Berlin - 11.03.2010 - From March 30th there will be a 30 per cent reduction on flights between the archipelago and the Spanish peninsula, and Rivero added that he was continuing to work to reduce the charges even further, calling this news “an important step”, but an incomplete one. The president also told journalists that Canarian airports had, for the first time in two years, experienced passenger increases in January and February, and that predictions for the summer were good, with a predicted rise of 17 per cent in tourist numbers, particularly from the UK.
