‘No need to move to Barcelona’ says boss

Mallorcan airline Spanair is not going to move its head office to Barcelona as rumoured, reports the company’s spokesman Hector Sandoval. He admits that the move was considered but after a bad year for the airline, in which restructuring took place and a terrible plane crash occurred, any move has been rejected.

Currently 600 people are employed by Spanair at the company offices in Son Sant Joan airport, Palma. Currently Scandinavian carrier SAS owns Spanair, but recently announced that it would be selling its majority stake to a group of Spanish investors based in Barcelona.
