Volotea's new operational base in Rodez inaugurated

The company's destinations from Paris Orly are: Ancona, Bilbao, Genoa, Lourdes, Olbia, Rodez, Turin (for the Christmas period) and Verona
Volotea today inaugurated its new operational base in Rodez, France. This is the tenth French base for the carrier, one of the fastest-expanding airlines in Europe, which will help create more than 30 new jobs at Rodez-Aveyron Airport.
 
The opening of the base follows the award of the tender to operate the Paris Orly-Rodez Aveyron route under territorial continuity. Thanks to this service, eligible citizens will be able to take advantage of 2 flights a day from Monday to Friday and one flight on Sunday, all at a discounted rate. The flights will be operated with Airbus A319, and a total of 178,000 seats will be available by 2025.
 
This new route to Rodez further expands the offer of destinations reachable with Volotea from Paris Orly airport, which already includes cities such as Ancona, Bilbao, Genoa, Olbia, Turin (during the Christmas period), Verona and Lourdes, also served by the carrier under territorial continuity.
