A few more Spanair aircraft have joined the Vueling fleet. Im not ure if any more are due but its a possibility. They have also now leased an A319 off Air Berlin and got one of Air Berlin too.

Would be nice to see vueling more in the UK market

Vueling have announced new route from Malaga to Cardiff from 2nd April 2013 which will be operated by an A320 aircraft.

Heard also they have a 'large' order coming up shortly as well.

With all the Spanish links that Abertis have, is there no rumour of Vuelling coming to BFS? If they have survived Cardiff I'm sure they can manage in Belfast.

Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like that and don't Cardiff Airport know it. easyjet is a customer at both Luton & Belfast Int but not Cardiff unless the weather is poor.

According to a recent find the Palma de Mallorca route from Cardiff Airport is still under evaluation. However regardless of this there will be a 35% increase in the number of seats offered from Cardiff Airport in Summer 2013 compared to this year.

Taken from the FlightCheck book i bought back earlier this month:

Low cost carrier Vueling has reiterated that it will make a long anticipated narrowbody order by the end of the summer.

Chief Executive officer Alex Cruz, speaking to analysists during a second quarter results call on 1st August said ''Our project continues. We are in phase three of out evaluation. We are on track and we hope to make a decision after the summer, maybe in September or October depending on the date of our board meeting.''

The Barcelona based airline has added 14 Airbus A320 family jets to its operation since the demise of Spanair earlier this year, taking its fleet to 55 A320's and three A319's. The majority of the new additions are on three year operating leases.

Vueling will end of the summer with a total fleet of 60 aircraft, but may need to renew its enture fleet at the beginning of 2015.

''We are pleased with data and proposals submitted by the three vendors Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier and we are still in the negotiation phase. It is an important project for Vueling'' says Cruz.

Barcelona is a nice city, but there are plenty of other cities in Europe which are both substantial and pleasant to visit.
Is it now becoming overserved in the European short haul market, and at risk of being a victim of over-hype if/when the bubble bursts ?

@DavidJohnson

worth discussion indeed.

Two points I'd like to throw in:
1) Many more Spanish people live now abroad than a few years ago (ever heard Spanish speakers outside London 5 years ago? Walk through the likes of Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester now...) due to the poor employment prospects in their home country. So it's not only BCN tourists / business visitors using these flights.
2) Above point will not justify this serious amount of additional capacity - agreed. So thinking about it earlier, I felt most comfortably with taking the view that this is a massive muscle exercise by IB&Co as owners of Vueling to defend their home turf against FR and EZY, the likes of 4U/LH from Germany, etc.
