The airline Volotea celebrates a new milestone: the transport of its 70 millionth passenger. The event, held at Marseille airport, featured the lucky passenger Marc Kuhm, chief operating officer of a multinational logistics and e-commerce company, who was awarded a year of free flights offered by the company. Kuhm was traveling on flight V72763 from Marseille to Strasbourg, a route that was particularly popular during the Christmas season because of the possibility of reaching Strasbourg's famous Christmas markets, renowned throughout Europe. To celebrate the occasion, Volotea transformed the boarding gate into a festive Christmas market, entertaining passengers with themed activities and special moments.
