As it continues its transition to an all-Boeing long-haul fleet, Air Europa placed an order for 14 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, the largest ever Boeing wide-body order from a Spanish carrier. The carrier now has a combined total of 22 787-8s and 787-9s on order.
“Since its beginning, Air Europa has always operated the most contemporary airplanes available to the market. With the steps we are taking, we will become an airline with the most modern fleet in the world. We have always looked for the best quality and comfort for our passengers and the Boeing 787 meets our needs because it is faster, quieter and more comfortable as well as being more efficient and more respectful to the environment,” said Juan José Hidalgo, president of Globalia, the parent company of Air Europa, at a press conference in Madrid.
Air Europa’s first Dreamliners are scheduled to arrive in 2016, allowing the carrier to grow both its number of flights and destinations by approximately 50 percent.
Based at Palma de Mallorca Airport with a key hub at Adolfo Suarez-Madrid Barajas Airport, Air Europe currently serves more than 40 destinations across Europe and the Americas.

There’s a lot happening on the beautiful island of Maui and recovery from the devastating fires in Lahaina is underway. Among happy events is a gorgeous cultural redesign of all the suites and villas at Fairmont Kea Lani, plus the opening of the resort’s Hale Kukuna — a 2,000-square-foot cultural center that focuses on sharing Hawai’ian culture, traditions and history, with the goal of a reciprocal sharing of ‘ike (knowledge) and mo’olelo (stories) that link the island’s storied past and vibrant present.

May 6, 2024Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History
All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
