ATC Spain ("direct to")
Dear guys, it is clear that since more or les 10 days the Spain ATC ,specially in MAD and BCN area, has been instructed by somebody (Eurocontrol, politicians maybe?) to do not give any off route "direct to" to the aircrafts flying in their area.
Any spanish controllers here can give us a reason for that? With out any polemics off course, just to informed about the facts since this is a practice that result in a loss of fuel and time for the airlines and in an increase of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.
Thanks in advance if somebody informed will answer..
