Hispania Airways (Granada) has announced on Friday, December 21, that it has suspended all operations with immediate effect just 15 days after its operational launch on December 6. The virtual carrier had wet-leased MD-83 YR-HBY (MSN 49950) from Medallion Air (Bucharest Baneasa) for routes from Granada to Barcelona El Prat, London Gatwick, Madrid Barajas, Paris CDG and Rome Fiumicino. Hispania and its ticketing agent Vista Travel are both blaming each other for the failure of the new start-up carrier with Hispania promising full refunds to customers and a resumption of services thanks to a new unnamed US investor.
