Vueling <\/strong>has set figures, deadlines, and priorities for its long-term vision. The IAG group airline aims to transport 60 million passengers in 2035, approximately 20 million more than at present. This goal will be supported by a profound fleet transformation and a cumulative investment of \u20ac5 billion by 2030, focused primarily on aircraft renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategy was presented at an event held at the Llotja de Mar in Barcelona, where Vueling’s CEO, Carolina Martinoli, detailed a roadmap aimed at consolidating the company’s leadership both at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport and in the Spanish domestic market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleet: The Strategic Shift Towards Boeing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the pillars of the plan is the comprehensive fleet renewal. In August, IAG assigned Vueling a total of 50 Boeing 737 aircraft, a key decision for the airline’s operational future. As Martinoli confirmed, the first three aircraft will be incorporated in the last quarter of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective goes beyond simple modernization: Vueling aspires for its entire fleet, currently composed of 140 aircraft, to be integrated exclusively with Boeing planes, leaving behind the Airbus models that currently operate its entire network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company bases much of its growth on the greater capacity of the two planned Boeing models, which will allow it to absorb the increase in passengers while simultaneously achieving a 20% reduction in emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u20ac5 Billion Investment and Barcelona as the Primary Destination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the airline has not detailed the exact breakdown of the investment, it has made its priority destination clear. The \u20ac5 billion euros until 2030 will be directed towards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
