Ryanair considers recovering its air bases in the Canary Islands, according to the Government

The airline Ryanair is interested in recovering its bases in the Canary Islands given the good evolution of tourism in the islands, as confirmed this Thursday by the Deputy Minister of the Presidency of the autonomous community, Antonio Olivera.

In the press conference, after the meeting of the Governing Council, Olivera highlighted the recovery of the tourism sector in the islands, which during Easter week has achieved record numbers, as well as that the airlines have increased the number of seats in the archipelago above those of 2019, the year before the pandemic.

According to Olivera, Raynair has seen the opportunity offered by the islands for air transport, while citing the commitment of this airline to La Palma.

The Deputy Minister stressed that the good performance of tourism is a "clear symptom" of the economic recovery process in the islands, as also reflected in the report on economic prospects for the Canary Islands released by the BBVA.
