Volotea inaugurates the new Cuneo – Olbia connection on Friday 18 June
The new route marks Volotea’s debut at the Cuneo airport, which thus becomes the company’s 23rd Italian airport
Volotea, the low cost airline that connects small and medium-sized cities and European capitals to each other, is heading towards the summer and inaugurates, on Friday 18 June, the new Cuneo – Olbia connection. The connection will have up to 2 weekly frequencies – on Mondays and Fridays – and marks the debut of the Spanish company at the Cuneo-Levaldigi airport: thus the Italian airports of Volotea rise to 23.
“We are happy to inaugurate our first flight at Cuneo Airport: it is a pleasure to be able to include this new airport in our network and we are confident that the new connection to Olbia will be able to win over an increasing number of passengers. Reaching Sardinia will be even easier on board our aircraft that will take off towards the naturalistic beauties of Olbia, an ideal destination for lovers of crystal clear sea, pristine coves and excellent cuisine. We hope that the launch of this new connection represents the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration with the Piedmontese airport “- commented Valeria Rebasti, Country Manager Volotea Italy
“We are delighted to welcome Volotea and the new route to Olbia – he adds Anna Milanese, Director of Cuneo Airport – . May this connection be the beginning of a long collaboration that we hope will grow over time, with the launch of other new destinations in the network ”.
Volotea, since last year, has implemented measures to ensure hygiene and safety for its passengers and its employees. In fact, the company has updated its procedures, following international, local and sector regulations, as well as collaborating with its network of airports on risk management procedures. Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that the Volotea offer for the coming months is characterized by the greatest flexibility: it is, in fact, possible to change your programs up to a week before departure, without any cost for changing flights. But not only that, the low-cost has also activated a Covid-19 coverage: passengers who test positive in a PCR test, will be able to request a full refund of the booking, including taxes, for themselves and for all passengers included in the same booking, up to 14 days before the flight.
From this year, Volotea has become a 100% Airbus company: the carrier’s summer fleet consists of 20 Airbus A320s and 20 Airbus A319s, aircraft with greater capacity and a longer flight range. By becoming a company with a fleet of only Airbuses, Volotea can benefit from multiple strategic and operational advantages as well as becoming more cost-effective, the updated fleet will also be more environmentally friendly. In fact, thanks to its greater transport capacity and more efficient engines, the new aircraft will significantly reduce the company’s carbon footprint per passenger.
All Volotea routes are available on the website www.volotea.com and in travel agencies.
