Spanish property market could benefit from opening up military routes to commercial airlines
The Spanish government is considering allowing commercial airlines to use military routes, which would make travelling to Spain easier and quicker. Some experts feel that such a decision could help to kick-start the Spanish property market.
If the
Spanish government decides to let commercial airlines use military routes it would allow a series of
new airline routes into Spain to be negotiated, improving accessibility for property investors, reports Overseas Property Professional (OPP).
Experts in the property industry feel that this would be beneficial for
Spain's property market: "This is possibly the best news we've had to help kick-start the faltering Spanish property market," said Adam Gale of
Costa del Sol-based Duchy Estates.
Increasing the number of airline routes into Spain would help make up the minds of property investors who are as yet undecided on where to buy; Gale added that as long-haul flights become more expensive, investors would "flock" to Spain once more rather than choosing destinations further afield.
More flights to Spain could also provide a bigger holidaymaker market for investors in
self-catering accommodation in Spain; OPP points out that holidaying in Spain could save "many hundreds of euros for families choosing short-haul destinations" rather than more distant locations.
