Volotea is investing in Puglia’s Karol Wojtyla airport, its 8th Italian base: with a capacity increase of +38%, an Airbus A320, and eight new routes set to debut in 2024.
Bari’s airport to get new European flights from July
Bari’s Karol Wojtyla Airport will be accessible from Toulouse starting from 4 July with a bi-weekly frequency and a total offering of 6,480 seats for sale. Additionally, also from 4 July, Dubrovnik will have three weekly frequencies with over 9,000 seats on sale. Bilbao will be connected from 5 July with two weekly frequencies and an offering of over 6,000 seats (alongside the Sicilian airport of Comiso), and Malaga will be reachable from 6 July with a bi-weekly frequency and 6,120 seats on sale.
“Since 2012 we have carried over 2 million passengers”
Volotea has been active at the Apulian airport since 2012, having operated around 19,400 flights to date and carried more than two million passengers. “The opening of the summer base in Bari once again confirms Volotea's growth in Italy,” said Valeria Rebasti, international market director of the Spanish airline. “This important milestone and the connections announced today allow us to consolidate access to and from the region, with a total of 18 destinations and five different countries.”
Summer 2024: 18 destinations from Bari
“Next summer Volotea will connect 18 destinations from Bari, eight of which are brand new,- added the president of Aeroporti di Puglia, Antonio Maria Vasile, -this is excellent news for us and for Puglia. In addition to the new destinations, all of which are of great commercial interest, the other important decision by the company is that of opening their new base in Bari.”
