Volotea reopens its summer base in Bari
Volotea reopens its summer base at Bari airport and strengthens its offer for the 2026 season with 14 connections to 5 countries. About 242,000 places are available to and from Bari, with a growth of 30% compared to 2025. The Apulian airport is thus confirmed as one of the main Italian airports in the company's network, which in Bari is now the second carrier in terms of number of destinations served.
Greece is one of the protagonists of the summer operation, with eight direct flights to Athens, Kefalonia, Corfu, Heraklion, Mykonos, Preveza, Santorini and Zakynthos.
Alongside the Greek routes, Volotea will also connect Bari to other destinations with Olbia, Split and Bilbao. In addition to these, there are three French routes: Bordeaux, Lyon and Lille, a new destination for the 2026 season.
Volotea's Apulian network also includes the Brindisi-Nantes connection, operating throughout the summer season, which further expands travel opportunities between Puglia and France.
The reopening of the summer base confirms the strategic role of Bari for Volotea. The company aims to serve a traffic basin made up of leisure passengers, Apulian travellers heading towards the Mediterranean and European tourists interested in Puglia, a destination increasingly in demand for its cultural heritage, landscape, sea and food and wine.
The opening of Volotea's summer base at Bari airport dates back to July 2024. With the summer 2026 operation, Bari therefore strengthens its international connectivity and offers Travellers a wider range of destinations for the summer, including Greece, France, Spain, Croatia and Italy.
