FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

This annual report on Form 20-F or our “annual report,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which represent the Company’s expectations, beliefs, or projections concerning future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. When used in this annual report, the words “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “indicates,” “believes,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “potential,” “outlook,” “may,” “continue,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “targets” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Similarly, statements that describe the Company’s objectives, plans or goals, or actions the Company may take in the future, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s intentions and expectations regarding the delivery schedule of aircraft on order, full year 2025 outlook and guidance, expectation to receive certain compensation in connection with P&W GTF engine removals, anticipated execution of the Company´s business plan, focus on the Company´s 2025 priorities, and expected new service routes and customer savings programs. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations, including the competitive environment in the airline industry; the Company’s ability to keep costs low; changes in fuel costs; the impact of worldwide economic conditions on customer travel behavior; the Company’s ability to generate non-passenger revenues; geopolitical uncertainty and instability; and government regulation. Additional information concerning these, and other factors is contained in the Company’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described below under “Summary Risk Factors” and Part I, Item 3D. Risk Factors, Part I, Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects and other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in our filings with the SEC. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this annual report may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Additionally, our discussion herein and elsewhere such as our website, particularly of ESG initiatives and related issues, are informed by various standards and frameworks (including standards for the measurement of underlying data) and the interests of various stakeholders, which may be more expansive than certain requirements under US federal securities laws. In particular, while we may use language such as “material” or “materiality” in connection with certain disclosures, materiality is subject to various definitions (particularly in the ESG context) such that information may not be “material” under the federal securities laws definition of materiality for SEC reporting purposes. Furthermore, much of this information is subject to assumptions, estimates, or third-party information that is still evolving and subject to change. For example, our disclosures may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability of information, changes in our business or applicable government policies, changing stakeholder focus, or other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. Given the uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions involved, the materiality of some of this information is inherently difficult to assess far in advance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this annual report. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities and American Depository Shares (the “ADSs”) is subject to a number of risks, including risks related to Mexico, risks related to the countries in which we operate, risks related to the airline industry, risks related to our business, and risks related to our securities and the ADSs. The following list summarizes some, but not all, of these risks. Please read the information in the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

Risks related to Mexico and the other countries in which we operate

| · | Economic, political and social events, and changes in Mexican government policy: The Mexican federal government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Mexican economy. As a result, governmental actions and policies concerning air transportation and similar services could have a significant impact on our operations.

| · | Adverse economic conditions in Mexico and the other countries in which we operate: Our business may be affected by unfavorable economic conditions in Mexico and the other countries in which we operate, including a slowdown or recession in the economy, as well as higher inflation or interest rates. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future political and economic relationship between the United States and Mexico, including as a result of the change in the U.S. presidential administration with respect to immigration policies, trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other limitations on cross-border operations. Adding to these uncertainties were recently-announced and rapidly changing U.S. tariff policies, along with international retaliatory tariffs and global trade policies, which continue to cause overall economic uncertainty. These factors may result in decreased demand for our flights, lower fares, or a shift towards alternative ground transportation options such as long-distance buses.

| · | Currency fluctuations: Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the peso have historically been significant, and the potential for such fluctuations to persist in the future remains. If the peso depreciates against the U.S. dollar, it could potentially lead to reduced demand for our services and adversely affect our business operations and financial performance.

| · | Developments in other countries: Changes in immigration or trade policies, can adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Changes in government regulations related to airline safety, security and/or consumer protection could increase our costs and decrease our profitability. In addition, shifts in political leadership and economic policies could impact the demand for our flights.

Risks related to the airline industry

| · | Competition: We operate in an extremely competitive industry and face significant competition with respect to routes, fares, services, and airport slots. Our competition includes not only other airlines but also bus services that cover many of our routes. Decisions by our competitors that increase industry capacity, or capacity dedicated to a particular region, market, or route, have the potential to negatively impact our business.

| · | Economic Conditions: The airline industry is highly sensitive to changes in economic conditions. Unfavorable economic conditions have the potential to negatively impact our ability to offset increased fuel, labor, or other costs through price increases. Such impacts, if significant, may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

| · | Regulations: The airline industry is highly regulated, and it is essential that we maintain the necessary concessions, permits and authorizations from U.S., Mexican, Central American, and South American governmental bodies to operate successfully. Failure to do so could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

| · | Fixed Costs: The airline industry is characterized by low gross profit margins and high fixed costs. As a result, as an airline we face significant challenges in quickly reducing costs in response to unexpected revenue shortfalls. This could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

| · | Fuel Costs: Fuel costs have a significant impact on the airline industry, as they represent a considerable portion of operating expenses for airlines. Our ability to pass on such fuel cost increases to our customers is limited by our ultra-low-cost business model. As a result, any significant fluctuations or disruptions in the supply of fuel could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Table of Contents

| · | Public health threats: Infectious disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19 and other highly contagious diseases, have led to the suspension of both domestic and international flights in the past, as well as changes in travel behavior. These threats could also have a significant negative impact on the economies of the countries in which we operate, as well as the reputation of the airline industry as a whole. As a result, an infectious disease outbreak could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks related to our business

| · | Ultra-Low-Cost Structure: Our competitive advantage lies in our ultra-low-cost structure, which is subject to various factors that impact our ability to control costs, some of which are beyond our control. Our success relies on maintaining a high daily aircraft utilization rate, leaving us susceptible to flight delays, cancellations, and aircraft unavailability. Our non-passenger revenue is crucial for profitability, but it may not remain stable or increase. If our cost structure rises, and we can no longer maintain a cost advantage over competitors, it could negatively affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

| · | Maintenance Costs: As of December 31, 2024, our fleet’s average age was 6.4 years. Our newer aircraft, which constitutes a significant portion of the fleet, presently requires lower maintenance costs. However, as our fleet ages, we expect an increase in maintenance costs. Any significant surge in maintenance and repair expenses would have a material adverse effect on our margins, results of operations, and financial condition.

| · | Dependence on Certain Airports: Our business relies heavily on our routes to and from major airports in cities like Mexico City, Tijuana, Guadalajara, and Cancun, which represent a significant portion of our overall routes. In addition, the Mexico City International Airport is at full capacity and will go through a major structural construction, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain or obtain additional slots. Any major increase in competition, loss of any of our slots, a decrease in demand for air travel, or disruptions in airport services or fuel supply could potentially have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

| · | Limited suppliers: We rely on a limited number of suppliers for fuel, aircraft, engines, spare parts and other aircraft components.

· Any real or perceived problem with our aircraft or engines: If any design defect or mechanical problem is discovered, or if the technology relating to such aircraft or engines should become obsolete, our aircraft may have to be grounded while such defect or problem is corrected, assuming it could be corrected at all. Since 2017, P&W’s PW1100G-JM engines have experienced technical and production issues worldwide. As a result, several A320neo operators, including us, have reportedly caused their aircraft to be inoperative for long periods of time. This problem has also resulted in the delay of delivery of our A320neo and A321neo aircraft. We cannot assure you when such problems will be resolved by P&W.

Risks related to our securities and the ADSs

| · | CPO Trust: Non-Mexican investors may not hold our Series A shares directly and must have them held in a CPO trust, which releases Ordinary Participation Certificates (“Certificados de Participación Ordinarios” or “CPOs”) underlying Series A shares, at all times. If the current trust is terminated, a new trust similar to the CPO trust may not be created.

| · | Voting Rights: Holders of the ADSs and CPOs are not entitled to vote the underlying Series A shares. As a result, holders of the ADSs and CPOs do not have any influence over the decisions made relating to our Company’s business or operations, nor are they protected from the results of any such corporate action taken by our holders of Series A shares.

| D. | Risk Factors

You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this annual report and the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of the ADSs could decline due to any of these risks or other factors, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The risks described below are those that we currently believe may adversely affect us or the ADSs. In general, investing in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries, such as Mexico, and the other countries in which we operate involves risks that are different from the risks associated with investing in the securities of U.S. companies and companies located in other countries with developed capital markets. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

To the extent that information relates to, or is obtained from sources related to, the Mexican government or Mexican macroeconomic data, such information has been extracted from official publications of the Mexican government and has not been independently verified by us.

Risks related to Mexico and the other countries in which we operate

Economic political and social developments in Mexico as well as changes in Mexican federal governmental policies may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition are affected by economic, political or social developments in Mexico, including, among others, any political or social instability in Mexico, changes in the rate of economic growth or contraction, changes in the exchange rate between the peso, the U.S. dollar and other currencies, an increase in inflation or interest rates, changes in Mexican taxation and any amendments to existing Mexican laws, federal governmental policies and regulations.

Adverse social or political developments in or affecting Mexico could negatively affect us and Mexican financial markets generally, thereby affecting our ability to obtain financing. Presidential and federal congressional elections in Mexico were held on June 2, 2024. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was elected as President. The President’s party and its allies currently hold the qualified majority (i.e., two-thirds) of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. We cannot provide any assurance that the current political situation or any future developments in Mexico will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or prospects.

