At a time when the war in the Middle East has turned the energy market upside down, the employers of Spanish airlines, ALA , wanted to send a message of optimism. Fuel supply is guaranteed for the whole of next summer and flights are not expected to be cancelled.

The president of the ALA employers, Javier Gandara, who appeared today to report on the forecasts for the summer, said that behind the adjustments made by the company in recent days is the "market situation" and not the lack of supplies.

In his words, the situation in Spain is' considerably better 'than in other countries around it, because 11.4% of the fuel it needs is' only 'imported from the Middle East, so its dependence is not so great. 

According to the data provided, 80-85% of the fuel consumed by Spanish airport companies is produced "in Spain itself". As a preventive measure, it has also advanced that the sector is implementing "contingency plans".
