L'entreprise Vueling Airlines.

About the company:

Vueling Airlines is a mainly low-cost company, from Spain, based at El Prat de Llobregat, Barcelona, with hubs in Bacelona-El Prat Airport and Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport in Rome, Italy. The company`s name is coming from the Spanish word „Vuelo”, which means flight. There are thirteen additional bases at A Coruña, Alicante, Amsterdam, Bilbao, Brussels, Florence, Madrid, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Paris-Orly Seville and Valencia. A fourteenth summer seasonal base is located in Ibiza.

In 2009 Vueling united with other Spanish low-cost Clickair. Now the main shareholder of Vueling is Iberia which possesses 46% of actions of a low-cost.

Vueling serves the directions in Europe and the western Mediterranean. It is the second-large airline of Spain after Iberia. In 2013 the company transported 14.8 million passengers

Vueling works in the category of low-cost hybrid. Like other LCCs, Vueling has adapted the basic low-cost airline business model and added some unique features. The carrier offers a number of seating options, including the possibility of a “duo seat” that leaves the middle seat free and comes supplied with a snack and drink included at no additional cost (an approach similar to the mainline European business class product). And, whereas most LCCs charge for seat reservations, Vueling does not.

The carrier also allows passengers to take, without charge, earlier flights on the day of travel on domestic routes and selected international services. Vueling also has its own, very uncomplicated frequent flyer programme (FFP), Punto. This embraces a Visa card and a limited number of hotel and car rental partners, each of which can be used to accumulate and redeem awards points. Importantly in the context of

Vueling’s connectivity with Iberia, the programme is also more or less interchangeable – for both earning and burning – with the Iberia Plus FFP.

About Vueling in Ukraine

Till 2013 Ukrainians didn't know about this company. But in February 2013 the Vueling airline declared the entry into the Ukrainian market. The company opened sales of tickets for the flight Kiev-Barcelona. There were only three flights in a week on this «route» (there and back). Later Vueling Airlines performed flights from Alicante and Palma-de-Majorca, to Moscow and St. Petersburg in total of 38 flights per week (for July, 2014). Since October 2013 the airline began flights to Minsk and also to Kiev in Zhulyana's airport.

And nowadays this company is flying to different destination everyday. So I can say that is one of the fastest growing airlines in Ukraine.
