Volotea opens new base in Ancona, posts profit increase
On July 28, 2026, Pan-European regional low-cost carrier Volotea announced that it will open a new base at Raffaello Sanzio Marche Airport (AOI), in Ancona, on Italy’s Adriatic coast, from December 2026.
Ancona, which will create 30 new direct jobs locally, will become Volotea’s 22nd base in Europe, although the carrier has served the airport from some of its other bases since 2012.
Volotea currently flies to Ancona from three other airports in Italy, Catania (CTA), and Palermo (PMO), on the island of Sicily, and Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) in Sardinia. It also connects the capital of Marche to three international destinations: Paris-Orly (ORY), Barcelona (BCN), and Madrid (MAD). Volotea will continue to operate to these destinations when the new base is operative.
What will be new, however, is that an Airbus A320 aircraft will be permanently based in Ancona.
One week prior to the announcement, the Barcelona-based airline posted its 2025 full year results, which showed an 18% year-on-year EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) improvement, from €33.5 million to €47.4 million, on revenue of €818 million.
