Vueling relaunches direct flights between Spain and London Heathrow
From April, the airline will operate twice daily flights from Barcelona to the UK
Vueling, a budget airline owned by the IAG group, is relaunching its connection between London Heathrow and Barcelona, and introducing a new route connecting Paris and London Heathrow.
Starting April 7, Vueling will operate two daily flights between Barcelona and London Heathrow, seven days a week. This restored link will complement the airline's existing eight daily flights from the Catalan city to London Gatwick, bringing the total number of daily flights between Barcelona and London to ten.
Additionally, Vueling is launching a daily service between London Heathrow and Paris Orly. The London-Paris route is brand new for Vueling, and is not currently operated by any other airline, boosting the UK's links to one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. The introduction of this route is especially relevant to the upcoming Paris Olympic Games, offering fans a great value option to travel to the French capital and see some of the biggest stars in world sport in action. There will be flights once a day, every day of the week.
According to Carolyn Prowse, Commercial Director, Customers, Network and Strategy at Vueling, “We are delighted to relaunch operations from London Heathrow, the largest airport in the United Kingdom. These two new routes add to our current operation from London Gatwick and position Vueling as one of the key airlines connecting these important hubs throughout Europe. Barcelona is our largest hub and we will now offer up to 10 daily flights from London in total; and Paris Orly, is our second largest hub, and does not currently have any services from Heathrow.
“This relaunch has been possible thanks to our strong collaboration with British Airways,” she added.
