragmatic and forceful objective than that of digital transformation and collaboration With great technology which had been adopted in the previous stage. Telefónica is facing The largest existential dilemma of its over 100 yearsyou have to choose transform into a technology company In a Europe in decline that seeks to be more autonomous or accept that as a traditional telecus it is immersed in a reality that erodes its margins. The financial sanitation that Pallete achieved was not enough for markets, with a 57%stock market drop. Good news and farewells in 2025. The helm turn brought Good news: The action at three years. And the first steps of the new direction reflect that initial forcefulness of Murtra: in 2025, Telefónica has executed five sales In different countries, and only Brazil remains a strategic market in America. In Spain, a great consolidation for 2026 sounds more and more strongly: the one that would bring a Purchase of Vodafone. The fruit of this fusion is well known: to get more than 45% of the market. Strategically, Telefónica is about to A ‘sorpasso’ itselfone that goes to enter more for services than by communications, the first step to be a diversified technological company and less telecus. At the moment, the services are 43 % of income in their accounts, and grows at a good pace: “in double digit,” according to Emilio Gayo, New CEO of the Teleco. Another good news comes with the rearme: Telefónica already It stays with 69% of defense ICT awards. Outstanding image | Xataka In Xataka | Telefónica has a plan to eat the market in Spain.

At his departure from Valladolid, Ryanair has left an unexpected death injured: airport coffee

by

Ryanair’s impact is not only counted by the number of flights he leaves in an airport. Not at least where they are a key piece in the operation of a regional square such as Valladolid, where Its march has reduced by 60% The number of travelers who pass through their facilities. Last January, the company announced that this summer would close operations at the Valladolid airport. The decision entered into the Pressure measures that the company is applying against the government for discrepancies related to the collection of hand suitcases or rates that Aena Cobra for operating in the facilities. This pressure tool translated into a reduction in operations in seven airports. In Vigo, for example, Ryanair has eliminated their seats by 61% available. But the highest figure is not always the one that does the most damage because you have to pay attention to the specific impact that the company has on the airport. And in Valladolid it was huge. So much that the volume of travelers at the city airport has been reduced by 63.2% According to data offered by AENA. But the company’s march not only has a direct impact on the offer of flights that are now available the Valladolid. It impacts the workers of the airport itself. Like those of its cafeteria. Three workers dismissed due to lack of work The story brings it first hand The North of Castile. The local media has interviewed César Carreras, a cafeteria dealer of the Valladolid airport who says that with the march of Ryanair, 80% of the clientele has vanished. In less than a year, Carreras has seen how the airport was emptied without Ryanair’s operations (which stopped operating on March 28) but with The previous flying of Vuelingwhich stopped offering the Valladolid-Barcelona route in June last year. Right now, Binter is the only company that operates the airport but has no daily trips. “This month They only work two days a week“, says the head of the cafeteria. Specifies that travelers have left but that there is also an employee hole, since only four workers of all employees that the company maintained in Valladolid remains in the facilities although performing other work. He explains that only the days that there are flights and just for three hours are exploding to cafeteria because the rest of the day the airport remains practically empty. He explains that now he only works the cafeteria and that he has had to fire three employees. At the moment, it remains in the concession because it would have “problems” to leave it and because it can give the service itself since it has another open business. When Ryanair announced that Valladolid left and Jerez and what reduced its operations I already talked about the decision would leave “Half -empty regional airports” although he blamed the march and reduction of operations to the alleged high rates of Aena. Those Aena rates They are the ones used to maintain the minimum services of an airport (security, cleaning …) and from the company ensure that they are extremely low in regional airports because there are multiple discounts to make them attractive. At the moment, they say, they are operating just two euros per passenger. What has long resonates is the fine that the Ministry of Consumption imposed on Ryanair for the collection of the hand luggage suitcase. For the Government, the allowed dimensions are extremely reduced and do not cover the definition of “essential” to which it obliges European regulations. Consequently imposed a sanction of more than 100 million euros. That fine was the one that precipitated everything, since Ryanair understands that without a more concrete definition he has no reason to let in the cabin that They exceed 40x20x25 cm measures collected in its most basic rate. Therefore, they assure that the collection for the cabin trolley It is perfectly legal. Something that seems, It will be ratified in a few months by the European Union itself.

