Volotea

Our International Market Director, Valeria Rebasti, met with the Sardinian press today in Olbia to discuss Volotea's 2024 operations from the Costa Smeralda. This summer, we transported over 687,000 passengers from Olbia, achieving a 91% seat load factor 📈, and 9 out of 10 passengers departing from Olbia said they would recommend Volotea 👍 – underscoring both the demand for our routes and the quality of service at one of our main Italian bases. As we enter the winter season ❄️, we’re pleased to maintain year-round service with routes from Olbia to Verona, Venice, Turin, and Barcelona, along with special holiday connections to Bologna, Milan Bergamo, and our regular PSO service to Rome Fiumicino. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to meeting the travel needs of the Sardinian community. Looking ahead to 2025, we anticipate a 5% increase in capacity, with nearly 1.1 million seats and 27 routes planned from Olbia. Thank you to Mario Garau, Head of Route Development at Olbia Airport, and the entire team at Aeroporto Olbia Costa Smeralda for their partnership since 2012 and to our crew – we look forward to serving Sardinian travelers this winter and in the year ahead! ✈️ #Volotea #Olbia #CostaSmeralda #Sardinia #WinterRoutes #2025Growth

This week at MRO Europe, we met with our partners at Airbus to sign a new agreement, part of a broader partnership to expand our use of Airbus Services and enhance fleet performance. Our Chief Operating Officer, Eduard Diviu Terradas, alongside Technical Senior Director, Matias Datino, joined Delphine Gianoglio, Head of Airbus Services Europe, and the Airbus team for the signing. ✈️✍️ As we continue integrating new technologies, we’ve already seen encouraging results. With the full integration of Descent Profile Optimization (DPO) across our fleet in April 2024, we’ve achieved a reduction of up to 958 tons of CO2 since 2019. Earlier this year, we also began implementing Skywise, Airbus’ predictive maintenance system, which helps detect potential technical issues before they arise, improving fleet reliability and minimizing delays. 🛠️📊 This expanded collaboration strengthens our commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability, with Airbus ensuring that, as a '100% Services' customer, we operate to the latest standards, delivering a more reliable and seamless travel experience for our passengers.

Last week, at elEconomista's III Aviation Forum, our ESG Director Gloria Carreras participated in the panel “The Roadmap for Sustainable Aviation,” alongside professionals from key organizations in the aviation sector who are leading sustainability efforts within their companies and across the industry. ✈️ The event highlighted the need to balance sustainability with economic competitiveness, focusing on the challenges of transitioning to net-zero emissions by 2050. Key discussions centered around the critical role of SAF, technological innovations, and supportive regulations in driving this transformation. ⚖️💡 During the panel, Gloria commented, “On the path to decarbonizing aviation, collaboration among key industry players is essential, and we are all working together toward this common goal. As an airline, one of our main focuses is to support fuel producers and work closely with them to continue developing SAF and meet the mandate of reaching 70% SAF by 2050, which is a significant challenge."

Last week, we were pleased to take part in TTG Travel Experience - ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP in Rimini, one of the most important B2B events in the Italian tourism sector. This three-day gathering brought together leading industry professionals, showcasing key trends, innovations, and opportunities shaping the future of travel and tourism in Italy. ✈️🇮🇹 We also had the chance to meet our partners – tour operators, travel agents, cruise lines, airports, and tourist boards – to update them on our summer 2025 plans.

Last week, we joined over 12,700 attendees at the 5th edition of BNEW - Barcelona New Economy Week, where professionals from diverse sectors such as health, talent, sustainability, and aviation gathered to discuss their respective industry’s challenges and future perspectives. During the panel "Strategic Projections for the Development of Air Routes in Spain in a Global Context," our Chief Strategy Officer, Gabriel Schmilovich Isgut, participated alongside key representatives from Spain’s aviation sector, including AENA and Vueling Airlines, discussing the development of routes, Spain’s competitiveness, and evolving travel trends. ✈️📈 In discussing how new routes are planned, Gabriel emphasized our strategic focus on "underserved areas" where demand exists but direct services are limited. This approach enables us to better serve regions that often lack sufficient connectivity, improving accessibility across the board. When addressing Spain’s position in the aviation landscape, Gabriel pointed out the "untapped potential" in northern and southern regions, as well as in regional cities that show increasing promise. By enhancing connectivity in these areas, there are significant opportunities for growth throughout the country. The panel also examined whether high-speed rail competes with air travel. Gabriel explained that rail can "complement air travel," allowing some passengers to arrive by plane and complete their journey by train. This integration increases opportunities for customers by offering more seamless travel options. 🚄 Finally, as the panel explored post-COVID travel trends, Gabriel highlighted how "flexibility in remote work" has led to more off-peak travel, helping reduce seasonality and providing travelers with more options. It was an insightful discussion, shedding light on the promising opportunities ahead for Spain’s connectivity and the evolving aviation industry. Spain's aviation landscape is set for exciting growth, with new routes and innovations shaping the future. 🚀🇪🇸 #Volotea #BNEW #AviationSector #Spain

At Volotea, we’re pleased to be part of VINCI Airports' Forest Carbon Sink Program, launched in 2021, with the aim of offsetting part of our carbon emissions through reforestation projects. Today, 15 volunteers from our Nantes base, alongside Aéroport Nantes Atlantique, helped plant 70 trees on a property in Pay Richereau, approximately thirty kilometers from the airport. The trees, including cedars, pears, among other varieties, were carefully chosen for their resilience to climate change and their ability to thrive in local conditions. 🌳   This project was made possible through joint funding, with 50% financed by Volotea and 50% through voluntary contributions from our customers. By working together with VINCI Airports, we are reinforcing our shared commitment to promoting sustainable practices within the aviation industry and supporting the well-being of the communities in which we operate. This particular project, overseen by Néosylva, is part of a larger 6.6-hectare reforestation initiative designed to enhance biodiversity and bolster the local timber economy.   We’re excited to continue partnering with organizations like VINCI Airports to advance projects that have a positive impact on the environment and contribute to the aviation sector's sustainability objectives. ✈️   #Volotea #VINCIAirports #Néosylva #Nantes #Environment #Sustainability
