European LCC start-up Volotea looks to stimulate demand in regional markets, starting with Venice
Volotea, Europe’s newest low-cost carrier, is preparing to launch operations in April with a base at Venice Marco Polo Airport in Italy. The carrier is headquartered in Barcelona, which was the main hub for now defunct carrier Spanair, but has decided to base its initial fleet of Boeing 717s in Venice. Volotea will initially serve several destinations in Italy, France and Spain but has no immediate plans to serve Barcelona.
