Vueling to Add Fourth Daily Barcelona – Milan Rotation

Spanish low-cost carrier Vueling Airlines is to introduce a fourth daily flight between its Barcelona base and Milan Malpensa this winter. The carrier is to modify its existing schedule to accommodate the additional frequency to be introduced from October 30, and will now offer great flexibility to business travellers and will enable it to better compete with rivals.

Vueling is currently the fourth largest operator on the route with an eleven per cent share of the estimated 576,000 O&D passengers that flew between the two airports in the past year. Over that period easyJet has dominated the market with a 46 per cent share, followed by Iberia (25 per cent) and Lufthansa (17 per cent). Vueling has now replaced Iberia on the route completely, while the forthcoming closure of Lufthansa Italia will free some capacity for the low-cost carriers to develop their own market share.
