Listen to the story

A new airline is coming to Galicia, in Spain. Its name is Fly2Galicia. It will offer flights from Santiago de Compostela airport.

Fly2Galicia does not own planes. It will use planes from another company. This is called a charter.

The company that owns the planes has Israeli capital. This means people from Israel gave money to start the company.

People are asking questions about this company. It has flown planes to take Palestinian people out of Gaza. Gaza is a place with a lot of war and problems now.

Fly2Galicia has a new website. On the website, people can see the flights and how often they fly.

The airline wants to bring more visitors to Galicia. Many people hope this will help tourism in the area.
