This week, we were pleased to announce the strengthening of our equity base during a joint press conference held in Athens with our Founder and CEO, Carlos Muñoz, AEGEAN Chairman Eftichios Vassilakis, and AEGEAN CEO Dimitrios Gerogiannis. At the event, we shared the news of a capital injection of up to €100 million, which includes Aegean Airlines acquiring a 13% stake in our company. The first phase of this investment, totaling €50 million, has been completed, with €25 million contributed by AEGEAN and €25 million from our existing investors. There is also a potential second phase of up to €50 million, which could take place in early 2025. 💼 This capital injection marks a significant financial milestone for us, reinforcing our ability to continue growing and expanding our operations. It strengthens our strategic and financial position, enabling us to respond to evolving market dynamics and seize new opportunities. 📈 This equity investment comes alongside the expansion of our commercial joint venture with AEGEAN, focusing on increasing codeshare agreements and optimizing services, particularly in Greece, France, Italy, and Spain. This partnership will enhance connectivity, increase seating capacity, and introduce new international routes. ✈️ AEGEAN’s entry into our shareholder base underscores the alignment of our values and strategic goals. While we will remain fully independent as companies, together, we are committed to delivering improved services and expanding our reach across Europe. 🌍 We sincerely thank AEGEAN for their trust and partnership and are excited to embark on this new phase of growth and collaboration.

Yesterday, we were proud to inaugurate our 10th French base at Rodez-Aveyron Airport! We celebrated this milestone with a special event attended by Gilles GOSSELIN, our France Country Manager; Arnaud VIALA, President of the Department of Aveyron; Christian Teyssèdre, Mayor of Rodez Agglomération; Christian Tieulié, President of SAEML Air 12 (airport management); vincent Meneghetti, General Director and CEO of Rodez-Aveyron Airport, regional representatives, our fantastic crew, and local media. From this new base, where we have stationed an Airbus A319 aircraft, we’ll operate the PSO Route to Paris Orly, offering 60,000 seats across 380 flights through December 2024. Looking ahead to 2025, we plan to expand this to 178,000 seats across approximately 1,140 flights. ✈️ Our presence in the Occitania region dates back to 2012, and this new base is our second in the region after Toulouse. We’re now operating out of four airports in Occitania—Montpellier, Perpignan, Rodez-Aveyron, and Toulouse—highlighting our commitment to boosting the local economy and enhancing connectivity between this dynamic region and the rest of France and Europe. We thank the residents of Rodez for their warm welcome and look forward to building strong connections and earning their trust. A special thank you also to the team at Aéroport de Rodez-Aveyron for their invaluable support in launching our operations.

Great initiatives arise from taking the initiative, and we're proud to see this proactive spirit reflected in our cabin crew, who saw an opportunity to reduce their waste impact by replacing their use of single-use paper cups during their flights with reusable ones. With our support, they have put this project into motion and are already using the new cups this summer.🥤🔄 This small yet impactful step aligns with our ongoing commitment to integrating sustainable practices into our operations, and we're proud to champion projects from all teams and departments that help reduce our environmental impact. Thank you to our cabin crew leadership team, including Selene Bongiovanni and Clément Laine, for driving this effort and our cabin crew for their dedication and enthusiasm. 👏 #Volotea #WasteReduction #SustainablePractices #PositiveChange

Over the last ten years, we've proudly sponsored French navigator and engineer Benoit Marie from Nantes. Benoît specializes in foiling boats and has won major international races, including the Mini Transat in 2013 and Moth International as a Double French champion in 2018. This year, we're very happy to support Benoît and his teammate, Caroline Boule, a French and Polish engineer and scientist who joined his team in 2023. ⛵🌍 Benoît and Caroline are an excellent and complementary team. In the last year, they have achieved many milestones together, including Caroline becoming the first woman to cross the Atlantic in a fully foiled boat and, most recently, breaking the 24-hour record for the longest distance in a Mini boat—the first woman to achieve this! 👏🏅 Foiling boats use underwater wings to lift their hulls out of the water, reducing drag and increasing speed and efficiency. The technology behind foils, similar to how aircraft wings generate lift, demonstrates a fascinating link between sailing and aviation and why we have a special connection to this project. 🌊✈️ We admire how Benoît and Caroline push the boundaries in their field and look forward to the rest of their 2024 racing season. We also can't wait to see what they have in store for 2025 and beyond, including Benoît taking on the Mini Transat again, developments on a new boat, where they continue to advance the field of foils and master the art of flying over the seas. 🚀🌟 Photo Credit: Manon Le Guen #Volotea #BenoitMarie #CarolineBoule #MiniTransat #FoilBoats #Nantes #Sailing #AviationTechnology #MarineEngineering
