Volotea (V7, Barcelona El Prat) will open a new base at Montpellier in France in early November 2026. The Spanish low-cost carrier plans to station a single A320-200 out of the French airport. The base will allow it to augment the current network out of Montpellier with four new destinations: Bordeaux Mérignac, Madrid Barajas, Tenerife Sur, and Lanzarote. Volotea is currently the second-largest operator at Montpellier, with a 23.2% market share by scheduled capacity, trailing Transavia France. The Spanish airline proffers over 5,100 weekly seats out of the airport using aircraft based elsewhere.
