Volotea is continuing its development at its new base in Lyon airport with the addition of 10 new routes in 2020 including twice-weekly services to Athens, Bilbao, Bari, Caen, Faro and Malaga.
Also introduced will be weekly services to Heraklion and Santorini, a thrice-weekly service to Corfu; as well as a four times weekly service to Venice.
The airline started its operations in Lyon in April 2018 and during that time has carried 152,600 passengers.
It is set to open its sixth base in France during the spring of 2020. To support the operations, an Airbus A319 will be based at the airport, so the airline will create 25 local jobs for the operations.
This new base will allow Volotea to continue its growth in Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport. Volotea offers more than 300,000 seats in 2020, up 142% year-on-year.
Carlos Muñoz, Founder and CEO of Volotea, said: "We are very pleased to strengthen the presence of Volotea in France and to open next year our 6th French base in Lyon.
"This new base allows us to accelerate our development at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport with 10 new destinations, additional offers for travellers from Lyon and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. We will create 25 local jobs and our recruitment will start shortly in Lyon."
