The closure of Spanair has resulted in ticket prices soaring for those who want to travel between the Baleares and the mainland. Prices as high as 700 € have been see for a flight from Menorca to Madrid. For that price you could fly to Chicago. Most affected island is Menorca, given that from tomorrow it will have no direct flight to Madrid. A flight via Mallorca can cost as much as 1,000 € although residents on the islands would pay half that amount with their usual discount. The Baleares administration has already called on the Ministry for Development to take steps against the exorbitant tariffs, and an independent study has already described the prices as ‘abusive’. The Govern announced that the new low-cost airline, Iberia Express, which launches in March, will offer flights between Madrid and Mallorca, and between March and October between Menorca and Ibiza. Orbest Airlines will cover the route between Madrid and Mahón from Feb 13 until the end of April.
