SPANISH LOW-COST carrier Volotea has announced plans to increase its fleet and expand its network in 2024 after achieving “historic financial margins” in 2023.
Building on its success, the airline, headquartered in Barcelona, plans to make 2024 a “record-breaking year” by carrying between 11.5 and 12 million passengers, an increase of 60% on 2019 levels, on nearly 450 routes. The airline will also offer up to 13 million seats, an increase of 12-16% compared to last year, on an estimated 80,000 flights.
Currently, over 50% of Volotea’s routes have no direct competition, which, the airline said, underscores “its significant role in establishing and facilitating crucial connections between regional European capitals and their surrounding communities”.
