Air Europa

[Doctor Cruces]

Can anyone please tell me where AEA fly from and to the UK?
I know they do Norwich/Lanzarote on a Thursday and I know they are going to fly Doncaster to La Palma in peak this summer but that's all.

Any info, Flight numbers gratefully received.

Had a holiday and flew with them, very impressed and looking to go again. Much better than the cattle class with Thomas Cook.

Thanks

The last one is a bit unusual, as I can't remember a Spanish airline working a regular charter/inclusive tour from Bristol to Italy before. The 738 arrives Bristol from Palma mid morning, the aircraft then flies to/from Verona, before returning from Bristol to Palma around tea time.

Saw them in Gatwick Saturday lunchtime with a 767 a couple of weeks ago, it all depends what contracts they pick up, which vary from season to season.

Air Europa is the last remaining vestige of Harry Goodman's old Air Europe empire of the 1980s, which grew exponentially from a charter operator owned by the Intasun holiday company in Manchester to a major scheduled operator out of Gatwick with F100s, 737s, 757s, and MD-11s on order. They also opened up companies in Spain and Italy. The whole lot went out of business in 1991, BA picked up the best of the Gatwick routes, the Spanish operation was sold as Air Europa.

My wife and I were enjoying a short break in Majorca in March 1991 when the news came though that ILG and Air Europe had ceased to trade.

Fortunately for us, we had travelled with Britannia and Thomsons.

There were several ILG clients in our hotel who, naturally, were very concerned at the predicament they found themselves in. I believe that all ILG customers were eventually taken home by other airlines who stepped in.

Air Europe and Air Europa had near-identical liveries in those days, I seem to recall.

As a BRS aficionado, you may remember that Air Europe's charters from BRS were flown by AEA during the Winter of 1990/91 until ILG went bust.
I was on the last flight from BRS (to Arrecife), the day before they ceased trading - there seemed to be a number of Spanish passengers on board - with hindsight I realised they were Air Europa crew who may have caught wind of the parent company's impending demise and were heading home.
We didn't know of ILG's problems until a couple of days after we arrived... holiday went exactly as planned and we were repatriated on a Caledonian Tristar, albeit to LGW
