Volotea has launched a significant connectivity deployment between Spain and Italy by directly linking Florence’s Amerigo Vespucci Airport with the terminals of Asturias, Sevilla, San Sebastián, and Valencia.
These additions represent, for the most part, the first scheduled commercial air links in history between these destinations, substantially expanding travel options for passengers from each of these regions.
Asturias: First Historic Link and Base Consolidation
In northern Spain, the carrier has inaugurated its new connection between Asturias Airport and Florence, establishing the first direct scheduled air service ever recorded between the two points.
- Frequencies: The route will operate with two weekly frequencies.
- Capacity and Network: With this opening, Volotea expands its total number of offered routes from Asturias to 24, raising its seating capacity in the Principality to a figure exceeding 1.2 million seats.
San Sebastián: International Milestone and Seating Deployment
The launch of operations between San Sebastián and Florence constitutes another historic milestone: it is the first scheduled connection between the two cities and, in turn, the first international route operated by the carrier from the capital of Gipuzkoa.