“They defamed me in the media”: Martín Anselmi breaks the silence and details his departure from Cruz Azul

After a controversy that lasted several days, Martin Anselmi was finally announced as the new coach of the Porto. It was through social media that the club reported on the hiring of the Argentine coach. In his presentation speech this Monday from the Do Dragao Stadium, Anselmi He broke his silence on the entire controversy and directly attacked his former team.

I made a decision which I considered the best for me and my professional growth. I assume it and take charge, I was the one who took it, but I did it head-on with total transparency towards the club and its leaders without any hesitation,” he began. “They made me a promise that they would let me out.

Cruz Azul lost its compass with the departure of Anselmi and added its third game without winning

by

It seems that at Blue Cross They took their joy away with the departure of Argentine coach Martín Anselmi, who left the cement producers right away to go and coach FC Porto in Portugal, because this Saturday on matchday 3 they tied 1-1 with the Puebla in their third game without knowing victory. A result that shows that blue turned into gray without the driver who in the last two tournaments led them to achieve glory in the MX League with a runner-up finish and a semifinal in the Clausura and Apertura 2024 tournaments, but without achieving the maximum achievement. Because it could be said that people leave and institutions staybut with what the light blue team showed today with the Uruguayan Vicente Sánchez on the bench replacing Anselmi, it opened a range of questions that make us fear the worst for Cruz Azul with a large roster of players, but that gives the impression that They ripped out the soul with the departure of their coach. This allowed Puebla without much brilliance to get a very productive draw by simply putting the dagger between their teeth to dispute each ball with the celestials as if it were the last thing they had left of breath, but in the end with the goal from Uruguayan Emiliano Gómez they got a point from a very complicated field. Breathless and eager Without exaggeration and keeping the proportions, the way Cruz Azul assumed the match against Puebla It gave the impression that they did not want to be on the field of the University Olympic stadium, which to make matters worse left in the air the idea that it is a stage that does not suit the celestials and that their fans feel uncomfortable in that setting. Thus, Cruz Azul, although it took the lead on the scoreboard one minute into the game with the goal of Argentine Lorenzo Faravelli, was never able to maintain a rhythm that could guarantee a favorable result, especially because After his annotation he allowed Puebla to take over the shares and even put them in Puebla. The problem did not lie in what Argentine Pablo Guede’s team did, but rather what Cruz Azul failed to do, which with Vicente Sánchez on the bench wanted to invent a line of four where the players never felt comfortable. and they were the worst 44 minutes since a year ago for the Celeste Machine in the first half. Because Rotondi was put in the midfield and not on the wing where he is very dangerous, while Jorge Sánchez, Gonzalo Piovi, Willer Ditta and Omar Campos never settled in at the back, while in midfield with Lorenzo Faravelli, Carlos Rodríguez, Ignacio Rivero and Carlos Rotondi, they did not fit in either. The lack of rhythm meant that Gabriel “Toro” Fernández and Ángel Sepúlveda were decoration pieces and never generated danger up front. facilitating the work of the people of Puebla who in the first half were masters and lords of the actions. It was not enough for the Machine In the second half, the new coach made moves with Luka Romero and Erik Lira in the attack by Ángel Sepúlveda and Omar Campos, returning to his line of three, where Rotondi returned to the left sector to combine with the debutant Luka Romero, causing the first 15 minutes of the complementary part to give the impression of being the old Cruz Azul. But then Puebla closed the roads and made the Machine seem inoperative to open a trail of doubts about the true capacity of Cruz Azul and if these 70 million that they have spent on reinforcements will be the key to fighting for the title. For now it seems that the hangover after the emotional blow of Anselmi’s abandonment is weighing more than necessary and facing the duel with Necaxa The worst is predicted on date 4 where they have to visit the house of the hydrocalides, Continue reading:– Cruz Azul announces the official signing of the Polish Mateusz Bogusz– Cruz Azul sues Martín Anselmi and could ruin his arrival at Porto– They assure that the Cruz Azul board investigates Iván Alonso for the departure of Anselmi
