Vueling increases passenger traffic by 3.6% in March

Barcelona, 11th April 2013. – Vueling Airlines has increased passenger traffic by 3.6% year on year. The company has carried 1,079,415 passengers and has reached a load factor of 80.2%, 1.7 points higher than the same period last year.

The traffic figures have been negatively impacted by the strike of Iberia handling and maintenance services. This situation has forced Vueling to cancel 318 flights, which represent 4% of the total scheduled flights.

Vueling just announced that it will start operating three additional new routes this summer season: from Barcelona to Minsk, the capital of Belarus and from Barcelona to Cagliari and Olbia, in the island of Sardinia.