In addition, the Mexican federal government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Mexican economy. In particular, Mexican governmental actions and policies concerning air transportation and similar services could have a significant impact on us.

The New Mexicana de Aviación was created on June 15, 2023, as a state-owned company and started operations on December 26, 2023, further increasing our competition. On February 2, 2023, the Mexican federal government published a decree which was amended on July 7, 2023, ordering the termination of domestic and international air cargo transport operations, both regularly scheduled and unscheduled flights, at the Mexico City International Airport.

Furthermore, in September 2022, the AFAC issued a resolution that reduced operations at the Mexico City International Airport from 61 to 52 flights per hour. Subsequently, on August 31, 2023, AFAC issued a resolution that further reduced the number of flights in the Mexico City International Airport to a maximum of 43 flights per hour. In response to this reduction, which took effect on January 8, 2024, we reduced capacity at the Mexico City International Airport, initially redeploying four aircraft lines to other domestic airports, with a total of six aircraft redeployed by the end of 2024.

On February 5, 2024, former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador submitted a package of 18 constitutional amendments and two legal reform initiatives to the Chamber of Deputies. These amendments and initiatives aim to, among other things, modify the functioning of the Judicial, Legislative and Executive branches and the electoral system; eliminate various autonomous constitutional bodies such as the Federal Economic Competition Commission, the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information, and Personal Data Protection, and the Federal Telecommunications Institute and regulatory organizations, as well as simplify the structure of the Federal Public Administration; modify the power sector; establish constitutional prohibitions on various matters such as fracking, open-pit mining, the use of vaping systems and fentanyl; and elevate various social programs launched during his administration to constitutional rank, as well as create a supplementary pension fund.

On September 15, 2024, the Decree amending, adding and eliminating several articles of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States regarding the Federal Judicial Branch. The reforms to the Federal Judicial Branch includes, among others:(i) eliminating the Federal Judiciary Council (“CJF”) and transferring its administrative functions to a judicial administration body (appointed by the Powers of the Union), while its disciplinary functions will be transferred to a Judicial Discipline Tribunal (elected by popular vote), (ii) the reduction from 11 to nine Justices of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (“SCJN”), including a reduction in the term of office of the Justices from 15 to 12 years and the elimination of the SCJN chambers, (iii) the election by popular vote, following a call and nomination by the three powers of the union of Justices of the SCJN, electoral magistrates, circuit magistrates, military discipline tribunal magistrates, and district judges, (iv) changes to remunerations of judicial civil servants so that no judicial official earns more than the President, (v) allowing the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation to resolve challenges in key judicial elections, (vi) extending the scope of impeachment and establishing procedures for criminally prosecuting judicial officials, and (vii) strengthening the independence of local judicial powers.

We cannot assure you that changes in Mexican laws, regulations and policies, including those recently adopted, currently proposed and any changes that may be adopted in the future, will not adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects or the price of the ADSs.

Adverse economic conditions in Mexico and the other countries in which we operate may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are a Mexican corporation and most of our operations are conducted in Mexico. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 62% of our total revenues were attributable to our Mexican domestic operations. As a result, our business performance is closely linked to the performance of the Mexican economy. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, the Mexican economy grew 3.1%, 3.2% and 1.2%, respectively, in terms of gross domestic product (“GDP”), according to the INEGI. Moreover, in the past, Mexico has experienced prolonged periods of economic crises, caused by internal and external factors, over which we have no control. Those periods have been characterized by exchange rate volatility, high inflation, high domestic interest rates, economic contraction, a reduction of international capital inflows, a reduction of liquidity in the banking sector, and high unemployment rates.

We conduct an important part of our operations in the United States and Central and South America. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 38% of our total revenues were attributable to our operations within these regions. Therefore, our results are influenced not only by our domestic operations but also by those conducted in the United States and Central and South America.

As of the date of this annual report, we believe that the main risk factors for the countries where we operate include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) continuation of persistent supply-demand mismatches, increasing inflation and a faster-than-anticipated monetary policy normalization cycle, and its impact on the global economy, emerging markets, risk aversion, foreign exchange markets, debt, and financial market volatility; (ii) escalation of social unrest; (iii) more adverse climate shocks; (iv) an escalation of trade and technology tensions, could weigh on investment and productivity growth, raising additional roadblocks in the recovery path; (v) rapid growth of cryptocurrencies without clear regulation that could lead to financial instability with negative effects for the global economy; (vi) an increase in the spread and destructiveness of cyberattacks involving critical infrastructure could act as further drags on the recovery, particularly as telework and automation increase; (vii) changes in United States immigration and trade policies; and (viii) other geopolitical risks.

Unfavorable economic conditions in Mexico and the other countries in which we operate, including a slowdown or recession in their economies, as well as higher inflation rates, may result in decreased demand for our flights, lower fares or a shift towards alternative ground transportation options, such as long-distance buses. We cannot assure you that economic conditions in Mexico and the other countries in which we operate will not worsen, or that those conditions will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Economic, political, or social developments in the United States and the Central and South American countries in which we operate may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition are affected by economic, political or social developments in the United States and the Central and South American countries in which we operate. Like other companies with international operations, political, economic, geopolitical or social developments in the countries in which we operate, such as elections, new governments, changes in public policy, economic circumstances, laws and/or regulations, trade policies, political agreements or disagreements, civil disturbances and a rise in violence or the perception of violence, could have a material adverse effect in the countries in which we operate or on the global financial markets, and in turn on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

For instance, the new presidential administration in the United States has issued a series of executive orders that signal a shift in the United States energy and climate change policy. Among other directives, such executive orders: (i) direct federal agencies to identify and exercise emergency authorities to facilitate conventional energy production, transportation, and refining, and call for the use of emergency regulations to expedite energy infrastructure projects; (ii) promote energy exploration and production on federal lands and waters; (iii) mandate a review of existing regulations that may burden U.S. energy development; and (iv) pause the disbursement of funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In addition to these executive orders, the “Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions” executive order, which was issued on January 20, 2025, revokes close to 80 executive orders issued by the previous administration, including those addressing public health and the environment, climate change, and climate related financial risks. We do not yet know the full impact of such changes on our business, including the effects of such changes relative to our competitors. Additionally, there is currently significant uncertainty about the future political and economic relationship between the United States and various other countries, such as Mexico, including as a result of the change in the U.S. presidential administration with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other limitations on cross-border operations. Changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls and other regulatory requirements could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results, the extent of which cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

If inflation rates increase in Mexico and the other countries in which we operate, demand for our services may decrease and our costs may increase.

Mexico has historically experienced levels of inflation that are higher than the annual inflation rates of its main trading partners. The annual rate of inflation, as measured by changes in the Mexican National Consumer Price Index, calculated and published by the Mexican Central Bank and INEGI, was 7.82% for 2022, 4.66% for 2023, and 4.21% in 2024. In addition, since the beginning of 2021, inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, has increased in advanced and emerging market economies, reaching record high levels, driven mainly by supply chain issues (including input shortages, labor constraints, and rising commodity prices), excess demand for goods and services, and significant increases in energy prices. Although, inflation decreased in 2023 in most countries, it remained above the inflation targets set by Central Banks, as indicated by the Mexican Central Bank, while reference interest rates were high, reflecting restrictive monetary policies. Throughout 2024, inflation continued to gradually decline, and Central Banks began cutting interest rates, though they remained cautious due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. The global environment continues to be complex, marked by heightened volatility in financial markets. High inflation rates could adversely affect our business and results of operations by reducing consumer purchasing power, thereby adversely affecting consumer demand for our services, increasing our costs beyond levels that we could pass on to our customers and by reducing the benefit of our revenues when inflation outpaces our ability to raise prices.

Currency fluctuations or the devaluation and depreciation of the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Foreign exchange gains or losses included in our total cost of comprehensive financing resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the US dollar-peso exchange rate on our Mexican peso-denominated monetary liabilities (such as Mexican peso-denominated debt, Mexican pesos financial debt, suppliers and other accounts payable) and assets (such Mexican peso-denominated cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, guarantee deposits and derivative financial instruments denominated in Mexican pesos). As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, our net monetary Mexican peso and other currencies liability position denominated in U.S. dollars was U.S. $0.2 billion, U.S. $0.2 billion, and U.S. $0.4 billion, respectively. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, as a consequence of either the appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the peso, and our net monetary liability position in Mexican peso and other currencies, we recorded foreign exchange gains (losses) of U.S. $3.6 million, U.S. $(34.1) million, and U.S. $13.7 million, respectively.

The value of the U.S. dollar has been subject to significant fluctuations with respect to the peso in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. As of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 the U.S. dollar depreciated 5.9%, 12.7%, and appreciated 20.0%, respectively, against the peso in nominal terms.

