A flying web splice apparatus (14) and method for splicing a moving web of material to another web of material without tape or adhesives being used at the splice. Two splicer assemblies (51, 52) are provided which each have a rotatable parent roll (58, 78) feeding web material into the splicer apparatus. Each splicer assembly has a series of substantially parallel vacuum belts (56, 76) and a series of vacuum boxes therein (66, 86). The vacuum boxes for each splicer assembly are evacuated by a vacuum blower (72, 92), which creates a vacuum causing a suction through holes within a portion of the vacuum belts in order to hold web material to the vacuum belts.
