Montpellier Mediterranean Airport expands routes with Volotea base

Montpellier Mediterranean Airport is expanding its winter flight offerings, reaching a record 26 destinations for the season. A key development is the establishment of a permanent operational base for the Spanish airline Volotea, which includes the stationing of an Airbus A320 at the airport.

New routes include direct flights to Tenerife starting November 8, with a second connection to Lanzarote opening on December 19 for the Christmas holiday season. Volotea will also resume service to Madrid twice weekly starting November 6, and will operate two flights per week to Bordeaux. Additionally, Transavia will maintain its weekly Monday service to Djerba, Tunisia.

Emmanuel Brehmer, chairman of Montpellier Mediterranean Airport, noted that while the airline's increased presence marks a new chapter for regional connectivity, further destinations are being considered for the summer 2027 program.