Devaluation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the peso may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of an investment in the CPOs, as well as the U.S. dollar value of any dividend or other distributions that we may make.

Exchange rate fluctuations would also affect the equivalent value of any dividends and other distributions we may elect to make in the future and may affect the timely payment of any cash dividends and other distributions to holders of CPOs that we may elect to pay in the future.

Developments in other countries could adversely affect the Mexican economy, the market value of our securities, our financial condition and results of operations.

The market value of securities of Mexican companies is affected by economic and market conditions in developed and other emerging market countries. Although economic conditions in those countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Mexico, investors’ reactions to developments in any of these other countries, may have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of Mexican issuers. For example, prices of both Mexican debt and equity securities have sometimes suffered substantial drops as a result of developments in other countries.

In addition, the direct correlation between economic conditions in Mexico and the United States has strengthened because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) and increased economic activity between the two countries (including increased remittances of U.S. dollars from Mexican workers in the United States to their families in Mexico). On November 30, 2018, Mexico, the United States and Canada signed the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), which entered into force on July 1, 2020, as a replacement for NAFTA. Implementation of immigration and trade policies can adversely affect United States—Mexico travel behavior, especially in the VFR and leisure markets and could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

There is currently significant uncertainty about the future political and economic relationship between the United States and Mexico and its impact on the overall state of the economy. This uncertainty is driven bychanges in the U.S. presidential administration with respect to immigration policies, trade policies, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other limitations on cross-border operations, which has impacted the demand for U.S.—Mexican transborder travel. Adding to these uncertainties were recently-announced and rapidly changing U.S. tariff policies, along with international retaliatory tariffs and global trade policies, which continue to cause overall economic uncertainty. Changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls and other regulatory requirements could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results, the extent of which cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Additionally, other potential challenging macroeconomic conditions, and the resulting impact on the economy and consumer spending, could negatively impact our business and operations. See “—Economic, political, or social developments in the United States and the Central and South American countries in which we operate may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.” Mexican antitrust provisions may affect the fares we are permitted to charge to customers.

Table of Contents

The Mexican Aviation Law (Ley de Aviación Civil) provides that in the event that the SICT determines that there is no effective competition among permit and concession holders (required to operate airlines in Mexico), the SICT may request the opinion of the Mexican Antitrust Commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica) and then issue regulations governing the fares that may be charged for air transportation services by airlines operating in Mexico. Such regulations would be in effect only while the conditions that resulted in their establishment remain. The imposition of fare regulations by the SICT could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Violent crime in Mexico has adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, the Mexican economy and may have a negative effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Mexico has experienced high levels of violent crime over the past years relating to illegal drug trafficking, particularly in Mexico’s northern states near the U.S. border, and several other states. This violence has had an adverse impact on the economic activity in Mexico. In addition, violent crime may further affect travel within Mexico and between Mexico and other countries, including the United States, affect the airports or cities in which we operate, including airports or cities in the north of Mexico in which we have significant operations, and increase our insurance and security costs. We cannot assure you that the levels of violent crime in Mexico, the United States and other countries in which we operate will not increase or decrease and will have no further adverse effects on the country’s economy and on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Risks related to the airline industry

We operate in an extremely competitive industry.

We face significant competition with respect to routes, fares, services and slots in airports. Within the airline industry, we compete with legacy carriers, regional airlines and low-cost airlines on many of our routes. The intensity of the competition we face varies from route to route and depends on a number of factors, including the strength of competing airlines. Our competitors may have better brand recognition and greater financial and other resources than we do. In the event our competitors reduce their fares to levels which we are unable to match while sustaining profitable operations or are more successful in the operation of certain routes (as a result of service or otherwise), we may be required to reduce or withdraw services on the relevant routes, which may cause us to incur losses or may impact our growth, financial condition or results of operations. See Item 4: “Information on the Company—Business Overview—Competition.”

The airline industry is particularly susceptible to price discounting, because once a flight is scheduled, airlines incur only nominal additional costs to provide service to passengers occupying otherwise unsold seats. Increased fare or other price competition could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, other airlines have begun to unbundle services by charging separate fees for services such as baggage transported, food and beverages consumed onboard and advance seat selection. This unbundling and potential reduction of costs could enable competitor airlines to reduce fares on routes that we serve, which may result in an improvement in their ability to attract customers and may affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, airlines increase or decrease capacity in markets based on perceived profitability. Decisions by our competitors that increase overall industry capacity, or capacity dedicated to a particular region, market or route, could have a material adverse impact on our business. Our growth and the success of our ULCC business model could stimulate competition in our markets through our competitors’ development of their own ULCC strategies or new market entrants. Any such competitor may have greater financial resources and access to cheaper sources of capital than we do, which could enable them to operate their business with a lower cost structure than we can. If these competitors adopt and successfully execute a ULCC business model, we could be materially adversely affected, including our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We also face competition from air travel substitutes. On our domestic routes, we face competition from other transportation alternatives, such as bus or automobile. In addition, technology advancements may limit the desire for air travel. For example, video teleconferencing and other methods of electronic communication may reduce the need for in-person communication and add a new dimension of competition to the industry as travelers seek lower cost substitutes for air travel.

The New Mexicana de Aviación was created on June 15, 2023, as a state-owned company and started operations on December 26, 2023, further increasing our competition. If we are unable to adjust rapidly in the event the basis of competition in our markets changes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The airline industry is heavily impacted by the price and availability of fuel. Continued volatility in fuel costs or significant disruptions in the supply of fuel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Fuel is a major cost component for airlines and is our largest operating expense. The cost of fuel accounted for 46%, 38%, and 33% of our total operating costs in 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. As such, our operating results are significantly affected by changes in the cost and availability of fuel. Both the cost and the availability of fuel are subject to economic, social and political factors and other events occurring throughout the world, which we can neither control nor accurately predict. Fuel prices have been subject to high volatility, fluctuating substantially over the past several years.

We expect global developments relating to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and resulting export restrictions, as Russia is one of the world’s largest oil exporters, will likely lead to decreased global supply and increased fuel prices, which effects could be more acute if the participants of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), decide not to, or are unable to, increase their supply production.

Moreover, the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, triggered by attacks between Israel and Iran in April 2024, heightened geopolitical tensions in the region. This direct confrontation between Iran and Israel marks a significant escalation in their long-standing political and religious tensions. The uncertainty surrounding the conflict and the potential responses of each country has reverberated throughout the financial markets. Notably, the price of Brent crude oil surged to over U.S. $90 per barrel, reaching its highest level since the Gaza Strip conflict in October 2023. This uptick in oil prices poses a significant risk to the aviation industry.

The Iran-Israel conflict has broader implications beyond the immediate region, and the tensions between these two nations have the potential to impact other countries in the Middle East and beyond, with the possibility of the conflict further exacerbating geopolitical instability and economic uncertainty globally.

Due to the large proportion of fuel costs in our total operating cost base, even a relatively small increase in the price of fuel can have a significant negative impact on our operating costs and on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For more information on our cost of fuel, see Item 4: “Information on the Company—Business Overview—Fuel.” In some instances, these costs or volatility may be higher due to factors associated with other initiatives, including, for example, the availability and price of “sustainable aviation fuel” (SAF) to help reduce our GHG emissions.

Our inability to renew our concession or the revocation by the Mexican government of our concession would materially adversely affect us.

We hold a concession from the Mexican federal government that authorizes us to provide domestic air transportation services of passengers, cargo and mail within Mexico (the “Concession”). Our Concession was granted by the Mexican government through the SICT on May 9, 2005 for an initial term of five years and was extended by the SICT on February 17, 2010 for an additional term of ten years. On February 21, 2020, our Concession was extended for an additional 20-year term starting on May 9, 2020.

Mexican law provides that concessions may be renewed several times. However, each renewal may not exceed 30 years, and the law requires the concessionaire to:

| · | have complied with the obligations set forth in the concession to be renewed;

| · | have requested the renewal one year before the expiration of the concession term;

14

Table of Contents

| · | have made an improvement in the quality of the services during the term of the concession; and

| · | have accepted the new conditions established by the SICT according to the Mexican Aviation Law (Ley de Aviación Civil).

Failure to renew our Concession would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects and would prevent us from continuing to conduct our business.

In addition, we are required under the terms of our Concession to comply with certain ongoing obligations. Failure to comply with these obligations could result in penalties against us. The Mexican government has the right to revoke our Concession and the permits we currently hold for various reasons, including:

| · | service interruptions;

| · | failure to comply with the terms of our Concession;

| · | if we assign or transfer rights under our Concession or permits;

| · | if we fail to maintain insurance required under applicable law;

| · | if we charge fares different from those registered with the SICT;

| · | if we violate statutory safety conditions;

| · | if we fail to pay statutory indemnification; or

| · | if we fail to pay to the Mexican government the required compensation.

