About Volaris
Volaris is an ultra-low-cost airline based in Mexico City. It was founded in 2005, began scheduled flights on 13 March 2006, and has become Mexico's largest airline by passengers carried. It flies an all-Airbus A320 family fleet and was the first North American operator of the A320neo, in 2016.
Its hubs are Guadalajara, Mexico City and Tijuana, with focus cities in Cancún, León/Del Bajío and Monterrey. Volaris serves domestic routes across Mexico, a large network to the United States aimed at visiting-friends-and-relatives travel, and routes in Central America through Volaris Costa Rica and Volaris El Salvador.
In December 2025 Volaris and Viva Aerobus agreed to combine under a new holding company while keeping both airlines and brands separate. As of September 2026 the deal had cleared US review and was awaiting Mexican antitrust approval.
