FLIGHT PRICES TO RISE

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

PALMA DE MAJORCA

FLYING to the mainland or island hopping this winter is not expected to be a problem but domestic air fares are probably going to be more expensive.
The Balearic Minister for Transport, Gabriel Vicens, gave assurances yesterday that the local government is going to do everything possible to make sure that the airlines do not reduce their domestic flight operations and connections in the Balearics this winter but, he had to admit that he fears an increase in domestic air fares.

The Balearic airline industry is facing a cold winter with the Palma-based Futura International Airline in administration and Spanair, also based in Palma, reducing operations and axing jobs as part of a major cost cutting exercise. But, every winter the Balearic government has to fight to convince the airlines to maintain their domestic links and with the islands and it is going to be at the expense of Balearic air passengers for them to agree with the wishes of the Balearic government this year.

Air fares have already been gradually bumped up this year by rising fuel costs and increased airport taxes and Vicens admitted yesterday that, if there is another surge in fuel prices and the airlines decide to reduce air links to the Balearics, there will be little the government can do. “Regular flights are vital to the islands, they are a lifeline for residents and for the moment, the airlines are not planning any changes to their winter flight `programmes,” the Minister said yesterday.

Mallorca for the mega rich ?

Crisis ?? What Crisis?….


WHILE the average European is worried about the credit crunch, a worldwide increase in so called Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (those with assets of over 30 million euros) is fueling a new boom in luxury travel and Majorca could easily cash in on the growing and highly lucrative market.

For years the Balearics governments and ministers for tourism have been trying to target high spending tourists, well it appears that now is the time.
The use of private jets, super yachts and the holiday rental of multi-million euro luxury homes and chalets by the fun loving super rich is on the rise and Majorca ticks all the boxes for the UHNWI’s looking for a top of the market holiday.

Top destinations this summer included Provence, Cannes, Tuscany, Mykonos and the Balearics in Europe including Majorca.
Over the past few months, many of the world’s most expensive and largest private yachts popped up in the Balearics but, for a change, the yachts were not carrying top celebrities but the growing number of mega rich business people.

In fact, according to a recent report on the holiday habits of the global elite, the celebrities are renting their luxury homes or chartering their super yachts to the growing number of UHNWI’s.

This year, Palma’s private jet terminal has reported a marked increase in executive jet traffic and the ports of Ibiza, Palma and Mahon have all catered for the world’s largest yachts carrying wealthy business tycoons from all over the world including India, the Middle East and Russia.

Palma’s Club de Mar is the new home for the Emir of Qatar’s 436.35ft super yacht Al Mirqab which was only launched a few months ago and now dwarfs the yacht club.

With a number of unique luxury properties worth between 50 and 100 million euros on the market for sale and rent in the Balearics and all the services and facilities, such as excellent golf courses, and Michelin star restaurants, the UHNWI’s require, Majorca, which is just a few hours private jet flight from most West European cities would do well to cash in on the mega rich travel boom and expand the very top end of the tourism market.

These tend to be the most strongly English-speaking areas and offer a range if International English Schools, as well as a French and German school.