If our Concession or permits are revoked, we will be unable to operate our business as it is currently operated and be precluded from obtaining a new concession or permit for five years from the date of revocation. For more information on the potential causes for revocation of our Concession and permits, see Item 4: “Information of the Company—Regulation.”

Under Mexican law, our assets could be taken or seized by the Mexican government under certain circumstances.

Pursuant to Mexican law and our Concession, the Mexican federal government may take or seize our assets, temporarily or permanently, including our aircraft, in the event of a natural disaster, war, serious changes to public order or in the event of imminent danger to national security, internal peace or the national economy. The Mexican federal government, in all cases, except in the event of international war, must indemnify us by paying the respective losses and damages at market value. In these circumstances, we would not be able to continue with our normal operations. Applicable law is unclear as to how indemnification is determined and the timing of payment thereof. Any seizure of our assets is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The airline industry is particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions. A global economic downturn could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business and the airline industry in general are affected by changing economic conditions beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

| · | changes and volatility in general economic conditions, including the severity and duration of any downturn in Mexico, the United States or the global economy and financial markets;

15

Table of Contents

| · | changes in consumer preferences, perceptions, spending patterns or demographic trends, including any increased preference for higher-fare carriers offering higher amenity levels, and reduced preferences for low-fare carriers offering more basic transportation, during better economic times or for other reasons;

| · | higher levels of unemployment and varying levels of disposable or discretionary income;

| · | health outbreaks, pandemics and other safety concerns;

| · | decreases in housing and stock market prices;

| · | lower levels of actual or perceived consumer confidence;

| · | high inflation and interest rates;

| · | tariffs and global trade policies; and

| · | increases in exchange rate volatility and fuel prices.

These factors can adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms and our liquidity generally. Current unfavorable general economic conditions, such as higher unemployment rates, a constrained credit market, housing-related pressures and increased focus on reducing business operating costs can reduce spending for leisure, VFR and business travel. For many travelers, in particular the leisure and VFR travelers we serve, air transportation is a discretionary purchase that they can eliminate from their spending in difficult economic times.

In addition, adverse economic conditions could affect our ability to implement price adjustments, to counteract increased fuel, labor or other costs, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are currently striving to increase demand for our flights among the portion of the population in Mexico that has traditionally used ground transportation for travel due to price constraints, by offering lower fares that compete with bus fares on similar routes. Unfavorable economic conditions could affect our ability to offer these lower fares and could affect this population segment’s discretionary spending in a more adverse manner than other travelers.

Further, in an inflationary environment, we may be unable to manage through the resulting increases in our operating costs depending on its effects on the airline industry and other economic conditions. We cannot predict how long an inflationary period will last or if it will re-occur in the future. As such, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain our costs at their current level. If our costs increase and we are no longer able to maintain a competitive cost structure, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The airline industry is heavily regulated and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if we fail to maintain the required U.S., Mexican, Central American and South American governmental concessions or authorizations necessary for our operations.

The airline industry is heavily regulated and we are subject to regulation in Mexico, the United States, Central America and South America for the routes we operate. In order to maintain the necessary concessions, permits and authorizations issued by the SICT, acting through the AFAC, the DOT, the FAA and several of the aviation authorities in the Central and South American countries in which we operate, including authorizations to operate our routes, we must continue to comply with applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to the airline industry, including any statutes, rules and regulations that may be adopted in the future.

We cannot predict which criteria the SICT will apply for awarding rights to landing slots, bi-lateral agreements, and international routes, which may prevent us from obtaining routes that may become available. In addition, international routes are limited by bi-lateral agreements and our expansion plans in the international market will be limited if we are unable to obtain new international routes. Furthermore, we cannot predict or control any actions that the DOT, the AFAC, FAA or the aviation authorities in the Central and South American countries in which we operate may take in the future, which could include restricting our operations or imposing new and costly regulations.

16

Table of Contents

Furthermore, our fares are subject to review by the AFAC and some of the aviation authorities in the Central and South American countries in which we operate, any of which may in the future impose restrictions on our fares. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if we fail to maintain the required U.S., Mexican, Central American and South American governmental concessions, permits or authorizations or slots necessary for our operations.

The airline industry is subject to increasingly stringent environmental regulations and non-compliance therewith may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The airline industry is subject to increasingly stringent international and foreign laws and federal, state and local, regulations and ordinances relating to the protection of the environment, including those relating to emissions to the air, levels of noise, discharges to surface and subsurface waters, safe drinking water, and the management of hazardous substances and waste materials. Compliance with all environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures and any future regulatory developments in Mexico, the United States and other countries in which we operate could adversely affect operations and increase operating costs in the airline industry. Concerns about climate change and greenhouse gases may result in additional regulation or taxation of emissions. For example, on January 28, 2025, the CNBV published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, regulations requiring mandatory disclosures of ESG matters. These regulations are mandatory for all publicly listed companies on the Mexican Stock Exchange. These companies are required to disclose 2025 sustainability information in a separate report during 2026 and may include an assurance from an external auditor. However, the disclosure of information of year 2026 must be assured at least in a limited manner and disclosure of information of year 2027 must have reasonable assurance of an external auditor. Future operations and financial results may vary as a result of the aforementioned regulation in Mexico, and/or the possible adoption of equivalent ESG regulations in the United States, Central and South America or other countries. Compliance with these regulations and new or existing regulations that may be applicable to us in the future could increase our cost base and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, in 2016, the ICAO, adopted a resolution creating the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (“CORSIA”), providing a framework for a global market-based measure to stabilize CO2 emissions in international civil aviation (i.e., civil aviation flights that depart in one country and arrive in a different country). Mexico was a voluntary early adopter of CORSIA. Annual international emissions reporting is required via CORSIA as of the 2019 reporting year, and offsetting compliance relative to a predetermined baseline is scheduled to be implemented through three phases that began in 2021. Even though Mexico was a voluntary early adopter of CORSIA, at this time, the costs of complying with our future obligations under CORSIA are uncertain, primarily due to factors such as volatility in the demand for international air travel, regulatory uncertainty, the availability, supply and prices of CORSIA eligible emissions units (EEUs) and the future development of the market for eligible sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Due to the competitive nature of the airline industry and unpredictability of the market for air travel, we cannot assure that we may be able to increase our fares, impose surcharges or otherwise increase revenues or decrease other operating costs sufficiently to offset the costs of meeting our obligations under CORSIA.

The USEPA has also adopted rules implementing the ICAO aircraft engine GHG emission standards. Pursuant to the Clean Air Act, the FAA issued a final rule in February 2024 to implement these standards, introducing new fuel efficiency certification regulations. These regulations took effect in April 2024 and will apply to larger business and commercial jet aircraft with either new design types (not previously certified by the FAA) or existing design types that are in production as of January 1, 2028. More stringent standards, or other restrictions, may also be adopted in the future. Additionally, governmental authorities in the United States and other countries are increasingly focused on potential contamination resulting from the use of certain chemicals, most notably per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”). In August 2022, the EPA published for public comment a new rulemaking that would designate two PFAS substances (perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. This rule, which was finalized in April 2024, requires entities to immediately report current and past releases that meet or exceed the reportable quantity for such substances to USEPA’s National Response Center. With this final rule and the introduction of any additional regulations or enforcement policies, whether by federal policymakers or otherwise, we may incur costs in connection with reporting obligations and costs related to historic usage of PFAS-containing materials, transitioning away from the usage of PFAS-containing products and firefighting systems, disposing of PFAS-containing waste or remediating any residual environmental impacts.

We may also be subject to other environmental or climate-related regulations, including relating to disclosures. For more information, see our risk factor titled “Increasing attention to, and scrutiny of, ESG matters could increase our costs, harm our reputation, or otherwise adversely impact our business.”

Table of Contents

We are subject to a series of risks related to climate change.

Growing recognition among stakeholders of the impacts of climate change and related risks may translate, among others, into financial and reputational risks. For example, changes in the availability or cost of aircraft and components, as well as fuel due to climate conditions, may adversely impact our operations. Additionally, customers may choose to fly less frequently or fly on an airline they perceive as operating in a manner that is more environmentally sustainable. Customers may choose to use alternatives to travel, such as virtual meetings and workspaces. As part of our climate strategy, we offer an option for travelers to voluntarily purchase carbon offsets to partially offset their flight emissions; however, in recent years, there has been increased scrutiny on the use of carbon offsets, and we may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of their purchase as a result. Policymakers have also adopted, or considered adopting, various regulations on climate-related disclosures and other matters. For more information, see our risk factor titled “Increasing attention to, and scrutiny of, ESG matters could increase our costs, harm our reputation, or otherwise adversely impact our business.”

Finally, the potential acute and chronic physical effects of climate change, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods, fires, sea-level rise, excessive heat, longer-term changes in weather patterns and other climate-related events, could affect our operations, infrastructure, and financial results. Operational impacts, such as the cancellation of flights, could result in loss of revenue. We could also incur significant costs to improve the climate resiliency of our infrastructure and otherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate such physical effects of climate change. However, we cannot predict the ultimate cost, or success, of such efforts due to, among other things, the uncertainty associated with projections associated with managing climate risk.

