Air Europa strengthens transatlantic position with fleet innovation and route growth

July 17, 2025 at 20:17 PM EDT

As airlines worldwide struggle with delivery delays and rising costs, Air Europa is quietly consolidating its position with a modern fleet, expanded short-haul entertainment options, and renewed focus on high-demand corridors between Europe and the Americas.

Miami , July 18, 2025 -- Air Europa, a subsidiary of Spain’s only vertically integrated tourism group Globalia, has renewed its transatlantic focus with the continued deployment of Boeing 787 Dreamliners across long-haul routes and a growing network of destinations connecting Europe with major US and Latin American cities.

While the global aviation industry faces turbulence from aircraft delivery delays and persistent supply chain constraints, Air Europa is emerging as one of the few carriers benefiting from early investments in a more efficient fleet and digital-first service approach.

According to industry research by Bain & Company, the supply of new aircraft fell short of demand by more than 30% in 2023 and 2024, a gap that is expected to drive consolidation and cost pressures across the sector.

Reinventing long-haul travel with the 787 Dreamliner

At the heart of the airline’s expansion is the Dreamliner fleet, known for its fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and quieter cabin experience. The aircraft delivers up to 25% lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to older models, while cutting noise by 60%.

These performance gains not only reduce the airline’s environmental impact but also improve cost-efficiency and service reliability, which are critical factors in a constrained global aviation market.

Expanding entertainment on short and medium haul attracts customers

Air Europa’s existing Dreamliner fleet and strong presence on mid-range routes provide a degree of insulation from these challenges. The company has also introduced AE Media, a new in-app entertainment platform that allows passengers on short- and medium-haul Boeing 737 flights to access movies and series—many from Max and HBO, on their own devices, even without onboard internet.

Focus on high-demand corridors

With a strong presence in key transatlantic markets including New York, Miami, São Paulo, Lima, and Buenos Aires, Air Europa is reinforcing its position as a carrier of choice on high-demand corridors connecting Europe to Latin America and the U.S.

Its growing network is supported by robust code-sharing partnerships, including with Etihad Airways, expanding reach and providing smooth interline connections for global passengers.

A growing European player

As part of its broader strategy, Air Europa continues to strengthen partnerships with international carriers and expand digital tools across the passenger journey, including flexible check-in, group booking options, and payment features designed for today’s travellers.

In an increasingly constrained market, these fundamentals position Air Europa as a growing European player ready to respond to changing customer expectations.

About the company: Air Europa is the airline division of Globalia, Spain’s leading tourism group. Based in Madrid, Air Europa operates domestic and international flights to more than 60 destinations across Europe and the Americas, with a focus on operational efficiency, passenger experience, and fleet sustainability.
