The Delegate of the Government, Sabrina Moh, has reported that the Secretary General of Transport, Benito Núñez, accompanied by the Director General of Civil Aviation, David Benito, is going to travel to our city for the constitution of the Working Group to promote a new model of transport aid for residents and non-residents, which will take place tomorrow.

In her statement to the media, the Delegate recalled that, since the arrival of Pedro Sánchez to the Government of the Nation, “there have been many measures that have materialized to improve connectivity and transport services in Melilla.”

It has also highlighted the fact that the quality of services has been improved, at the same time that more new ships have been brought in or that the price drop has been strengthened and the airport hours have been extended since April, “a measure in which the central government has taken a lot of interest from the beginning and which we have not been able to carry out before due to the pandemic situation, but which, as soon as we have recovered frequency and passenger traffic, is going to materialize”.
