As a lover of aviation, I appreciate how many cool plane shots are in Pluribus. Even in a world that is over as we know it, it's nice to know the OTHERS still utilize planes, lol.

BRAVO, VINCE!!

Airbus A320 Vueling

Registration: EC-LVO Type: A320-214 Engines: 2 × CFMI CFM56-5B4/3 Serial Number: 5533 First flight: Mar 26, 2013

In 2004, an aircraft bearing the mysterious name Vueling took off from the runway of Barcelona's El Prat Airport. Few could have predicted then that this Spanish airline would become one of Europe's largest low-cost carriers within two decades.

Starting with just two aircraft, the company focused exclusively on domestic Spanish routes, offering an alternative to Iberia's expensive flights. The strategy proved flawless: the Spanish market was ripe for the democratization of air travel. In less than five years, by early 2009, Vueling's fleet had grown to 25 aircraft. That year, the company completed its merger with competitor Clickair, thereby doubling its fleet and expanding its route network far beyond the Iberian Peninsula.

Joining the International Airlines Group (IAG) holding in 2013, which includes British Airways and Iberia, provided Vueling with access to powerful infrastructure and global resources while allowing it to maintain operational independence and a distinctive brand identity. As an IAG subsidiary, Vueling functions as a short- and medium-haul carrier within the larger global network. It employs a hybrid budget airline model that combines low-cost pricing with services characteristic of traditional airlines.

Vueling connects more than 130 destinations, operating a fleet of 142 Airbus A320 family aircraft. Using a single aircraft type certainly has its advantages. However, in changing conditions, it has become wiser to diversify the fleet composition, and in 2026 the company expects delivery of its first Boeing 737 MAX 200 aircraft.

The mysterious name Vueling was born from wordplay: the Spanish "vuelo" (flight) merged with the English suffix "-ing," creating a dynamic neologism symbolizing movement.
