The budget-fair airline, Volotea will be putting on an extra flight from granada to Madrid, Seville and Málaga between November the 13th and December the 16th.

This is a temporary strategy owing to the recent Urda (Toledo) train crash which has caused high-speed, rail-service disruptions making getting to Madrid by rail much more difficult. In fact, between those two dates, they have put on an extra 100 flights.

So to attract demand, basic fares are capped at €75 per journey, rising to €99 for passengers requiring a 10kg carry-on bag.

They had originally schedules four, weekly flights to Seville and five to Málaga but for the above reasons they have included Madrid.

The fact is that these routes between Granada and the three other cities have been dominated by cheaper rail travel; the AVE high-speed trains get you to Madrid quickly, for example, without all the airport hassle when catching a flight.

The schedule initially includes four weekly frequencies between Granada and Madrid and Seville, with flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

In the case of Málaga, the company will offer five connections a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. During December, the offer is expected to increase with one additional weekly frequency on each of the two corridors.

Iberia has also just announced that they will be putting on extra Madrid-bound flights out of Granada but just until the 30th of November. They have also put a price cap on flights at 99 euros for tourist class and 149 for business class.
