Buy Volotea flights with Alternative Airlines
Volotea is a Spanish low-cost airline headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. The airline Volotea was established by Alaeo, which was created by former Vueling founders Munoz and Ros. In February 2012, Volotea signed a long term deal with Boeing for an undisclosed number of Boeing 717 aircraft. In November 2015, the carrier announced to phase out their 717 fleet over the next few years and replace it with Airbus A320 family.
The Boeing 717 is equipped with Rolls-Royce engines and is renowned for its comfort and reliability. It's an extremely reliable 125-seat aircraft and offers a high level of comfort due to its limited five seats per row.
Volotea's competitive pricing, positive ratings and in-flight entertainment have led us to rank it as The Most Underrated Low-Cost Airline.
