Spanish lowcost carrier Vueling is raising frequency to twice daily on the Heathrow-Bilbao route this winter. The airline will offer more than 100,000 seats from October 30 in response to rising demand, particularly from business travellers.
The increased frequency follows seven years of service between London and Bilbao. Chief executive Alex Cruz said: “We are responding to increased demand from passengers in both the leisure and business markets.
“The new schedule enables business executives to make convenient day return trips, and leisure visitors can enjoy comfortable long weekend breaks.” Vueling has seen more demand from regular business travellers to the burgeoning Spanish economic centre.
“This sector is increasingly important for Vueling and we plan to create additional business focused products to join our existing portfolios of services,” said Cruz.