Increasing attention to, and scrutiny of, ESG matters could increase our costs, harm our reputation, or otherwise adversely impact our business.

Companies across industries are facing increasing scrutiny from a variety of stakeholders related to their management of climate change, human capital, and other ESG and sustainability matters. Expectations regarding voluntary/mandatory ESG initiatives and disclosures and consumer demand for alternative forms of energy may result in increased costs (including but not limited to increased costs related to compliance, stakeholder engagement, suppliers’ contracts and insurance), changes in demand for certain products, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts to our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

While we may at times engage in voluntary initiatives (such as voluntary disclosures, certifications, or goals, among others) to advance our Corporate Sustainability Strategy or to respond to stakeholder expectations, such initiatives may be costly and may not have the desired effect. Expectations around our management of ESG matters continue to evolve rapidly, in many instances due to factors that are out of our control. For example, we may ultimately be unable to complete certain initiatives or targets, either on the timelines initially announced or at all, due to technological, cost, or other constraints, which may be within or outside of our control. Moreover, many ESG initiatives leverage methodologies and data that continue to evolve. As with other companies, our approach to such matters also evolves, and we cannot guarantee that our approach will align with any stakeholder’s expectations or preferences. Various stakeholders have different and at times conflicting expectations, and both proponents and opponents of various ESG matters are increasingly resorting to activism, including litigation, to advance their perspectives. Various capital providers and customers also incorporate ESG matters into their investment and procurement considerations. Addressing stakeholder expectations entails costs and failure to successfully navigate such expectations, as well as evolving interpretations of any existing governmental laws or requirements, may result in reputational harm, loss of customers or contracts, impact on regulatory or investor engagement, or other adverse impacts to our business. Such risks may also be augmented based on relative performance, both against any initiatives or goals we communicate as well as in comparison to our competitors. For example, there have been increasingly nuanced allegations of greenwashing against companies making significant ESG claims due to a variety of perceived deficiencies in performance, disclosure, or methodology, including as stakeholder perceptions of sustainability continue to evolve.

There is also increasing attention from various policymakers to ESG matters, as several jurisdictions (including Mexico) have adopted or are considering adopting requirements for companies to undertake certain disclosures or other actions regarding climate- and other ESG-related matters. However, these regulations are not uniform, including (among other things) in some instances having different approaches to materiality, and other policymakers have sought to constrain companies’ consideration of ESG matters. This and other stakeholder expectations could likely lead to increased costs as well as scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks identified in this risk factor. Additionally, many of our customers and suppliers may be subject to similar expectations, which may augment or create additional risks, including risks that may not be known to us.

Compliance with airline industry regulations involves significant costs and regulations enacted in Mexico, the United States, Central America and South America as well as the applicable international treaties may increase our costs significantly in the future.

Airlines are subject to extensive regulatory and legal compliance requirements, both domestically and internationally, that involve significant costs. Compliance with such extensive regulatory and legal compliance requirements has required significant expenditures including, among other things, collision avoidance systems, airborne wind shear avoidance systems, noise abatement and other environmental mitigation, and increased inspections and maintenance procedures to be conducted on older aircraft. We expect to continue to incur expenses in connection with complying with government regulations. Additional laws, regulations, taxes and airport rates and charges have been proposed from time to time that could significantly increase the cost of airline operations or reduce the demand for air travel. If adopted, these measures could have the effect of raising ticket prices, reducing revenue and increasing costs.

The DOT also regularly issues and amends aviation consumer protection and disability non-discrimination rules that address, among other things, fare advertising, fees for optional services, flight cancellations and delays (including lengthy tarmac delays at U.S. airports), responses to customer complaints, oversales and “bumped” passengers, interactions with passengers during the reservations process, at the airport and on board the aircraft, airlines’ adoption of and adherence to customer service plans, and the handling of baggage and assistive devices. Failure to remain in full compliance with such rules may subject us to fines or other enforcement action, which could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, the U.S. Congress passed a new law addressing airline refunds in 2024, and the DOT recently promulgated new rules that address airline refunds and transparency of airline ancillary service fees. Among many other requirements, the new airline refund rule requires airlines to (i) provide prompt and automatic refunds of airfares to consumers for canceled or significantly delayed or changed flights (if the customer does not fly on the significantly delayed or changed flight and does not accept the airline’s offer of alternate transportation or travel credits, vouchers or other compensation in lieu of a refund), (ii) provide travel vouchers or credits (valid for at least five years from date of issuance) to certain passengers who are unable or advised not to travel as scheduled because of a serious communicable disease, (iii) provide refunds of fees for ancillary services that consumers paid for but that were not provided, and (iv) refund fees for significantly delayed or lost checked bags. Among other requirements, the airline ancillary service fees rule would expand the scope of ancillary fee information presented on airline websites whenever fare and schedule information is provided in response to a consumer’s itinerary search; however, the implementation of that rule has been stayed by a U.S. Court of Appeals, which has sent the rule back to the DOT for further comment and consideration.

In addition to the airline refunds and transparency of airline ancillary service fees rules, DOT also issued in 2024 other rules and proposals that required compliance efforts, internal policies and procedures changes and expenditures, such as (i) a final rule to strengthen its regulations implementing the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) and to address wheelchair and scooter handling, including mishandling and transfers to and from aircraft seats, aisle chairs, and personal wheelchairs (currently on hold for review by the new U.S. administration), (ii) Final Rule that increased the limits of liability for denied boarding compensation on oversales, (iii) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that intends to require airlines to establish policies that allow young children, age 13 and under, to sit next to an accompanying adult at no additional cost beyond the fare, and (iv) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) which seeks to require airlines to provide consumers affected by significant flight disruptions with cash compensation, free rebooking and amenities such as meals, lodging for overnight delays, and transportation to and from lodging (currently on hold for review by the new U.S. administration).

In addition, various U.S. federal agencies, including the IRS, TSA, CBP, and U.S. Department of Agriculture, impose taxes and fees on both passengers and us to either defray the costs of providing security inspection and certain other government services at the U.S. airports where we operate or to fund U.S. civil aviation infrastructure, such as airport runway improvements. When such taxes and fees are imposed on passengers, we are required to collect and remit them to the federal agency concerned. Any increase in such taxes and fees could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to operate as an airline in the United States is dependent on maintaining our certifications, permits and authorizations issued to us by the DOT and the FAA. The FAA has the authority to issue mandatory orders relating to, among other things, the grounding of aircraft, inspection of aircraft, installation of new safety-related items and removal and replacement of aircraft parts that have failed or may fail in the future. A decision by the FAA to ground or require time-consuming inspections of or maintenance on, our aircraft, for any reason, could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. U.S. federal law requires that foreign air carriers, like us, providing air transportation to and from the United States hold a DOT-issued foreign air carrier permit or exemption. The revocation of such DOT authority or our FAA authorization would render it impossible for us to continue operating as an airline in the United States. The DOT and the FAA may also institute investigations or administrative proceedings against airlines for violations of regulations.

Furthermore, we cannot assure you that airline industry regulations enacted in the future in Mexico, Central America, South America and the United States, or the applicable international treaties, will not increase our costs significantly.

Airlines are often affected by factors beyond their control, including air traffic congestion at airports, weather conditions, health outbreaks or concerns, pandemics, or increased security measures, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Like other airlines, we are subject to delays caused by factors beyond our control, including air traffic congestion at airports, air traffic control inefficiencies, adverse weather conditions, health outbreaks or concerns, increased security measures and new travel- related taxes. Delays frustrate passengers, reduce aircraft utilization and increase costs, all of which in turn could adversely affect our profitability. The governments of Mexico, the United States and the Central and South American countries in which we operate control their respective airspace and airlines are completely dependent on the AFAC, the FAA and the other aviation authorities in the Central and South American countries in which we operate to keep these airspaces in a safe, efficient and affordable manner.

The air traffic control system, which is operated by Services to the Navigation in the Mexican Air Space (Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano) in Mexico, the FAA in the United States, the Central American Corporation of Aerial Navigation Services (Corporación Centroamericana de Servicios de Navegación Aérea) in Central America, the Air Navigation Services Directorate (Dirección de Servicios a la Navegación Aérea) in Colombia, and the Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation (Corporación Peruana de Aeropuertos y Aviación Comercial) in Peru, faces challenges in managing the growing demand for air travel. U.S. and Mexican air-traffic controllers often rely on outdated technologies that routinely overwhelm the system and compel airlines to fly inefficient, indirect routes resulting in delays. For example, in January 2023, flights in the United States were halted for a few hours because the FAA’s system issues for providing certain information to pilots (NOTAMs) went down as a result of a damaged database file. Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters can also cause flight cancellations or significant delays.

