New Cardiff Mallorca Route
SPANISH low-cost airline Vueling has announced two new routes out of Cardiff Airport.
Following its decision last year to launch a Cardiff to Barcelona service from March, it is now adding three-times-a-week services to Alicante and Mallorca from June.
Depending on demand in what will effectively be a test period this summer, it could make the new routes permanent, as well as adding further destinations out of Cardiff
Chief executive of Vueling Alex Cruz said: “We are delighted to be able to expand our footprint in Wales and increase our schedule to enable passengers from Cardiff to not only enjoy the city of Barcelona for weekend breaks but to also enjoy holidays to other popular Spanish destinations.
“Vueling is very pleased to be able to fulfil the local catchment area’s requirement for direct flights to these destinations for both leisure and business travelers.”Patrick Duffy, Cardiff Airport’s managing director, added: “We’re pleased with Vueling’s announcement to operate a further two routes to Alicante and Palma, in addition to the previously announced service to Barcelona. The Spanish low-cost carrier will be a welcome addition to South Wales, and will offer our passengers the chance to access some of Europe’s leading holiday destinations from their local airport.
“In addition the airline, which has a very high profile in Spain, will also give Spanish passengers the opportunity to visit Wales. We look forward to the start of the airline’s operations from Cardiff from the end of March, and trust the Welsh consumers will support these services.”
