About

Vueling is Spain's largest low-cost carrier and a significant player in southern European aviation. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Barcelona, Vueling operates approximately 150 aircraft serving over 100 destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

The airline is part of International Airlines Group (IAG), the same holding company that owns British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus. This connection provides Vueling passengers access to the Avios loyalty currency shared across IAG carriers. Despite being a low-cost carrier, Vueling offers a more passenger-friendly approach than some ultra-low-cost competitors, with in-seat USB and AC power on many aircraft.

Vueling is not a member of a formal airline alliance but benefits from codeshare agreements with IAG partner airlines and participates in the Avios loyalty ecosystem.
