Five-year-old Vueling, the Spanish low fare airline, will formally combine with its rival clickair this Thursday, 9 July, to create what the new Vueling CEO Alex Cruz calls ‘a merger of equals.’

After the union, the 36-month old clickair brand will disappear and Vueling will have Spanish flag carrier Iberia, still a competitor in some routes, as a key shareholder.

The new Vueling (IATA code VY) will operate 35 Airbus A320s (18 aircraft coming from clickair and 17 from Vueling). It will serve a total of 46 airports (all main hub airports and terminals) embracing a total of 92 routes.

Vueling will be a new name to the UK and London Heathrow Airport from mid July, absorbing clickair’s daily flights to Seville, La Coruna, Bilbao, in addition to its summer flights to Vigo.
