Hi to you all,
after some months of trouble in Spanish aviation, I am very interested about the current status of some of these carriers.
LTE.es
according to their web-page: "we have had to suspend our scheduled operations (charter business and aircraft leasing is continuing)."
Which a/c are still active?! Still flying for NAS Air and Nouvelair?!
BRAVO AIRLINES
their sole B767 is stored in MIA since 01Nov.?! Anyone can confirm? So, gone?!
FUTURA
no re-start of operations, totally out of business.
PRONAIR, AEROFAN
what about these smaller operators, still active flying?

LTE, Pronair and Aerofan are still operating. I believe the Novuelair contract has ended at LTE, EC-JIB, EC-JRX and EC-JTA are operating charter and ACMI services right now from what I understand and LTE hopes to resume scheduled services as soon as it got new investment it keeps talking about. The Spanish authorities have told them to stop scheduled services until then.

Trouble since Spanair.....? Or trouble due to recession?? Two very different subjects. First one, in my opinion, was an awful disaster which over (short) time, has had no impact on general aviation but has had an enormous impact on Spanair -losses multiplied by 7 in Q3.
The second is adjusting business reality in every industry sector. In Spain, far too many airlines have been put into operation; some by financial sharks just looking at the opportunity to make fast money via future merges or acquisitions; others by regional governments with local businessmen trying to build an asset by connecting smaller inland cities to the main hubs. Most have already failed: Lagunair, Air Asturias, FlySur (about to even before taking-off), ... There is simply no space/demand to justify their existence.
The greatest news recently has been with Vueling. They have not only reached break-even (finally) but gone into profits! This is good news!

LTE A320 EC-JTA has recently been operating for Iberworld.
Not seen the other two for a while and not seen any LTE
charter flights operating. Hope they can get sorted but we will see.
Whats the status of the EC- B717's, both Spanair ones and the Aebal
ones???
