Volaris announces 40 new domestic routes in Mexico

Mexican ultra-low-cost carrier Volaris has announced 40 new domestic routes. These new services are primarily point-to-point, increasing regional connectivity across the country. The states of Guanajuato, Baja California, and Sinaloa will receive the largest number of new routes, with twelve, ten, and nine, respectively. Volaris is looking to increase its market share in the North American country. Fueled by a fleet composed of over 120 Airbus A320 family aircraft, the carrier announced the launch of 40 new routes connecting markets with leisure destinations last weekend. In a statement, the airline said that 33 of these routes will be exclusive, meaning zero competition from any other company. Holger Blankenstein, Executive Vice President of Volaris, said that due to a growing interest in knowing Mexico better, and the post-COVID new tourism trends, the company has seen the new touristic and industrial cities ready to be served. Volaris is the largest Mexican airline by traffic. Last year, it became the first company in the country’s history to carry over 30m passengers. This year, Volaris is set to break this figure once more. It carried over 10m passengers between January and April, increasing by 15% the traffic it had in the same period last year.<br/>
