Volaris has announced the opening of five new routes responding to the needs and preferences of their customers.
Last week, the airline shared the results of a survey to its customers about the new reality of air travel. These new routes strengthen Volaris’ 74 routes available in Mexico to connect friends and families and help reactivate the economy in the country.
“Volaris has shown its resilience and the strength of its business model. We are one of the airlines with the lowest costs on the planet and with a deep adaptability, which has allowed us to grow and establish ourselves as the first airline in number of passengers transported in the Mexican domestic market in less than 14 years. The crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic has opened new opportunities for the development of the aviation industry in our country, and today we are proud to present these five new routes created to serve our key market, the VFR (Visitors, Friends and Family)”, said Holger Blankenstein, Vice President of Commercial and Operations at Volaris.
The five new routes presented by Volaris will start operating in July and October 2020, originating in Mexico City and destined for cities in the Gulf and the north of the country. All routes are available for purchase with special prices starting today on the renewed Volaris website http://www.volaris.com. The opening of these new routes also responds to the brands promise “Con Volaris #SeguroVuelas” that the airline launched last month, which seeks to reduce the time customers spend traveling by plane between cities, and avoid spending 11 hours in a bus.

Volaris has made this announcement:
Volaris understands that COVID-19 has disrupted every aspect of everyday life and has dedicated additional personnel and resources to assist affected passengers during this difficult time.
At the moment, Volaris has not cancelled any flights beyond May. The situation is constantly changing and Volaris’ ability to operate has been affected both by these changing conditions and the need to comply with all relevant government requirements.
Despite this uncertainty, Volaris is committed to continue to dedicate all resources at its disposal to ensure that those clients unable to travel due to COVID-19 are kept informed of the situation and provided with reasonable alternative options.
If a flight has been significantly delayed or cancelled by Volaris, every passenger receives an e-mail which offers them alternatives from which to choose, consistent with all regulatory requirements.
If a passenger decides not to take his/her reserved flight before June 30, he/she can change their flight without any change fees. However, he/she is still responsible for any fare difference. Flight changes can be done via our website, Volaris.com.
We are working tirelessly to continue to serve our flyers despite these challenges. The health and safety of our customers is our top priority, and we continue to monitor and abide by all guidance and regulations. We have modified our policies to provide our customers with the flexibility to make changes to their travel plans.

Volaris, the ultra-low-cost airline serving Mexico, the United States and Central America, reported April 2020 preliminary traffic results.
In April 2020, capacity measured by ASMs (Available Seat Miles) decreased by 82.4% vs the same period of last year, while demand measured by RPMs (Revenue Passenger Miles) decreased 81.8% year over year. Volaris transported a total of 307 thousand passengers during the month of April, a decrease of 83.4% year over year. Network-wide load factor for April 2020 was 87.4%.
These decreases were a result of the decline in demand of air travel services related to the virus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, which affected Volaris in the month of April, as announced in the capacity guidance issued by the Company.
On April 21, 2020, the Mexican General Health Council announced “Phase 3” of the spread of the COVID-19, the most serious stage in Mexico, extending governmental restrictions to contain the COVID-19 until May 31, 2020. Going forward, Volaris announced a capacity reduction, as measured by available seat miles (ASMs) for the month of May 2020, of approximately 90% versus the originally scheduled capacity.
Volaris’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Enrique Beltranena, commenting on the traffic results for April 2020, said: “I am especially proud of the job of our ambassadors and their selfless attitude facing this unprecedented challenge. Volaris is taking crucial actions to prioritize the health of our ambassadors and customers while protecting the business. We are implementing decisive actions to mitigate the operational and financial impacts of COVID-19 pandemic by making deep schedule reductions for April and May, drastically reducing spending and carefully managing our liquidity position. We are not hesitating to make difficult decisions to ensure the long-term success of our airline.”
In addition, during April “Avión Ayuda Volaris“, the program that encompasses the sustainability efforts of the airline, transported health equipment destined for professionals fighting COVID-19 in 14 different cities in Mexico, as well as ventilators aimed at preserving lives in Baja California.
Volaris has made this announcement:
Volaris understands that some of its customers still need to travel, and so, in the wake of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) contingency, Volaris continues to operate to and from the following airports in the United States: Los Angeles (LAX), Oakland (OAK), San Jose (SJC), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Chicago Midway (MDW), Portland (PDX) and Orlando (MCO).

Volaris has made this announcement:
Volaris, the ultra-low-cost airline serving Mexico, the United States and Central America, announces that pursuant to a decree published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, the Government of the United Mexican States, acting through the General Health Council (Consejo de Salubridad General (GHC)) declared a health emergency due to force majeure, as a result of the disease epidemic caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), known as Coronavirus, which will be in effect until April 30, 2002 (the “Declaration of Emergency”)
The Declaration of Emergency and the health security measures announced by the GHC, such as the suspension of non-essential activities in the public, private and social sector, as well as the call to the population to comply with stay at home, will impact the demand for passenger air transportation whilst the Declaration of Emergency is in effect.
As a result, from the date hereof, Volaris will make an additional capacity reduction to that which was advised on March 24, 2020. Capacity measured by available seat miles (ASMs) for the month of April, 2020 will reduce to approximately 80% of total operation versus the schedule originally published.
Volaris will continue to provide relevant market updates should further capacity, governmental travel restrictions or other liquidity preserving measures need to be implemented.
