AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWildfire Crisis in France & Spain: Wildfires are forcing mass evacuations across southwestern France and central Spain, with flames threatening Bordeaux and Madrid-area towns. France has evacuated about 141,000 people in Gironde and Landes, while Spain has moved roughly 60,000 residents to safety; officials warn the Madrid blaze is “beyond” firefighters’ capacity as winds could worsen conditions. Tourists have been caught up too, including evacuations from the Cap Ferret peninsula by road and boat as the only exit route faces fire. EU Firefighting Reinforcements: The European Commission has mobilised four Canadair planes to Spain this Saturday—two from Italy and two from Greece—to boost aerial firefighting, alongside additional EU support for France. Travel Impact Watch: With smoke crossing borders and heatwave conditions persisting, authorities and the UK Foreign Office are urging travellers to follow local instructions and avoid affected areas. Other Travel Notes: A survey of in-flight dining ranks Emirates and Air France highly for onboard food and wine, while Turkey bookings from Bahrain reportedly fell up to 60% as costs soar.
