Volotea Bilbao Prague route launches
Volotea has launched a new direct link between Bilbao and Prague, opening fresh options for short-haul travel across Central Europe.
The Volotea Bilbao Prague route began service on November 7, 2025, when the airline operated an inaugural departure from Bilbao Airport using an Airbus A320. The twice-weekly schedule aims to give both leisure and business travelers a straightforward option between northern Spain and the Czech capital, with Prague Airport officials on hand to welcome the arrival.
Volotea’s move adds capacity and seasonal resilience to a corridor that previously relied on indirect connections. The airline is pitching the new link as convenient for weekend city breaks, regional tourism and business trips, while Bilbao benefits from improved access to Central Europe.
Why the Volotea Bilbao Prague route matters
Low-cost carriers (LCCs) across Europe have been reopening underserved city pairs and focusing on secondary markets; Volotea’s latest route fits that pattern. By using narrowbody jets such as the Airbus A320, operators can serve thinner city pairs profitably while offering competitive fares and flexible frequencies that appeal to younger travelers and budget-conscious business flyers.
- Route: Volotea Bilbao Prague route — twice-weekly direct service starting 7 November 2025.
- Aircraft: Airbus A320 used on the inaugural flight out of Bilbao Airport.
- Operator: Volotea; target markets include leisure tourists and short-haul business passengers.
- Impact: Expected to boost tourism links and secondary-market connectivity between Spain and the Czech Republic.
For Bilbao, the new link reinforces the airport’s efforts to expand its European network. For Prague, welcoming another direct service helps diversify inbound options and supports visitor growth outside traditional hub connections. Expect the route to be marketed seasonally and assessed for frequency changes if demand grows.
