Vueling returns to Göteborg Landvetter this summer with non-stop service to Barcelona

The Spanish carrier Vueling Airlines sees opportunities in the Swedish market and will relaunch its route between Barcelona and Göteborg Landvetter Airport in mid-June with two weekly departures.

The Spanish low-cost carrier Vueling Airlines, part of International Airlines Group (IAG), is returning to Gothenburg and Göteborg Landvetter after a suspension of service autumn 2019. Vueling will resume service to the capital of Catalonia starting June 11 with two weekly flights on Fridays and Sundays.

Spain is a popular tourist destination from Sweden, and a large number of Swedes who live abroad reside there.

Vueling is currently the only carrier to offer this route, and at present there is no service to Spain from Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT). Connecting flights from Vueling’s hub, Barcelona International Airport – El Prat (BCN), enable Swedish travellers to reach more than 15 destinations in Spain.

The airline started operations in Sweden 2012. In addition to the route from Göteborg Landvetter Airport to be launched in June, Vueling offers daily non-stop service from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Barcelona.

Vueling Airline’s main priority will continue to be the application of the highest safety and hygiene standards on all flights, following the recommendations established by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

For further information about the measures Swedavia has implemented for safe travel, see for example: www.swedavia.com/landvetter/before-your-journey.

Swedavia has been conducting ambitious sustainability work for many years, with the goal that all of the ten airports have zero fossil carbon dioxide emissions from their own operations by the end of 2020. Swedavia also works actively to promote the industry’s transition to biofuel and has the goal that five per cent of all fuel used to refuel aircraft at Swedish airports shall be fossil-free by 2025.

Swedavia’s Year-End Report 2020: Historic loss due to pandemic – despite early, forceful measures

Swedavia’s Year-End Report for 2020 is dominated by the historic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on air travel and Swedavia’s own operations. Swedavia entered the crisis with a good financial position and carried out drastic measures, but is nonetheless reporting a pre-tax loss of almost 1.7 billion Swedish kronor. The pandemic has also dominated the start of 2021, with very low passenger levels.

Just before the end of last year, Swedavia became one of the first airport operators in the world to have the operations it runs under its own management at its ten airports be fossil-free. The company notes this milestone in its Annual and Sustainability Report 2020. Swedavia is now extending that work to supporting other companies and organisations at its airports in transforming their operation
