+1. And let's put an end to discussing politics here, as it really has nothing to do with the demise of an airline that had been doomed for years, and the Barajas accident plus the current crisis only precipitated the fall.

Vueling and Ryanair are now trying to make the most of the situation, but I think it's the former that will pull it off. It has the most routes in common, including the BCN-MAD shuttle, it's the "unofficial" airline of BCN and the one that should have more support from the government... but nothing like what Spanair got, of course.
