The concentration will be on March 15 in the paseo de Vara de Rey
The lack of adequate air communications between the islands and with
the mainland has been a common complaint for years on the Pitiüses.
But the last cut in frequencies a few months ago caused the creation of
the Mesa pel Transport Aeri de les Pitiüses, an organisation that
groups all the political parties, businesses, unions, neighbours associations
and social groups of Eivissa and Formentera.
After months of negatives from the central Government in connection
to the declaration as general interest of the flights between islands and
with the mainland, so that a minimum of frequencies could be established
for transport, a demo has been called "For adequate airline connections"
that will take place next March 15, at 7 p.m. in the Paseo de Vara
de Rey.
The Mesa del Transport Aeri also demands an increase in the subsidy
for residents from 33% to 50% and an improvement in sea communications
between Eivissa and Formentera, with a boat from Formentera to Eivissa
at 6.40 a.m. and another from Eivissa to Formentera at 10 p.m.
