Volotea Turns Up the Tuscan Charm with 4 New Routes from Florence

Volotea Turns Up the Tuscan Charm with 4 New Routes from Florence

Pack your bags and your best “ciao bella,” because Florence is about to get busier than a gelato shop in July. Volotea has announced four shiny new routes launching in September 2026, connecting the Renaissance city to Seville, Valencia, Strasbourg, and Berlin — and honestly, your weekend getaway options just quadrupled.

The airline isn’t stopping there. To keep up with all this jet-setting, Volotea is basing a second aircraft at Florence’s Amerigo Vespucci Airport — because apparently, one plane just wasn’t enough for all the art lovers, foodies, and flamenco fans lining up to explore.

Four new ways to escape (or arrive in) Florence

From September 21–23, 2026, you’ll be able to hop on one of these new European connections:

• Seville – Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (perfect for a long weekend of tapas and sunshine).
• Strasbourg – Wednesdays and Sundays (ideal for Christmas markets or an extra dose of French charm).
• Berlin – Wednesdays and Sundays (for those who think “Renaissance” should include techno and street art).
• Valencia – Tuesdays and Saturdays (because who can say no to paella and palm trees?).

With these new additions, Florence will now boast 16 direct destinations across Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and even the Czech Republic — basically, all the countries you’ve been promising to visit “one day.”

A boost for Florence’s skies — and its people

Volotea isn’t just flying high; it’s helping Florence’s local economy take off too. The arrival of a second aircraft means more jobs for airport staff and ground operations teams, proving that sometimes the best way to create opportunities is literally to add wings.

In 2025 alone, Volotea operated around 2,000 flights from Florence, carrying more than 275,000 passengers with an impressive 94% load factor (translation: those seats were full) and 85% punctuality (because nothing ruins a Tuscan holiday like a late departure).

It’s clear that Volotea is doing something right — perhaps offering the perfect blend of affordability, accessibility, and espresso-fueled enthusiasm.

A bigger airport on the horizon

Of course, with all this new activity, talk of expansion is back on the radar. Toscana Aeroporti — the company managing Florence’s airport — is waiting on final environmental approval for its long-awaited expansion project (the mysterious-sounding VIA decree).

According to President Marco Carrai, they’re ready to move forward as soon as the green light flashes, promising to follow all environmental conditions to the letter. In short: progress is coming, but responsibly — because even Tuscany’s skies deserve a little dolce vita balance.

Florence: now closer to everywhere

For travelers, this is a win-win situation. Whether you fancy flamenco in Seville, sangria in Valencia, strudel in Berlin, or a romantic riverside walk in Strasbourg, Florence will soon be your new favorite launchpad.

And for those flying into Florence? Prepare for more choices, better schedules, and easier connections to the city’s treasures — from Michelangelo’s David to a Negroni at a rooftop bar with views of the Duomo.

The final word

Volotea’s new routes aren’t just flights; they’re invitations — to wander, to explore, and to trade routine for Renaissance. Florence has always been a city that inspires, and now it’s inspiring even more takeoffs.

So mark your calendars for September 2026 — when Volotea officially transforms Florence from a must-see city into a must-fly hub.

Because really, who wouldn’t want to start their day under the Tuscan sun and end it with tapas in Seville or techno in Berlin?

That’s amore — with boarding passes included. So what are you waiting for? Book your next flight today!
