The percentage discount on fares for scheduled air passenger transport services between the Autonomous Communities of the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, respectively, and the rest of Spain, as well as for inter-island journeys, shall be, for an indefinite period, 75% of the discount fare for each direct one-way or round trip.

For these purposes, a direct outward journey is considered to be that which is made from the airport of the point of origin in the archipelagos, Ceuta or Melilla, to the final destination, other than the previous one, in the national territory and vice versa, without intermediate stops, or with stops imposed by the technical needs of the service or for reasons of force majeure. The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility may, by ministerial order, set maximum subsidised amounts for air transport, distinguishing between the different markets affected.

The part of the fare that exceeds these maximum amounts will not be subject to a rebate. When the fare is lower than the maximum amount eligible for a discount, the 75% discount shall be applied to that fare in order to calculate the discount.

Residents of Ceuta who make a direct journey between that city and the rest of the national territory, using maritime and air transport, shall obtain the discount on air fares when they depart from or arrive at the airports of Malaga, Jerez or Seville.

The maximum limit of the subsidy for all residents of the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, including inter-island routes, shall be 75 % of the basic fare of the route of each airline.

The basic fare for scheduled air transport services shall mean the lowest fully flexible fare for a single or return flight, offered at least to the same extent as any other fully flexible fare offered for the same air service.

In the case of Iberia the discount limit shall be 75 % of fares YD for non-stop and YJ for non-stop.

 In the case of air tickets, for their issue, account shall be taken of the fact that the flight coupons for each leg of air travel included in a direct journey must be included in a single ticket and the booking of the flights must be noted and closed.

When a passenger chooses to purchase a subsidised ticket, due to residence in non-peninsular territories, for scheduled air transport on domestic routes (exclusive scope of the subsidy), the passenger will be informed of the following points:

• The passenger, beneficiary of the subsidy for residence in non-peninsular territories, must be a resident of the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla, i.e. must be registered in a municipality of the aforementioned autonomous communities or cities.
