During the summer period, Volotea will operate its network with a fleet of 41 aircraft (up from 36 in summer 2019).In fact, the carrier recently announced the arrival of 6 additional Airbus A320s, including 3 stand-by aircraft that will ensure operational integrity.

Following the expansion of its fleet, Volotea will enrich its offerings, thanks to the increased capacity of the new aircraft and their wider flight radius. In terms of volume, it will increase seat capacity by about 40% compared to 2019, when its offer was 8 million seats. The airline expects to carry between 9 and 9.5 million passengers this year, about 32% more than its all-time high in 2019, when 7.6 million passengers were carried.
Since the beginning of its operations, Volotea has worked to make its flights more eco-efficient and minimize emissions. Since 2012, it has implemented more than 50 sustainability-driven actions, thanks to which it has reduced its carbon footprint per passenger kilometer by more than 41%. In 2022, the airline will introduce sustainable fuels to power its aircraft and will work with the manufacturing and industrial sectors so that these fuels-currently difficult to access-can be developed and deployed on a large scale as soon as possible.
