Even after the announcement by Air Europa that it was to stop flying to Salvador (its only Brazilian destination left, caution: Air Europa announces it will no longer fly to Brazil), the authorities of the states of Bahía, Pernambuco and Ceará are dreaming of new flights operated by the airline. They want Air Europa to fly four times a week from Madrid to Salvador with a stop in Recife and twice a week with a stop in Fortaleza. To achieve that end the governments want to use public money to promote the flights. Now Air Europa needs to be guaranteed a minimum amount of money.

The hard thing will be to reach an agreement with a company that is constantly changing its mind.

The state of Bahia is celebrating the code share flights Iberia will have with Iberworld, once a week, starting on 3 February.

The Northeast, that has much more to offer than sex tourism, it needs to get their act together to give a proper welcome to international tourists, offering security, adequate tourist information and a range of prices that make those flights feasible. For the European tourist today, it is much more convenient to fly to Asia than to Brazil.

It is worth remembering that the occupation of the Salvador/Recife/Miami fllight is below its expectations, although in this case American Airlines is partly to blame, its flight is making the headlines day after day, with constant cancellations and problems with luggage.
