Spanish airline Volotea starts the year with the addition of three Airbus A320 aircraft to its fleet, in response to the increase in capacity and the new routes announced for this year.
With these additions, the company will have a total of 44 aircraft: 20 Airbus A319 and 24 A320 aircraft.
The three new aircraft will start flying in April, when the summer season begins.
