OREANDA-NEWS. March 14, 2014. Vueling, Spain's second-largest airline, will begin direct flights from Barcelona to Tallinn's Lennart Meri airport on June 20.

The company carried 14.8 million passengers in 2012. It is based at Barcelona’s El Prat Airport. Vueling's name comes from the Spanish word Vuelo, which means "flight".
