Pardon moi, I noticed that a bit too late, can't delete posts here. Just would like to point out that VY is not just about opening up new routes and succeeding with load-factors.

These destinations are only served during the summer season.

I see Vueling are introducing a "Points" system for frequent flyers. This is possibly a clever idea from Vueling to distinguish themselves from Clickair and to encourage their customers to remain loyal to them.

Well done Vueling!

PS - I notice that Alicante has disappeared from their routemap

Post by **airbuske** » 28 Oct 2006, 13:52

Indeed "Punto" will be Vueling's frequent flyer program.

The flights to Alicante ALC had a very low LF.
I don't know if the destination will come back in the future.

Does anyone have info on new routes for Vueling in 2007??

Post by **airbuske** » 14 Nov 2006, 16:08

They requested slots for FRA,DUS for Winter '06.

Vueling Eyes 2007 Profit, Fleet Expansion

Spanish low-cost airline Vueling should move sharply into profit for the first time in 2007, and it added on Friday that its upcoming listing on the Madrid bourse would help it buy aircraft and set up a new hub outside Spain.

Barcelona-based Vueling said it expected to earn net profit of EUR24.2 million euros in 2007 on revenues of EUR427 million , going into the black after its own forecast of a EUR7.1 million loss in 2006 and sales of EUR238 million.

Vueling will have increased its fleet of leased Airbus A320s to 16 by the end of the year, flying to 12 cities around Spain as well as three Italian destinations, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. It plans to boost that to 37 planes by the end of 2008.

Chief Executive Carlos Munoz said on Friday the airline was in the early stages of talks with both Boeing and Airbus about the possibility of buying between 20 and 40 aircraft, though he did not say how likely an order was or when it might be.

Spain's stock market regulator on Thursday approved its initial public offering -- the first no-frills airline to list on the Spanish stock exchange.

"A very important increase in the network, the opening of a third base, the purchase of aircraft... this is why we're listing," Chief Executive Carlos Munoz told journalists in Madrid.

"The most important thing about this listing is that it puts Vueling in the Champions League of airlines in this country and probably at the European level too."

To expand its network and meet higher demand from outside Spain, it is also studying opening a third base outside Spain to add to its hubs in Barcelona and Madrid.

Any idea where this will be.
My money would be on Paris (or Lisbon)

Post by **airbuske** » 18 Nov 2006, 12:58

I would say Paris or Brussels

I read a time ago that Brussels Airport would like to work together with SN Brussels Airlines/Vex and LCC's Sky Europe and Vueling to offer more destinations. So would there be a chance that they would open the hub here ?
Time will tell.

I heard some rumours that Vueling requested for summer 2007 many slots at several airports in Germany, Belgium, Italy and Netherlands.
They want to expand on existing routes and add new ones.
So they have the intention to operate BRU-ALC-BRU daily from april on a schedule 1225 arrival and 1300 departure.

VLGdriver · Post by **VLGdriver** » 19 Nov 2006, 20:09

The third hub will be in Paris, Milan or Rome.
According to Munoz...

Today I read that the base outside Spain would be Milan, Roma or Brussels!

Post by **airbuske** » 30 Nov 2006, 21:16

Today plane number 15 arrived from the Airbus factory.
Plane will be A320-214 c/n 2962 EC-JYX.
Number 16, last one for this year, will arrive soon at Barcelona Airport.

From tomorrow, December the first, Vueling will be listed on the stock market. A share will be 30 euro at the start.
Vueling would like to increase its fleet with 40 A320 or B737's.