Cancellations or delays due to weather conditions, natural disasters, air traffic control problems, health outbreaks or concerns, pandemics, breaches in security or other factors and any resulting reduction in airline passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, climate change concerns may increase the possibility of disruptive weather, or changes that may impact the desirability of an area, that could adversely affect certain of our destinations more frequently or for longer periods of time.

Airline consolidations and reorganizations could adversely affect the industry.

The airline industry has undergone substantial consolidation throughout the years and recently, and it may undergo additional consolidation in the future. Any consolidation or significant alliance activity within the airline industry could increase the size and resources of our competitors. In particular, the airline industry in Mexico has seen a sharp contraction with the exit of more than nine Mexican airlines since 2007, according to data from the SICT. The most recent being Transportes Aeromar, S.A. de C.V., a regional carrier, which on February 15, 2023 announced its definitive cessation of operations. In April 2023, Interjet declared bankruptcy in Mexico. It is possible that further airline reorganizations, consolidation, bankruptcies, or liquidations may occur in the current global economic environment, the effects of which we are unable to predict. We cannot assure you the occurrence of these events, or potential changes resulting from these events, will not harm our business or the industry.

Because the airline industry is characterized by high fixed costs and relatively elastic revenues, airlines cannot quickly reduce their costs to respond to shortfalls in expected revenue.

The airline industry is characterized by low gross profit margins, high fixed costs and revenues that generally exhibit substantially greater elasticity than costs. The operating costs of each flight do not vary significantly with the number of transported passengers and, therefore, a relatively small change in the number of passengers, fare pricing or traffic mix could have a significant effect on operating and financial results. These fixed costs cannot be adjusted quickly to respond to changes in revenues and a shortfall from expected revenue levels could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Increases in insurance costs and/or significant reductions in coverage would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Following the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001 (the “September 11 terrorist attacks”), premiums for insurance against aircraft damage and liability to third parties increased substantially, and insurers could reduce their coverage or increase their premiums even further in the event of additional terrorist attacks, hijackings, wars, seizures/confiscations, airline crashes or other events adversely affecting the airline industry. In the future, certain aviation insurance could become unaffordable, unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage that are insufficient to comply with the levels of insurance coverage required by aircraft lenders and lessors or applicable government regulations. Events such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or any future aircraft emergency, accident or similar incident even if it does not involve our airline, could increase insurance premiums or reduce coverage scope.

Governments in other countries have agreed to indemnify airlines for liabilities that they might incur from terrorist attacks or provide low-cost insurance for terrorism risks. In that respect, the Mexican government provided certain loans to help airlines face increases in aircraft insurance right after the September 11 terrorist attacks. However, the Mexican government has not indicated an intention to provide similar benefits now or at any time in the future.

A general increase in the cost of insurance coverage, may result in both higher fares and a decreased demand for air travel generally, which could materially and negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Downturns in the airline industry caused by terrorist attacks or war, which may alter travel behavior or increase costs, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Demand for air transportation may be adversely affected by terrorist attacks, war or political and social instability, natural disasters and other events. Furthermore, these types of situations could have a prolonged effect on air transportation demand and on certain cost items.

The September 11 terrorists attacks, for example, have had a severe and lasting adverse impact on the airline industry. Airline traffic in the United States fell dramatically after the attacks and decreased severely throughout Latin America. The repercussions of the September 11 terrorist attacks, including increases in security, insurance and fear of similar attacks, continue to affect us and the airline industry. Since the September 11 terrorist attacks, the DHS and the TSA in the United States have implemented numerous security measures that restrict airline operations and increase costs and are likely to implement additional measures in the future. For example, following the widely publicized attempt of an alleged terrorist to detonate plastic explosives hidden underneath his clothes on a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day in 2009, international passengers became subject to enhanced random screening, which may include pat-downs, explosive detection testing or body scans.

Enhanced passenger screening, increased regulation governing carry-on baggage and other similar restrictions on passenger travel may further increase passenger inconvenience and reduce the demand for air travel. In addition, increased or enhanced security measures have tended to result in higher governmental fees imposed on airlines, resulting in higher operating costs for airlines. Therefore, any future terrorist attacks or threat of attacks, whether or not involving commercial aircraft, any increase in hostilities relating to reprisals against terrorist organizations, including an escalation of military involvement in the Middle East, or otherwise and any related economic impact, could result in decreased passenger traffic and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Public health threats, such as the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (“RSV”), COVID-19, the H1N1 flu virus, the bird flu, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”), the Zika virus, and other highly communicable diseases, could affect the suspension of domestic and international flights, travel behavior and could have a material adverse effect on the economy, airline industry reputation, the price of our shares, our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Health threats have historically impaired airline economics. In the past, passenger traffic was negatively affected as a result of the H1N1 flu crisis, which resulted in lower overall demand for intra-Latin America travel, especially to and from Mexico. Latin American travel has also been negatively affected as a result of the Zika virus and the COVID-19 pandemic.

As in the past, future health threats may cause countries around the world to implement containment measures, including imposing quarantines and medical screenings, restricting domestic and international travel, closing borders, restricting or prohibiting public gatherings and widely suspending previously scheduled activities and events. In addition, as in the past, concerns related to any future public health threats may drastically reduce demand for air travel and cause major disruptions and volatility in global financial markets, resulting in the fall of stock prices (including the price of our stock). Broad and continuing concerns related to the effects of any future health threats on international trade disruptions (including supply chain disruptions and export levels), travel, restrictions on access to facilities or aircraft, requirements to collect additional passenger data, employee productivity, employee illness, increased unemployment levels, securities markets, and other economic activities, particularly for airlines, have had and may in the future continue to have a destabilizing effect on financial markets and economic activity.

Furthermore, our operations could be negatively affected if essential employees are required to be quarantined as the result of an actual or suspected exposure to public health threats. In the case of public health threats -any shutdowns involving us or any of our subsidiaries, our contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners, our business, results of operations and financial condition may also be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to a pandemic may negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. If as result of public health threats that disrupts our operations, our liquidity is materially diminished, we might not be able to timely pay our leases and debts or comply with certain operating and financial covenants under our financing agreements or with other material provisions of our contractual obligations and may negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot predict the full extent of the impact of any future public health threats on our operational and financial performance. The extent of the impact will depend on a number of developments, many of which could be temporary or permanent and are outside of our control, such as the timing of recovery, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices and customer behavior, and changes in their preferences.

We can offer no assurance that additional travel restrictions, requirements or border closures will not be enacted or reenacted in the countries where we operate, which could result in reduced passenger demand, revenue, and further capacity reductions. In addition, if governments in the markets in which we operate impose total or partial lockdowns in all or part of their respective jurisdictions or shut down airports in response to public health threats, it may result in our inability to operate flights, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

Risks related to our business

We may not be able to implement our growth strategy.

Effectively implementing our growth strategy is critical for our business to achieve economies of scale and to sustain or increase our profitability. Our growth strategy includes:

| · | increasing our flights to markets we currently serve;

| · | expanding the number of markets we serve, focusing on new markets where we expect our ultra-low-cost structure to be successful; and

| · | acquiring or leasing additional aircraft or engines or spare parts from other owners, operators or lessors on acceptable terms.

We face numerous challenges in implementing our growth strategy, including our ability to:

| · | maintain profitability;

| · | access airports located in our targeted geographic markets where we can operate routes in a manner that is consistent with our cost strategy;

| · | continuous development and investment of airport infrastructure;

| · | maintain our high-level service notwithstanding the number of different ground transportation services and airport companies that we use in the course of our business;

| · | maintain satisfactory economic arrangements (including benefits) with our executives and our union;

| · | access sufficient gates, slots and other services at airports we currently serve or may seek to serve;

| · | obtain authorization of new routes;

| · | manage through, and have adequate response for, epidemics or pandemics;

| · | comply with environmental regulations;

| · | renew or maintain our Concessions, permits and authorizations;

| · | gain access to international routes;

| · | hire, train and retain qualified pilots, flight attendants, maintenance technicians, ground personnel and other strategic personnel;

| · | obtain financing to acquire new aircraft and in connection with our operations; and

| · | manage our fleet capacity when limited by external events such as: supply chain disruptions, recalls and inspections.

Our growth depends upon our ability to maintain a safe and secure operation. Failure to hire and retain trained personnel, maintain suitable arrangements with our union, timely secure the required equipment, facilities and airport services in a cost-effective manner, operate our business efficiently or obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals may adversely affect our ability to achieve our growth strategy, which could harm our business.

In addition, expansion to new international markets may have other risks due to factors specific to those markets. When entering new international markets, we may be unable to foresee all of the risks associated with such market or respond adequately to these risks, and our growth strategy and/or our business may suffer as a result. In addition, our competitors may reduce their fares and/or offer special promotions following our entry into a new market. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to profitably expand our existing markets or enter new markets.

