Futura was initially a 50-50 joint venture between Aer Lingus and Spanish investors for the Northern Europe - Spain holiday market. EI's share has since been diluted, by adding Spanish investment. Although on the face of it a Spanish operator they also have a Dublin crew base and dominate the IT market from Ireland to Spain. The Spanish banks provided the money and Aer Lingus the aviation knowledge (and WW). Futura's official name is Hispano Irlandesa Aviacion SA.
