As of summer 2016, Spanish low-cost airline Vueling will start carrying passengers from/to Barcelona to/from Vilnius. The airline will benefit from financial assistance offered by the aviation route incentive programme, created by the Lithuanian Airports, cites LETA/ELTA.

Vueling has already launched the ticket sales for flights starting from late June, 2016: a trip from Vilnius to Barcelona will cost from EUR 49.99. The flights are scheduled once in a week, on Wednesdays.

According to Arturas Stankevicius, head of the Vilnius International Airport, flights from Vilnius to Barcelona are currently conducted by two low-cost airlines, Wizz Air and Ryanair. In 2014, they both carried over 75,000 passengers to this city in Spain. In the eight months of 2015, compared to the same period a year ago, the number of travellers to Barcelona has grown by 16.7 percent.

Air connection with Spain from Lithuania is constantly improving. There are direct flights from the Vilnius Airport to Madrid, from Kaunas – to Alicante and Palma de Mallorca.

Vueling was founded in July, 2004 with two Airbus A320s and four routes. Ten years later, Vueling is operating on 365 routes to over 160 cities in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with a fleet of more than 100 aircraft and 22 operating bases.
