Barcelona (BCN) to Marseille (MRS) is another of the endless routes that Vueling (VY) will be throwing at France next March, hoping a few will stick. The jury is out on this one though. From 25 March 2012, the Spanish low-cost airline will be launching a four-times-weekly route between the second-largest cities of both France and Spain with its standard of fairly-cramped-but-not-horrendous 180-seater Airbus A320 aircraft.
Vueling's flights are usually aimed at the leisure market, or sometimes also at business passengers on routes where its parent company Iberia (IB) does not operate. In this case, traffic is most likely to be leisure-oriented, including passengers visiting friends and family. With the current schedules, weekend breaks in either city are quite feasible.

Out of Vueling's new routes, this route faces quite possibly the most competition, as two other Spanish airlines also operate the route. Air Nostrum operates the 50-seater CRJ-200 aircraft for Iberia on its five-times-weekly route to Marseille, while Spanair operates a wide variety of aircraft on this route, which it serves four times weekly. Marseille (MRS) vers Barcelone (BCN) est une nouvelle ligne qui sera lance par Vueling (VY) lors de sa prochaine expansion en France, le 25 mars 2012. La ligne sera effectuée quatre fois par semaine en appareil Airbus A320. Les passagers devraient être en bonne partie des voyageurs loisirs. Les concurrents sur la ligne sont Iberia et Spanair, qui volent 5 et 4 fois par semaine respectivement.
