The service has been interrupted since June 30, 2026, following the expiration of the previous contract, prompting a unified institutional response. The regional chamber has urged the central executive to ensure the continuity of this route, which is considered essential for the supply and economic competitiveness of Fuerteventura.
During the plenary session held this Tuesday, the need to prevent the connection from depending on voluntary improvements in company bids was highlighted. The current uncertainty has worsened the double insularity affecting the island by removing a direct communication link with the Peninsula.
The regional executive has formally requested that the tender be resolved as soon as possible and that the Puerto del Rosario-Cadiz line be listed as an obligation rather than an optional improvement.
The Minister of Public Works, Housing and Mobility confirmed that the central government has accepted the regional request. The commitment is to include the route as mandatory in the new tender, with the goal of restoring the service before the end of 2026.
