IAG's Vueling is the second most punctual low-cost airline in Europe this April.....

Vueling recorded an 83.08% punctuality rate of flights operated in April, according to the latest figures published by aviation consultancy group Cirium  

The airline operated the second highest number of flights out of all airlines in the top ten of Europe 

Vueling is also within the list of the top ten most punctual low-cost airlines worldwide, one of only three European airlines which made the list 

 

Vueling, part of IAG, was the second most punctual low-cost airline in Europe for April 2023, with an index of 83.08% across more than 19,300 flights operated, according to Cirium, the global consultancy specialised in aviation analysis.  

The recent report "The On-Time Performance Review" places Vueling in sixth place in the ranking of European airline punctuality and within the list of the top ten most punctual low-cost airlines worldwide.  

According to Oliver Iffert, Chief Operations Officer at Vueling, "these results reflect our commitment to excellence across all our operations and the efforts of everyone involved with Vueling.”  

Cirium's punctuality reports for airlines and airports is the oldest analysis of its kind in the industry, having started in 2008. The analysis is based on flight data from over 600 sources of real-time flight information, with a board of independent advisors, ensuring an accurate and balanced view of airlines' punctuality analysis.  

The company continues to remain high on punctuality rankings after 2022, when it was recognised by Cirium as the second most punctual 'low cost' airline in Europe throughout the year.

Vueling, part of IAG, is one of the main low-cost airlines in Europe and a key player in connections with Spain. In addition, Vueling is also a leading brand at the Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat airport, and in other important markets such as the city of Bilbao as well as the market between the mainland and the Balearic and Canary Islands.

Vueling and Cirium agree deal for Cirium Sky, to improve airline operational performance

Vueling, an airline which forms part of IAG (International Airlines Group), has signed a landmark deal with Cirium, the aviation analytics company, to improve airline operational efficiencies through the Cirium Sky managed data warehouse and analytics solution.

The multi-year deal provides Vueling, with access to Cirium’s new data aviation warehouse and analytics capability.

This partnership will allow the airline to gain a unique insight from over 25 operational factors and ultimately provide a best-in-traveller experience.

Cirium Sky will enable more effective flight planning, especially around disruption, to minimize delays for its customers.

Jeremy Bowen, Cirium CEO, said: “Our aviation data warehouse, Cirium Sky, is critical in supporting Vueling’s digital transformation initiatives and will enable the airline to improve flight operations, reduce travel delays and set the stage for operational excellence.”


Vueling is viewed by Cirium as the agile and innovative leader in IAG thanks to the implementation of several initiatives, including Vueling Transform, to unlock its full potential through digitization and low-cost leadership.

Oliver Iffert, Vueling's Chief Operations Officer, said: “Coming out of the pandemic, Vueling is emerging even more efficient and competitive as we prioritize actionable insights backed by a wealth of data and context.”

“Data is key to assessing our operations and identifying ways to provide a passenger experience that stands out.”

“Using Cirium Sky, Vueling can plan flights more effectively and analyze flight delays based on accurate data. We will, as a result, drive a reduction in delays and minimize disruptions.”

Spanish airline Vueling promotes use of sustainable fuel with Avikor

Vueling promotes the use of biofuel with the Avikor system, owned by Exolum

The airline integrates this service into the ticket purchasing process to promote the use of this type of fuel, which reduces CO2 emissions by up to 80%

The Spanish airline Vueling, which forms part of IAG, promotes the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) with the Avikor system, owned by Exolum, Europe's leading logistics company of liquid products.

Through the Avikor service integrated to the ticket purchasing process, Vueling offers its passengers the possibility to make a small contribution on a voluntary basis, so that SAF is supplied into the airport’s refuelling system on the day of each flight, replacing the traditional kerosene.

This process aims to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80% with this fuel becoming one of the main alternatives to decarbonise the aviation sector.

In addition, the more members of the flight contribute, the more Vueling will compensate towards a greener flight, doubling the same amount of contributions made by passengers using this service.

Franc Sanmartí, Director of Sustainability and Government Affairs at Vueling, says:  "This service will allow Vueling to continue to offer competitive prices and accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral and greener transport".

Andrés Suarez, Exolum's Global Director of Strategy and Innovation, says: "Avikor provides the possibility of sustainable travel by reducing the CO2 footprint of each flight and facilitating access to the SAF for all passengers who wish to do so”.

This service is already available for bookings through the Vueling app or by accessing the Vueling website from mobile devices. The desktop version will be available in early July.

This agreement is part of the objectives set out in the Flightpath Net Zero programme, through which the airline is committed to achieving zero net CO2 emissions by 2050.

Passengers using this service will receive a certificate accrediting the volume of sustainable fuel supplied with their contribution and the CO2 emissions avoided in accordance with a process certified by AENOR as an independent entity.


A suitable fuel for today's aircraft engines


Sustainable fuel is a fuel made from organic waste (agricultural or forestry waste, urban waste, plastics, recycled oils, etc.). This way, PBS manufacturing and its subsequent use in aviation becomes an outstanding example of circular economy. Its chemical composition is similar to traditional kerosene and it can be blended and used in the aircraft engine without any adaptation.

Current production of sustainable fuel is less than 0.01% of global aviation consumption and the price of this type of fuel is 3 to 5 times higher than traditional fuel. This initiative will help to use more sustainable fuel, increasing its production and achieving a lower cost in the future. 2

10% of sustainable flights by 2030


IAG, the group to which Vueling belongs, has become the first airline group in Europe to commit with 10% of flight operations using sustainable aviation fuel by 2030.

Exolum is Europe's leading liquid bulk logistics company and one of the world's leading companies. Its core business is the transport and storage of a wide range of bulk liquids, especially refined products, chemicals and biofuels, in a sustainable and efficient manner. It also operates in new sectors, such as eco-fuels, the circular economy and the development of new energy vectors such as hydrogen, with the aim of making its corporate purpose a reality: to create innovative solutions to improve the world.

To this end, the company has created the Avikor platform, which offers individuals and companies the opportunity to fly sustainably by reducing their flight emissions using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Our goal at BitPay is to make the acceptance of cryptocurrencies a seamless process and increase its adoption, as we believe that cryptocurrencies are the future of payments."
