Spanair hostesses talk following a protest at Loiu airport near Bilbao February 1, 2012. Loss-making Spanish airline Spanair ceased operations last Friday night, 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.
