Vueling: A new focus
on “Quality”



— June 2018

Vueling has undergone a significant turnaround over the last 18 months — but is this due primarily to the LCC’s management or the imposition of new practices and discipline by IAG?

Based in Barcelona, Vueling was founded in 2004 before merging with Clickair in 2009 (see Aviation Strategy, May 2009). After being bought by IAG in April 2013, today the LCC operates to more than 100 destinations in Spain, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East out of 14 domestic bases (Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, Oviedo, Valencia, Alicante, La Coruña, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Seville, Malaga, Tenerife, Santiago and Las Palmas) and five international ones — Rome, Florence, Paris, Amsterdam and Zürich.
