Cardiff Airport will be rebranded and refreshed ahead of the 2013 summer season, Vueling, has announced a new direct route between the Welsh capital and Malaga, commencing April 2nd 2013.
Vueling started operations from Cardiff earlier this year with direct flights to Barcelona, Palma and Alicante, operated by Airbus A320 aircraft for the summer season.
“We have been delighted with the success of our Cardiff routes,” said Vueling CEO Alex Cruz. “The introduction of Malaga to our Cardiff network underlines our faith in this regional airport and further demonstrates our commitment to deliver low fares in the UK beyond London.”
“We are very pleased to meet Wales’ need for flights to Spain with the return of Vueling to Cardiff Airport. The airline’s quality has been well received by our market,” said Steve Hodgetts, Commercial Director at Cardiff Airport. “The new service to Malaga is particularly welcome as it’s a highly desired destination for travellers from South Wales and it’s great that it’s to be provided by the Airline of the Year.”
Last week Vueling won four of the eight Budgie Awards, presented by the World Low Cost Airlines Congress. Besides the main distinction as Best Airline of the Year, the company also picked up the award for the Best Business Traveller Offering, Best Sales & Distribution Strategy and Best Customer Loyalty Scheme. From 29 September to 02 October, Vueling will be participating at the 18th World Route Development Forum, this year being hosted by Abu Dhabi, UAE at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