Our target growth markets are in Mexico, the United States, Central and South America, including countries with less developed economies that may be vulnerable to more unstable economic and political conditions, such as significant fluctuations in GDP, interest and currency exchange rates, civil disturbances, government instability, nationalization and expropriation of private assets and the imposition of taxes or other charges by governments. The occurrence of any of these events in markets served by us may adversely affect our ability to implement our growth strategy.

Expansion of our markets and services may also strain our existing management resources and operational, financial and management information systems to the point that they may no longer be adequate to support our operations, requiring us to make significant expenditures in these areas. We currently expect that we will need to develop further financial, operational and management controls, reporting systems and procedures to accommodate future growth. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop these controls, systems or procedures on a timely basis or at all, and the failure to do so could harm our business.

Our ultra-low-cost structure is one of our primary competitive advantages and many factors could affect our ability to control our costs.

Our ultra-low-cost structure is one of our primary competitive advantages, but we have limited control over many of our costs. For example, we have limited control over the price and availability of fuel, aviation insurance, airport and related infrastructure taxes, tariffs, the cost of meeting changing regulatory requirements, and our cost to access capital or financing. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain a cost advantage over our competitors. If our cost structure increases and we are no longer able to maintain a cost advantage over our competitors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our fuel hedging strategy may not reduce our fuel costs.

Our fuel hedging policy allows us to enter into fuel derivative instruments to hedge against changes in fuel prices when we have excess cash available to support the costs of such hedges. As of December 31, 2024, we did have hedge positions for our projected fuel requirements for the first quarter of 2025 in the form of Asian Calls Options.

To the extent we decide to start a hedging program to hedge a portion of our future fuel requirements, such hedging program may not be successful in mitigating higher fuel costs and any price protection provided may be limited due to the choice of hedging instruments and market conditions, including breakdown of correlation between hedging instrument and market price of aircraft fuel and failure of hedge counterparties. To the extent that we decide to use hedge contracts that have the potential to create an obligation to pay upon settlement if fuel prices decline significantly, such hedge contracts may limit our ability to benefit fully from lower fuel prices in the future. If fuel prices decline significantly from the levels existing at the time we enter into a hedge contract, we may be required to post collateral (margin) beyond certain thresholds. There can be no assurance that our hedging arrangements, if any, would provide any particular level of protection against rises in fuel prices or that our counterparties will be able to perform under our hedging arrangements.

Furthermore, our ability to react to the cost of fuel is limited since we set the price of tickets in advance of incurring fuel costs. Our ability to pass on any significant increases in fuel costs through fare increases is also limited by our ULCC model. Additionally, deterioration in our financial condition could negatively affect our ability to enter into hedge contracts in the future. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to secure new fuel derivative contracts or transactions on terms which are commercially acceptable to us or at all.

We have a significant amount of fixed obligations that could impair our liquidity and thereby harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The airline business is capital intensive and, as a result, many airlines are highly leveraged. Most of our aircraft and spare engines are leased, and we paid the lessors rent and maintenance deposits aggregating U.S. $583.4 million and U.S. $16.8 million, respectively, in 2024, and have future operating lease obligations aggregating U.S. $3.1 billion over the next 12 years. In addition, we have significant obligations for aircraft and engines that we ordered from Airbus, IAE, and P&W, respectively, for delivery over the next seven years. Our ability to pay the fixed costs associated with our contractual obligations will depend on our operating performance and cash flow, which will in turn depend on, among other things, the success of our current business strategy, fuel prices, further weakening or improvement in the Mexican and U.S. economies, whether financing is available on reasonable terms or at all, as well as general economic and political conditions and other factors that are, to some extent, beyond our control. The amount of our aircraft related fixed obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and could:

| · | require a substantial portion of cash flow from our operations for operating lease and maintenance deposit payments, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

| · | limit our ability to make required pre-delivery deposit payments to Airbus for our aircraft on order;

| · | limit our ability to obtain additional financing to support our expansion plans and for working capital and other purposes on acceptable terms or at all;

| · | make it more difficult for us to pay our other obligations as they become due during adverse general economic and market industry conditions because any related decrease in revenues could cause us to not have sufficient cash flows from operations to make our scheduled payments;

| · | reduce our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the airline industry and, consequently, place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors with less fixed payment obligations; and

| · | cause us to lose access to one or more aircraft and forfeit our rent and purchase deposits if we are unable to make our required aircraft lease rental payments or purchase installments and our lessors exercise their remedies under the lease agreement including under cross default provisions in certain of our leases.

A failure to pay our operating leases and other fixed cost obligations or a breach of our contractual obligations could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including the exercise of remedies by our creditors and lessors. In such a situation, it is unlikely that we would be able to fulfill our obligations, make required lease payments or otherwise cover our fixed costs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Inability to obtain lease or debt financing for additional aircraft would impair our growth strategy.

We currently finance our aircraft through operating leases, as well as sale and leaseback arrangements. In the future, we may elect to own a portion of our fleet, as well as continue to lease aircraft through long-term operating leases. We may not be able to obtain lease or debt financing on terms attractive to us or at all. To the extent we cannot obtain such financing on acceptable terms or at all, we may be required to modify our aircraft acquisition plans or to incur higher than anticipated financing costs, which would have an adverse impact on the execution of our growth strategy and business.

Furthermore, upon the adoption of the Cape Town Treaty, an international treaty intended to standardize transactions for movable property such as aircraft and aircraft engines, Mexico selected the Alternative B insolvency provision, which gives more discretion to debtors and local courts to determine if and when defaults must be cured, or the aircraft returned to its owner or creditor. Mexico’s selection of this insolvency provision may limit our access to, or increase our costs of, financing in the event we elect to own a portion of our fleet. Uncertainty regarding the rights of creditors in a Mexican bankruptcy proceeding and the factors discussed above may inhibit our ability to lease or acquire new aircraft on attractive terms or at all, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to acquire an aircraft for which we have entered into a binding purchase agreement and fail to cancel the order or delay delivery of the aircraft, we would be in default under the related purchase agreement. Potential liability for damages in the event of such a default could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our limited lines of credit and borrowing facilities make us highly dependent upon our operating cash flows.

We have limited lines of credit and borrowing facilities and rely primarily on operating cash flows to provide working capital. Unless we secure additional lines of credit, borrowing facilities or equity financing, we will be dependent upon our operating cash flows to fund our operations and to make scheduled payments on our debt and other fixed obligations. If we fail to generate sufficient funds from our operations to meet these cash requirements or are unable to secure additional lines of credit, other borrowing facilities or equity financing, we could default on our debt and other fixed obligations. Our inability to meet our obligations as they become due would materially adversely affect our ability to grow and seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are highly dependent on the Mexico City, Tijuana, Guadalajara and Cancun airports for a large portion of our business.

Our business is heavily dependent on our routes to and from the Mexico City, Tijuana, Guadalajara and Cancun airports. Routes through these cities make up a large portion of our total routes. The Mexico City International Airport has been declared saturated since 2014, on August 31, 2023, the AFAC issued a resolution that further reduced the number of operations in the Mexico City International Airport to a maximum of 43 operations per hour, which took effect on January 8, 2024. In response, we reduced capacity at the Mexico City International Airport, redeploying six aircraft lines to other domestic airports by the end of 2024. We cannot guarantee that in the future we may maintain or obtain additional slots in Mexico City.

In addition, we cannot provide any kind of assurance with respect to the changes, risks and costs related to the operation of Mexico City’s Airport System (Sistema Aeroportuario de la Ciudad de México), including having to operate more than one airport in the Mexico City metropolitan area due to the opening of the Felipe Ángeles International Airport on March 21, 2022, which results in having to operate multiple airports within the catchment area of Mexico City metropolitan region. Any significant increase in competition, redundancy in demand for air transportation or disruption in service or the fuel supply at these airports, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The conditions affecting services at the airports or our slots in these cities, such as adverse changes in local economic or political conditions, negative public perception of these destinations, unfavorable weather conditions, violent crime or drug related activities, could also have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our maintenance costs will increase as our fleet ages.

As of December 31, 2024, the average age of our 143 aircraft in service was 6.4 years. Our relatively new aircraft require less maintenance now than they will in the future. Our fleet will require more maintenance as it ages and our maintenance and repair expenses for each of our aircraft will be incurred at approximately the same intervals. In addition, the terms of certain of our lease agreements require us to pay supplemental rent, also known as maintenance deposits, to be paid to the lessor in advance of the performance of major maintenance, resulting in our recording significant aircraft maintenance deposits on our statements of financial position. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we entered into a series of transactions designed to provide us with credit letters intended to fund aircraft maintenance deposits. The credit letters deposits increased overall from U.S. $138.2 million in 2023 to U.S. $216.5 million in 2024. We expect scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance expenses to increase as a percentage of our revenue over the next several years. Any significant increase in maintenance and repair expenses would have a material adverse effect on our margins and our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business could be harmed by a change in the availability or cost of air transport infrastructure and airport facilities.

