Uep! Fly has already landed in es Codolar. From today this new airline operates six daily flights between Mallorca and Ibiza (three outbound and three return), as well as another four between Mallorca and Menorca. With its base of operations in Ibiza, Uep! Fly offers competitive prices and intends to establish itself in the archipelago in order to expand outside the islands and Spain in the future.

This regional subsidiary of Swiftair was presented yesterday in the technical block of the airport by Javier Taibo, executive vice-president of the company; Marta Torres, airport director; Vicent Marรญ, president of the Consell, and Josep Marรญ Ribas, Balearic councillor for Mobility, who highlighted the importance of the new airline: “It helps stitch together the island society and contributes to the necessary economic activity between the islands”. The fact is that, as the councillor pointed out, this addition increases the number of weekly connections from Ibiza to Mallorca by 28%, which now totals 96. “If flights are increasing and there is a commitment to these islands, it must be because we are not doing badly, as we are capable of generating confidence among the airlines,” added Marรญ in front of one of the two planes that were already parked on the runway yesterday.
