Spanair workers block a street near the labour ministry during a protest in Madrid, February 6, 2012. Loss-making Spanish airline Spanair ceased operations January 27, grounding all its airplanes after its owner, citing the country's economic crisis, said it would not sink any more money into the company. A spokesperson for the aircrews told Reuters that they were indignant that the company had alleged security reasons for not giving forewarning of the closure.
