Volotea continues to grow in Olbia

After a successful summer on the Costa Smeralda, it expects 5% growth in Olbia by 2025, with almost 1.1 million seats available and 27 operational routes. These figures confirm Olbia Airport as Volotea's main hub in Italy in terms of capacity.

 

► For the winter season, the company will offer 4 active routes to Verona, Venice, Turin and Barcelona.

 

 ► During the Christmas period, two additional connections will be added to Bologna (up to 4 weekly flights) and Milan Bergamo (up to 3 weekly flights).
