The new routes strengthen Volaris’ presence
in two of the most important cities in the U.S.
Volaris (NYSE: VLRS Y BMV: VOLAR), the ultra-low cost Mexican
carrier that operates in Mexico, the United States and Central
America, inaugurated two new non-stop routes to Chicago and Los
Angeles last week: Querétaro (QRO) – Chicago (MDW) and Querétaro
(QRO) – Los Angeles (LAX). The addition of this new service gives
both Chicago and Los Angeles more routes with Volaris than any
other cities in the United States.
The city of Los Angeles – the second-largest U.S. city by
population – has a population that is nearly 50 percent Hispanic
(U.S. Census Bureau). Hispanic residents of Chicago – which
features the third largest population of any city in the U.S. and
the largest city in the country’s Mid West region – make up almost
thirty percent of the city’s population (U.S. Census Bureau).
The large numbers of Hispanic residents in both Chicago and Los
Angeles present an excellent opportunity for Volaris expansion.
Both cities feature robust economies, diverse populations, Hispanic
influence, large market size and have cultural ties to Mexico.
“These two new routes are key to Volaris’ drive to connect our
‘Visiting Friends and Relatives’ (VFR) audience on both sides of
the border. By adding non-stop service from Querétaro to both
Chicago and Los Angeles we follow through on our commitment to
providing affordable and accessible travel options to our customers
while simultaneously strengthening our foothold in two of the most
important cities in North America,” said Volaris’ Chief Commercial
Officer, Holger Blankenstein.
These new routes add to the 165 existing routes that Volaris
currently offers – reinforcing the carrier’s position as the
Mexican airline with the most U.S. destinations. With its extensive
portfolio of routes that operate through Volaris’ point-to-point
model the airline now offers customers the safest and fastest way
to get to their destination of choice. Volaris maintains one of the
youngest and most modern air fleets in the Americas.
