As US airlines resist flying immigrant children taken from parents, Volaris offers to reunite families

Several of the nation’s biggest airlines last week jumped into the fray over children who were being separated from their parents under the Trump administration’s controversial immigration policy. The carriers notified the US govt — and the public — that they wished to have no part in transporting those children to detention centres after they were taken from their parents after crossing the US southern border. Friday, Volaris announced that it was going one step further. The carrier said it would offer free seats on its planes to reunite those children with their families in Mexico and Central America. “Since its founding, Volaris’ mission has been to unite families,” the airline said. <br/>
