Over the past week, we were excited to participate in Fêtes maritimes de Brest 2024, the largest maritime festival in Brest, celebrating its 8th edition this year. Across six days, the event received nearly 700,000 visitors and gathered numerous boats, sailors, and sailing enthusiasts in the city. 🌊⛵️ As a partner, we created a stand in the festival's Tourism Village dedicated to highlighting the 19 destinations we offer from Brest, engaging visitors with various activities. Our booth featured a fun photo contest where guests could win a flight from the city to a destination of their choice, and children were able to enjoy creative activities such as making and decorating wooden planes, crafting paper planes, and participating in coloring workshops. 📸✈️🎨 Our Chief Strategy Officer, Gabriel Schmilovich, and Country Manager for France, Gilles GOSSELIN, met with Aéroport Brest Bretagne's Director of Operations, Claude ARPHEXAD, at our stand to demonstrate our collective dedication to the region and its cultural heritage. With a strong presence in Brittany since 2013, we've transported around 750,000 passengers to and from the region, proudly opening and making it our 9th French base last April. We expect to have the highest capacity in our history this year with over 350,000 available seats, continuing our commitment to Brittany and establishing close relationships with its residents. 🇫🇷🛫

Yesterday, we attended Dovetail Electric Aviation's Open Day in Seville, where their team unveiled a hydrogen-electric powerplant prototype, the first of its kind to be tested in Spain. This project, partially funded by a grant from ICEX through its Innova Invest program, is the result of a collaborative effort between teams in Australia and Spain and represents significant progress in sustainable aviation technology. As proud investors in Dovetail, alongside Air Nostrum and Aciturri, we're excited to see their progress in developing future zero-emission technologies and pleased to support these innovations in efficient and sustainable practices within the aerospace industry. ✈️💡 Our ESG Director, Gloria Carreras, who is also on Dovetail's Board of Advisors, attended the event alongside Marc Garcia, our Quality & Safety Intern, and Alexandru Turcoman, our Power Plant Engineer, who were selected during Dovetail's visit to our headquarters to learn more about the project. They joined industry leaders, government representatives, and the media who were able to witness these important developments in sustainable aviation. #Volotea #DovetailElectricAviation #SustainableAviation #HydrogenElectric #Innovation

At Volotea, we believe in engaging with cultural institutions in the cities where we operate, continuously promoting heritage and the arts, which is essential for community enrichment. Last week, we were honored to attend the opening of “Ashes to Stitches,” a new exhibition by local Nantais artist Céleste Richard Zimmermann, at the Zoo Galerie in Nantes, with our Country Manager for France, Gilles GOSSELIN, in attendance. This sponsorship, facilitated by the Fonds métropolitain pour la culture (FMC), which we have proudly supported since 2023, highlights our ongoing commitment to Nantes. As our main European base with over 50 destinations served, Nantes is a crucial part of our operations, and we’re honored to have been enhancing connectivity for passengers from the city since 2012. The exhibition will be open until October 26th this year. We extend our thanks to the FMC and Director, Agathe Bergel, the Zoo Galerie, and Co-Director, Mya Finbow, and especially Céleste, for their invaluable collaboration and trust in us as sponsors. #Volotea #FMCNantes #ZooGalerie #ContemporaryArt #Sponsorship

Congratulations to Alex Castello, Kilian Aliaga, Ibai Lazkanotegi, David Fernández, and Oliver Mauri!

We're very happy to share that we inaugurated our 21st base in Europe at Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport earlier today, marking our eighth base in Italy. We celebrated with a special event at the airport attended by our International Market Director, Valeria Rebasti, and Airports of Apulia President, Antonio M Vasile, along with their respective teams and local press. Since the start of our operations in Bari in 2012, we've been a part of the region's growth, having transported over 2 million passengers. This year, we're offering 224,000 seats—a 37% increase compared to 2023—to a total of 18 destinations, 50% of which are operated exclusively by our airline. Our inaugural event also marked the launch of new routes from Bari, including exclusive connections to Bilbao, Comiso, Preveza/Lefkada, and Split and routes to Dubrovnik, Malaga, Rhodes, and Toulouse. This milestone underscores our more than a decade-long commitment to the Apulia region and our dedication to enhancing connectivity between this vibrant area and the rest of Italy and Europe. We're grateful to AEROPORTI DI PUGLIA SPA for their support and look forward to welcoming more passengers aboard our flights to and from the Apulia region soon! 🇮🇹 #Volotea #Bari #Apulia #AeroportidiPuglia #Puglia #WeareinPuglia

We are very excited to announce a joint venture with the Abra Group, a leading airline consortium in Latin America, including prominent carriers such as avianca and GOL Linhas Aéreas. This collaboration combines our extensive European network with Abra's long-haul reach across the Americas, creating an integrated solution that enhances connectivity for consumers all across Europe and Latin America, via Madrid. This joint venture is positioned as an optimal solution and a compelling alternative to act as a 'remedy taker' in the prospective merger between IAG and Air Europa. Earlier today in Madrid, our CEO and Founder, Carlos Muñoz, and Adrian Neuhauser, CEO of Abra Group, detailed this initiative at a press conference. ✈️ This partnership will enable passengers to travel from our various bases and operational cities in Europe to Madrid, where they can seamlessly connect to over 130 destinations in Latin America, North America, and the Caribbean. The joint venture not only aims to enhance connectivity for millions of passengers, providing a coordinated, high-quality experience at competitive prices, but also seeks to solidify Madrid as a crucial hub for national, international, and intercontinental air routes, bolstering Spain's position as a top global destination. 🌍 If the merger between IAG and Air Europa is approved and we are designated as 'remedy takers,' Volotea plans to establish a base in Madrid with approximately 15 to 20 aircraft dedicated to servicing all short-haul routes. Reflecting on the significance of this partnership, our CEO and Founder, Carlos Muñoz, stated, "We are happy to announce this historic and groundbreaking joint venture agreement between our two companies today. Abra Group, with Avianca and GOL airlines, is one of the two leading groups in Latin America, and combining their strength with our network of over 450 routes in Europe will provide great opportunities for all European and Latin American consumers. This alliance will not only strengthen our operations but also allow us to offer better service to our passengers, contribute to economic growth, and improve connectivity between different regions, always through Madrid. This agreement is just a first step, and both companies are committed to growing in the medium and long term, as well as in destinations and flights, providing customers with more and better options." 🤝 #Volotea #AbraGroup #Avianca #GOL #JointVenture #IAG #AirEuropa
