Venice will start at €49. Despite these operational plans, the company remains under scrutiny regarding its business model. While marketed as a new Galician airline, legal documentation indicates that Fly2Galicia is a commercial brand owned by Aviation & Mobility Services Group, S.L., rather than an independent operator with its own Air Operator Certificate. Instead, it utilizes the Romanian airline FLYYO S.R.L. for its flight operations. This arrangement has drawn political criticism from Movemento Sumar Galicia. Secretary general Paulo Carlos López has demanded transparency concerning FLYYO’s background, specifically following an Al Jazeera investigation. That investigation identified an aircraft registered to the Romanian company among those used in operations to transport Palestinian populations out of Gaza, suggesting potential links to intermediaries facilitating voluntary emigration from the region.
