Vueling Airlines

Vueling Airlines is a prominent Spanish low-cost carrier based at El Prat de Llobregat in Greater Barcelona. Founded in 2004, the airline initially began its operations with a focus on providing affordable connections within Spain and to major European cities. Over the years, it has grown to become the largest airline in Spain by fleet size and number of destinations.

While the brand is rooted in Spanish aviation history, its ownership structure evolved significantly when it became part of the International Airlines Group (IAG) through a acquisition process completed between 2012 and 2013. Today, Vueling operates as a key subsidiary within the IAG portfolio, which also includes major carriers such as British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus. Its manufacturing and technical maintenance are handled in various locations across Europe through IAG's shared services and collaborations with aerospace manufacturers like Airbus.
