Fly2Galicia: Galicia’s New Low‑Cost Airline Takes Off This December

Fly2Galicia is set to become the newest player in Spain’s aviation scene, launching on 1 December 2026 with a clear mission: restore and expand low‑cost connectivity for Galicia after Ryanair’s departure from Santiago de Compostela.

The airline will operate from Santiago–Rosalía de Castro Airport, offering eight routes, 17 weekly flights, and fares starting from just €19.

Why Fly2Galicia Matters

The airline arrives at a crucial moment for Galicia’s air connectivity. After Ryanair closed its Santiago base, the region saw a sharp drop in low‑cost options. Fly2Galicia aims to fill that gap by:

Reintroducing affordable fares

Offering year‑round scheduled flights

Improving access to major European hubs

Strengthening Santiago’s position as Galicia’s primary gateway

Its strategy—starting lean with a wet‑leased aircraft—mirrors the approach of many modern startup airlines, allowing Fly2Galicia to launch without the heavy financial burden of owning its own fleet.

Looking Ahead

Fly2Galicia has hinted at future expansion, potentially adding operations in A Coruña (Alvedro) and Vigo (Peinador). It also plans to grow its route map once initial operations stabilize.
