How would you describe Vueling since its merger with Clickair?
Vueling's strength lies in its difference, which makes it a new-generation airline. We combine the advantages of the low-cost concept, such as cost reduction and dynamic fleet management, while retaining the best of the traditional carriers: distribution, punctuality, customer loyalty, etc. We still need to raise our profile in France. Although the company is Spanish, the Paris-Rome route is the most successful, ahead of Paris-Barcelona.
Why did you close Nice-Barcelona this summer?
Vueling stopped this service at the end of July due to an insufficient number of frequencies. We didn't have a rotation every day and this flight was operated too late in the day. Our strategy is to expand the Paris stopover, where we already have around twenty daily flights: to Barcelona, Rome, Madrid, Seville, Malaga, Valencia, Ibiza, Alicante, etc.
Why choose Vueling?
The number of weekday flights attracts a large number of business customers looking to travel at a lower cost. Vueling also plays the service card, and these frequent travellers can change their ticket without penalty for another departure on the same day if their schedule changes. They can also reserve the middle seat in the first four rows of the aircraft for €30, so that they can work better. Not to mention earning miles on our Punto frequent flyer programme or on Iberia Plus, with Iberia owning 50 % of our capital.
