🌡 Due to temperatures exceeding 40 degrees, Greece closed the Acropolis to the public yesterday from 12 PM to 5 PM. This is not the first closure this year; it happened twice in June, an unusual period for such heat. The Acropolis, Athens' top tourist attraction, welcomed 4 million visitors last year. Peak temperatures are expected this weekend.

📍 Air Europa plans to expand its fleet by one or two Dreamliners by the end of the year, despite long delivery times. The airline currently operates 52 aircraft and anticipates completing a merger with the IAG Group. The demand for long-haul flights is strong, with a 7% seat increase in 2024, accounting for 80% of the sales and providing a capacity of 1,200 seats per day from Italy. The airline enjoys a load factor of over 90% on Italian flights. New destinations are planned, including Santiago de Chile, but challenges in promoting locations like Paraguay institutionally remain. The introduction of new aircraft will focus on enhancing fleet rotation.
