Vueling Airlines is a Spanish low-cost airline based at El Prat de Llobregat in Greater Barcelona. Its hubs are Barcelona—El Prat Airport and Leonardo da Vinci—Fiumicino Airport in Rome. The airline is part of IAG, one of the world's leading aviation groups.
Vueling Airlines was launched in July 2004. The initial fleet consisted of two Airbus A320 aircraft, based in Barcelona serving Brussels, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca and Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Vueling was formed by combining the Spanish word vuelo (flight) with the English gerund suffix -ing. Today, the airlines offer air transportation, flight booking, luggage handling, cargo transportation, and other related services. Vueling Airlines is the largest airline in Catalonia, measured by fleet size and number of destinations. Vueling serves over 100 destinations in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Vueling is one of Europe’s leading low-cost airlines, with special relevance in the Spanish domestic market, as well as in France and Italy.
The carrier operates Airbus A320 family aircraft. Vueling merged with fellow Barcelona-based LCC and Iberia-controlled Clickair in 2009, with the merged entity keeping the Vueling brand. On 23-Apr-2013, IAG acquired control of Vueling, which saw the recently purchased 44.66% stake by IAG merged with Iberia's existing 45.85% stake, forming a 90.51% shareholding. Vueling remains a standalone company within IAG.
Vueling has codeshare agreements with the following airlines: Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, Level, LATAM Brasil, and Qatar Airways.
