Barcelona (ACN).- The company Pyrenair will operate out of the Lleida-Alguaire airport starting in January, with flights to Vigo, Madrid and Lisbon, and connections from Madrid to the Canary Islands and Tenerife. With its new routes, the company is calculating that between January and April some 10,000 passengers will stop in the Catalan airport. These three new destinations will serve to “implant” the product of the Aragonese company who “is still not very well known in all of the winter tourist circuits”, said Pyrenair in a press release. With their newly offered flights the company hopes to establish “expansion bases” to convert itself into a “global force for the winter tourism industry in the Pyrenees”.


In addition to its new destinations from the Lleida-Alguaire airport, the company will also operate from the Osca-Pirineus airport, where it will have connections with La Coruña, Madrid and Palma de Mallorca.

With flight times from 30 to 75 minutes, there is no competition with other methods of transportation. The company is following the same travel model that it has already applied in the Osca airport. With its new destinations the company hopes to make itself known to a wider public. For example, Pyrenair offers flights to Madrid for 98 euros where a high-speed train would cost 126 euros. Also, there are no added charges for luggage or ski equipment.

Between the Lleida-Alguaire routes and the 16,000 passengers that will travel with Pyrenair using the Aragonese airport, the company plans to double its number of flights next season. Flight reservations for the new season can be made starting from October.
