British low-cost airline easyJet says that thirty percent of all flights in Spain are low cost and believe this figure is sure to rise. They have named Madrid as a base for domestic flights and a hub for southern Europe, putting pressure on Spain’s national carrier Iberia. EasyJet say they are already the second biggest international carrier to Spain behind Iberia, with 7.5 million passengers last year, and from mid-February 2007 they will operate domestic flights from Madrid's Barajas Airport. What does this mean for us? A wider choice of flights within Spain and hopefully lower prices all round as Iberia has to compete.
