Eliance acknowledges difficulties in maintaining helicopters and the DGT orders the return of the entire fleet to Madrid

Eliance, the company responsible for aerial traffic regulation for the DGT, has suspended helicopter operations due to insolvency, affecting emergency services in Madrid. The DGT ordered all helicopters to be relocated to Madrid for preservation after Eliance reported its inability to ensure service continuity. The situation escalated following a meeting where Eliance officials indicated they were awaiting a bankruptcy administrator and had limited funds for essential payments. This crisis raises concerns about the viability of crucial aerial services, with no clear timeline for resuming normal operations from the DGT.
