Volaris Reports October 2021 Traffic Results:

26% demand growth versus 2019 with an 86% Load Factor

 

Mexico City, Mexico, November 3rd, 2021 – Volaris (the “Company”) (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR), the ultra-low-cost airline serving Mexico, the United States, Central and South America reports its October 2021 preliminary traffic results.

In October 2021, passenger demand (RPMs) in the domestic Mexican and international markets for Volaris increased 26.2% and 23.9%, respectively, as compared to October 2019. The Company capitalized on the strong market demand to add capacity (ASMs), both domestically (+24.9%) and internationally (+24.7%), while maintaining a high load factor (86.3%). In October 2021, Volaris transported 2.3 million passengers, 22% higher than the pre-pandemic levels.

Last month we inaugurated routes in Volaris El Salvador to Mexico City, Cancun, and San Pedro Sula (Honduras). Additionally, we announced the incorporation of two new routes from Felipe Angeles - Santa Lucía Airport to Cancun and Tijuana, that are scheduled to start operations in March 2022. Felipe Angeles - Santa Lucía Airport will be Volaris’ 44th station in Mexico and will not affect the Company’s operations and growth strategy at Mexico City International Airport.

Commenting on October traffic figures, Volaris’ President and CEO Enrique Beltranena said: “We are encouraged by the demand growth in core leisure and VFR markets and are responding with the appropriate levels of capacity to match such demand.”
