BARCELONA – Volotea has celebrated transporting 70 million passengers across its network. This significant milestone highlights Volotea’s achievements as Europe’s fastest-growing airline, and its commitment to strengthening regional connectivity throughout the continent.

Volotea celebrated its 70 millionth passenger milestone in Marseille, awarding Marc Kuhm – an operations manager at a global logistics and e-commerce company – a year of free flights with the airline. Kuhm was traveling on flight V72763, Volotea’s Marseille-Strasbourg route, which holds special significance during the festive season by connecting passengers to Strasbourg’s iconic Christmas markets and celebrations. Inspired by the seasonal charm of the route, the airline celebrated the milestone with a festive Christmas market set up at the boarding gate, featuring various activities designed to engage passengers departing from Marseille.

“We are very excited to achieve this historical milestone, 70 million passengers! We would’ve only dreamed of it 12 years ago, when we started Volotea. I want to thank every single one of our clients who have given us their confidence over this time, especially our core Megavolotea clients (which will soon be 1 million). And especially recognize the great work of all our team and crews, providing great travel experiences to our clients, connecting all the small and midsize cities in Europe. We will keep doing so for many million passengers in the future,” said Carlos Muñoz, Founder and CEO of Volotea.

Volotea’s commitment to enhancing the passenger experience has been recognized through numerous aviation and travel industry awards. In 2024, the airline received a four-star rating from Skytrax, a global airline rating organization, and was named “Best Low-Cost Airline in Europe” at its World Airline Awards, widely referred to as “the Oscars of the aviation industry,” an accolade it also received in 2023. The airline has also earned consecutive wins as “Europe’s Leading Low-Cost Airline” at the World Travel Awards in 2021, 2022, and 2024. These achievements reflect Volotea’s record-high customer satisfaction levels, demonstrated by a year-to-date Net Promoter Score (NPS) – a key measure of customer loyalty and satisfaction – of 38 points, along with recommendation rates exceeding 90% among members of the company’s Megavolotea program.
