Andalus Líneas Aéreas will specialise in direct flights from Málaga to the Caribbean.

Managers from the bankrupt budget airline Air Madrid say they are to create a new airline which will be based in Málaga.

The company says that it will employ a total of 97 people and intends to specialise in direct flights from the Costa del Sol to destinations in the Caribbean.

The new company will be presented to the public at the Torremolinos Congress Palace on Friday May 30, and will go under the name Andalus Líneas Aéreas.

Fernando Guerrero will head the company. He has long experience in the aviation sector and says that Air Madrid, which he managed, only failed as it was taken over by a company which knew nothing about the industry.

It's not me, it is the others... !

Air Madrid failed quite simply because it wasn't operating according to the rules (the Spanish CAA threatened to withdraw the AOC), and generally because it was poorly managed... by the managers, not by the shareholder !!

It is surprising that one of the first responsibles is now authorised to do it again, and that he dares speak about it in the media !!
