LONDON – Spanish low-cost carrier Volotea (V7) is gearing up to be one of the main protagonists of summer 2021 with cutting-edge managerial choices that demonstrate the carrier’s development toward being a point of reference in Italy and beyond.
According to Valeria Rebasti, Commercial Country Manager Italy & Southeastern Europe of V7, “one of the company’s strengths was to entirely change its network from international to domestic, managing to avoid economic losses and totaling one of the greatest load factors in the period of the pandemic.”
Volotea has bases in Greece, Spain, Italy, and France, with the latter two serving as the carrier’s strong points.

For the Short Haul
Owned by Poste Italiane, the national postal service of Italy, the airline has a fleet of Boeing 737-400(F) and ATR72-500(F) aircraft and primarily operates overnight cargo services around Italy.
Given that there is very little in the way of scheduled passenger service between FCO and TLV at the moment, it will be interesting to see if M4 maintains the route as the pandemic recedes and available cargo hold space increases as passenger flights again heavily connect the cities.

This contrasts with the adjusted profit of €19m (US$23m) the airline generated in 2019. Austrian endured a pandemic-related 79% decrease in the number of passengers flying. This translated to 3.1 million passengers which abruptly halted the steep growth of passenger volume the airline had enjoyed prior to the pandemic.
“Naturally, the standstill in flight operations in 2020 also led to a standstill in our accounts” explains Austrian Airlines CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech. “This crisis catapulted us from a financially stable situation to the most challenging time in the history of aviation.
