Low-cost airline Vueling announced that starting in summer 2023 it will operate flights to seven new routes from Bilbao Airport (BIO), its third largest hub in Spain. For this, it will base a seventh Airbus A320 aircraft there from 1 July.
With the new additions, the company will have a network of 32 destinations from the air terminal serving the Basque Country’s most populous city.
