About The Airline

Volotea was founded in 2011 by Carlos Muñoz and Lázaro Ros. It is one of the fastest-growing airlines in Europe over the last decade, expanding its network and increasing its seat offerings year-on-year. In May 2025, the airline will celebrate the milestone of carrying 75 million passengers throughout its network.
Volotea reaches 110 airports and is based in 19 medium-sized European capitals: Asturias, Bari, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Brest, Florence, Lille, Lyon, Lourdes, Marseille, Nantes, Naples, Olbia, Palermo, Rodez, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Venice, and Verona.
In 2025, Volotea will operate more than 420 routes (with over half exclusive), offer 12.7 million seats (+1% versus 2024), and fly approximately 75,000 flights. The airline operates a fleet of 41 Airbus A319 and A320.
Volotea is working towards achieving a more sustainable future in aviation. The airline has committed to reducing direct CO2 emissions per passenger-kilometer by 50% by 2030 (vs. 2012) and expects to reach this target between four to five years ahead of schedule.
Volotea, with a workforce of over 2,000 employees, actively boosts connectivity within the territories where it is based while contributing to their economic development and enriching the cultural landscape through impactful sponsorship projects.
Volotea was recognized by Skytrax in its global passenger satisfaction survey as the “Best Low-Cost Airline in Europe” at the 2023 and 2024 World Airline Awards, referred to by media worldwide as “the Oscars of the aviation industry.” The airline adds these accolades to its growing list of achievements, which includes consecutive wins for "Europe’s Leading Low-Cost Airline" at the World Travel Awards in 2021, 2022, and 2024.
