Vueling Flights

Vueling was founded in 2004. It was founded on the 16th May 2004 by launching a campaign offering flights for seven pounds: - more than 50,000 tickets were sold in only 15 days. The airline initially began at the end of 2002, when Carlos Muñoz and Lázaro Ros established a promotional society in order to finance the market studies and economic viability studies for the Vueling project. They placed Vueling's headquarters in El Prat, Barcelona's International Airport and set up a secondary hub in Barajas, Madrid's International Airport.

Vueling's first commercial flight took off in July 2004 from Barcelona to Ibiza. Vueling started operating with two Airbus A 320 aircrafts. Today, it has a total of 21 Airbus aircrafts. It is interesting that a competition is held giving passengers the opportunity to name Vueling aircrafts. Travellers are asked to name the planes each time that a new route is opened, and so for this reason there are aircrafts with names as creative as "Vendi, Vidi, Vueling" or "Vueling in Love".

Although Vueling is a low cost company, its corporative philosophy is focused on the concept of a "New Generation Airline". And so in theory Vueling only lands in the main airports of large cities, most of them located in Spain and Europe. Today, the airline offers 35 routes and carries over 6 million passengers each year. www vueling com
