Ándalus severs Gibraltar - Madrid connection

GIBRALTAR
The latest airline to try its luck with connecting Gibraltar to Madrid and Barcelona, Ándalus, announced yesterday that it was 'suspending flights indefinitely', as well as those between Girona and Mahón. The announcement came as the Spanish air safety agency AESA announced that it was 'monitoring the airline's activities very closely'. Sources say that Ándalus owes the Gibraltar Government over €110,000 and had debts amounting to approximately €7million. The Spanish airline, of Andalusian capital, tried to fill the gap left by Iberia and GB Airwaves, who pulled out in 2008 and 2009 respectively.
