Tickets are now on sale for Vueling’s new route between Birmingham and the Andalusian city of Malaga, to be launched this winter.
Services will begin on November 1st operating every Tuesday and Saturday offering 15,120 seats from Birmingham Airport. Flights will be operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft with capacity for 180 passengers.
Vueling, a member of the International Airlines Group (IAG) started its operation from Birmingham Airport in May 2015, with direct services to Barcelona. Following the success of Barcelona, the airline announced two new routes which will start in June: Alicante, with up to two weekly flights, and Tenerife, with up to three weekly services. With these three routes, Vueling is offering more than 97,600 seats between the months of April and October.
Gabriel Schmilovich, Network Planning, Scheduling and Slots Director at Vueling, said: “We are very glad to announce another new route from Birmingham Airport. Malaga is a hugely popular destination for holidaymakers all year round and, with Vueling, Birmingham travellers will have access to a premium product at very competitive fares”.
William Pearson, Aviation Development Director at Birmingham Airport, said: “Vueling, which only started services in May 2015 to Barcelona, has now announced a fourth route with the addition of Malaga for Winter 2016. This popular Spanish destination means passengers have even more choice from their local airport. Vueling, Spain’s low cost airline, is a fantastic airline that means passengers can redeem or gain their Avios points on these sunshine destinations.”
