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.
Galicia, a northwestern Spanish region, is set to regain some of its international connectivity with the launch of Fly2Galicia, a new budget airline. The airline, based at Rosalía de Castro Airport in Santiago de Compostela, will commence operations in three and a half months and offer flights to up to eight destinations with 17 weekly frequencies.
Among the international destinations, there will be five options: Brussels, Prague, Munich, Venice, and Milan, while three will be domestic: Zaragoza, Alicante, and Granada. The inaugural flight will depart Santiago for Zaragoza on December 1st, 2026, with two other international flights scheduled for the same day. Fly2Galicia’s ticket prices range from €19 for domestic routes to €49 for flights to Milan, Brussels, Munich, Prague, and Venice.
The airline assures passengers that the lowest fare includes two pieces of hand luggage, each weighing up to eight kilos. Despite initial plans to use a Boeing 737-800, the airline will initially operate Airbus A320 models. The new airline is expected to generate 25 direct jobs at launch and further develop the project until 2027.
Galicia, part of what’s known as "Green Spain," has experienced significant flight reductions in the past two years due to Ryanair's closure of its aircraft base at Santiago airport and its withdrawal from Vigo. The Galician press has raised concerns about the project's viability, as it is spearheaded by an unknown figure, Gueorgui Iavorov Popov.
