New airline Fly2Galicia to link Spain's northwestern region with Europe
The northwestern Spanish region of Galicia will regain some of its international connectivity thanks to the launch of Fly2Galicia, a new budget airline that will operate from Santiago de Compostela in the coming months.
Fly2Galicia, a budget airline, will soon provide more international connectivity to Spain's northwestern region of Galicia. Based at Santiago de Compostela's Rosalía de Castro Airport, the airline aims to begin operations in just three and a half months. By the following summer, Fly2Galicia will offer up to eight destinations with 17 weekly frequencies, including five international stops such as Brussels, Prague, Munich, Venice, and Milan, as well as domestic destinations like Zaragoza, Alicante, and Granada.
The inaugural flight is set for December 1st, 2026, departing from Santiago to Zaragoza. Tickets for domestic routes will start at just €19, while flights to Milan and Brussels will begin at €39, and those to Munich, Prague, and Venice will start at €49. Passengers can expect to receive two pieces of hand luggage for the lowest fare, totaling a cabin bag weighing eight kilos and one personal item.
The airline will initially operate with Airbus A320 models, although it had previously planned to use Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Fly2Galicia's launch could further improve Galicia's connectivity, which has faced significant reductions in flight options due to Ryanair's closure of its aircraft base at Santiago airport and other factors.
The airline is spearheaded by Gueorgui Iavorov Popov, who has previously attempted a regional ticket-sales venture.
