In the case of Gran Canaria Airport, the company will offer in the month of October 2,160 seats for this route that will operate with a frequency of two flights a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. In total, Volotea has seven routes from this airport. Five international ones linking the island with France – Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes and Toulouse – and two domestic ones to Asturias, Bilbao.
“This year, Volotea, will continue to strengthen our connectivity strategy between the mainland and the islands. We are therefore very pleased to announce these new routes connecting Tenerife and Gran Canaria with our base in Bilbao. The new routes reinforce our presence in the Canary archipelago, where Volotea has already carried more than 1 million customers since it began operations in the islands in 2012. In addition, we continue to study new connection opportunities for the near future,” commented Gabriel Schmilovich Isgut, Volotea’s Chief Strategy Officer.
