Air Europa resumes direct Madrid-Caracas flights starting September 1

Jornal Económico1 September 2026 at 13:27

The Spanish airline Air Europa resumed on Tuesday direct flights between Madrid and Caracas, with five weekly frequencies, after having interrupted regular operation for about two months due to earthquakes that affected the Venezuelan airport in June.

The company was forced to change its operation after the double earthquake registered in Venezuela on June 24, which damaged the facilities of Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía. During this period, Air Europa used Arturo Michelena International Airport in Valencia as an alternative to maintain connectivity with the country, being the Spanish airline that most quickly adapted its operation.

With the full reopening of Simón Bolívar, the special connection via Valencia was closed and flights were resumed on the direct route between Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport and Simón Bolívar International Airport. Flights are scheduled for Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Air Europa, member of the SkyTeam alliance with more than 60 aircraft and based at Madrid-Barajas hub, operates the Caracas route to more than 60 destinations, highlighting its commitment to sustainability and punctuality.

Gulf economies continue under pressure six months after war with Iran, says DBRS

The economies of Gulf countries continue to suffer uneven impacts six months after the start of the war with Iran, with Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain among the most affected, according to an analysis by DBRS Morningstar. The conflict and restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz have penalised the GCC economies differently, at a time when uncertainty remains high following the end of the ceasefire between the US and Iran. While the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman have resisted better due to their lower dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, the most affected countries are expected to record sharp slowdowns or declines in real GDP in 2026. Increased oil production, public spending and support measures have helped cushion the impact, but exports remain below pre-conflict levels. DBRS considers the risks to the economic outlook to remain high, warning of the possibility of conflict escalation and the potential closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Fake goods, real danger: the €83 billion business behind illicit trade in Europe

A European investigation reveals that the trade in counterfeit goods in Europe moves around €83 billion annually, fueled by organized crime networks that infiltrate legal markets. Investigators warn that many consumers, when acquiring these products without knowing their fraudulent origin, are involuntarily financing criminal activities, including human trafficking and mafia organizations. European police have intensified operations to combat this clandestine industry, but the complexity of distribution chains makes the fight particularly challenging.