The lack of adequate air transport infrastructure can have a direct adverse impact on our business operations, including our future expansion plans. The availability and cost of terminal space, slots and aircraft parking are critical to our operations. Additional ground and maintenance facilities, including gates, hangars and support equipment, will be required to operate additional aircraft in line with our expansion plans and may be unavailable in a timely or economic manner in certain airports. Our inability to lease, acquire or access airport facilities on reasonable terms, at preferred times or based upon adequate service, to support our operations and growth could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Further, the modernization of old airports and the construction of new airports may lead to increases in the costs of using airport infrastructure and facilities and may also result in an increase in related costs, such as landing charges. Such increases may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our ability to pass on such increased costs to our passengers is limited by several factors, including economic and competitive conditions.

We are exposed to increases in landing charges and other airport access fees and restrictions, and cannot be assured access to adequate facilities and landing rights necessary to achieve our expansion plans.

We must pay fees to airport operators for the use of their facilities. Any substantial increase in airport charges could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Passenger taxes and airport charges have also increased in recent years, sometimes substantially. We cannot assure you that the airports used by us will not impose, or further increase, passenger taxes and airport charges in the future, and any such increases could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Certain airports that we serve (or that we plan to serve in the future) are subject to capacity constraints and impose slot restrictions during certain periods of the day. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain a sufficient number of slots, gates and other facilities at airports to maintain or expand our services. It is also possible that airports not currently subject to capacity constraints may become so in the future. In addition, an airline must use its slots on a regular and timely basis or risks having those slots reallocated to other airlines. We may have to amend our schedules, change routes or reduce aircraft utilization slots or other airport resources are not available or their availability is restricted in some way, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, some of the airports we serve impose various restrictions, including limits on aircraft noise levels, limits on the number of average daily departures and curfews on runway use. We cannot assure you that airports at which there are no such restrictions may not implement restrictions in the future or that, where such restrictions exist, they may not become more onerous. Such restrictions may limit our ability to continue to provide or to increase services at such airports.

Our reputation and business could be adversely affected in the event of an emergency, accident or similar incident involving our aircraft.

We are exposed to potential significant losses and material adverse effects on our business in the event that any of our aircraft is subject to an emergency, accident, terrorist incident or other similar incident, and significant costs related to passenger claims, repairs or replacement of a damaged aircraft and its temporary or permanent loss from service. There can be no assurance that we will not be affected by such events, or that the amount of our insurance coverage will be adequate in the event such circumstances arise and any such event could cause a substantial increase in our insurance premiums. See “—Increases in insurance costs and/or significant reductions in coverage would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.” In addition, any future aircraft emergency, accident or similar incident, even if fully covered by insurance or even if it does not involve our airline, may create a public perception that our airline or the equipment we fly is less safe or reliable than other transportation alternatives, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to certain risks against which we do not have insurance.

In line with industry practice, we leave some business risks uninsured including business interruption, loss of profit, environmental/pollution liability or revenue and consequential business losses arising from mechanical breakdown. To the extent that uninsured risks materialize, we could be materially and adversely affected. There can also be no assurance that our insurance coverage will cover actual losses incurred. To the extent that actual losses incurred by us exceed the amount insured, we may have to bear substantial losses which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

A failure to comply with covenants contained in our aircraft or engine lease agreements, or the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, could have a negative impact on us and our financial condition and results of operations.

We have entered into aircraft and engine operating lease agreements, sale and leaseback arrangements and engine finance leases with various lessors. These agreements contain certain events of default and also require us to comply with certain covenants, including covenants triggered by a change of control, during the term of each agreement. The lease agreements generally provide for events of default if:

| · | we fail to obtain or maintain the insurance required;

| · | we breach any covenant or representation and warranty and do not cure it within the agreed time periods;

| · | we do not have unencumbered control or possession of the aircraft or engines;

| · | we discontinue (temporarily or otherwise) business or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

| · | we no longer possess the licenses, certificates and permits required for the conduct of our business as a certificated air carrier;

| · | Volaris Opco experiences a change of control;

| · | we fail to pay when due any airport or navigation charges or any landing fees assessed with respect to the aircraft or any aircraft operated by us which, if unpaid, may give rise to any lien, right of detention, right of sale or other security interest in relation to the aircraft or parts thereof;

| · | in case of certain insolvency events;

| · | if a material adverse change occurs in our financial condition which, in lessor’s reasonable opinion, would materially and adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations under the lease agreements and related documents: and

| · | if we fail to comply with sanctions and export control laws.

Failure to comply with covenants could result in a default under the relevant agreement, and ultimately in a re-possession of the relevant aircraft or engine. Certain of these agreements also contain cross default clauses, as a result of which defaults under one agreement may be treated as defaults under other lease agreements. As such, a failure to comply with the covenants in our aircraft and engine lease agreements, or the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, could have a negative impact on us and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on maintaining a high daily aircraft utilization rate to implement our ultra-low-cost structure, which makes us especially vulnerable to flight delays or cancellations or aircraft unavailability.

One of the key elements of our business strategy is to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate. Our average daily aircraft utilization was 13.28 block hours in 2022, 13.37 block hours in 2023, and 13.03 block hours in 2024. Aircraft utilization is the average amount of time per day that our aircraft spend carrying passengers. Our revenue per aircraft can be increased by high daily aircraft utilization, which is achieved in part by reducing turnaround times at airports, so we can fly more hours on average in a day. Aircraft utilization is reduced by delays and cancellations arising from various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including air traffic congestion at airports or other air traffic control problems, adverse weather conditions, increased security measures or breaches in security, international or domestic conflicts, terrorist activity, health outbreaks, changes to supply chain and demand conditions, quality issues related to our limited suppliers or other changes in business conditions. In addition, pulling aircraft out of service for unscheduled and scheduled maintenance, which will increase as our fleet ages, may materially reduce our average fleet utilization. High aircraft utilization increases the risk that if an aircraft falls behind schedule during the day, it could remain behind schedule during the remainder of that day and potentially into the next day, which can result in disruption in operating performance, leading to passenger dissatisfaction related to delayed or cancelled flights and missed connections. Due to the relatively small size of our fleet and high daily aircraft utilization rate, the unavailability of one or more aircraft and resulting reduced capacity or our failure to operate within time schedules, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The growth of our operations to the United States is dependent on continued favorable safety assessment in Mexico and the Central and South American countries in which we operate.

The FAA regularly conducts audits of foreign aviation regulatory authorities and assigns an IASA rating to each country, based on the country’s compliance with ICAO standards for safety oversight of civil aviation. Under the IASA rating system, Category 1 means the FAA has determined the country meets the ICAO standards, and Category 2 means the FAA has determined the country does not meet those standards. When a country is ranked Category 2, its airlines cannot add new service or routes to the United States or engage in code sharing arrangements involving the display of U.S. carrier designator codes. In February 2021, Costa Rica’s IASA rating was upgraded to Category 1 from Category 2, 21 months after it was downgraded due to alleged deficiencies in the Costa Rican air safety standards. In May 2021, Mexico’s IASA rating was downgraded from Category 1 to Category 2, and was upgraded back to Category 1 in September 2023. During the period of the downgrade, we were prevented from adding new services or routes to the United States or expanding our fleet of aircraft authorized to serve the United States. We cannot assure you that the governments of Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador, and the AFAC, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (Dirección General de Aviación Civil) of Costa Rica and the Civil Aviation Authority (Autoridad de Aviación Civil) of El Salvador in particular, or the aviation authorities in the Central and South American countries in which we operate, will continue to meet the ICAO standards. If the IASA ratings of Mexico or the other Central and South American countries in which we operate were to be downgraded in the future, it could restrict our ability to maintain or increase service to the United States (including but not limited to expanding the number of aircraft we operate to and from the United States), which would in turn adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We rely heavily on technology and automated systems to operate our business and any significant failure of or compromise to these technologies or systems their operators could materially harm our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We are highly dependent on technology and automated systems to operate our business and achieve low operating costs. These technologies and systems include our computerized airline reservation system, domain names system, revenue management system, flight operations system, enterprise resource planning system, human resources systems, maintenance systems, telecommunications, network, infrastructure, website, app, maintenance systems and check-in kiosks. To support our operations, for example, our website and reservation system must be able to accommodate a high volume of passengers, maintain secure information and deliver flight information, among other things. Substantially all of our tickets are issued to passengers as electronic tickets. We depend on our reservation system, which is hosted and maintained by third-party service providers, to be able to securely and reliably issue, track and process these electronic tickets. Any material failure, interruption, disruption, or security incident affecting these systems, whether due to internal issues, cyber threats, or third-party service providers disruptions, that adversely impact our ability to conduct business could result in material revenue loss and reputational harm. If our reservation system fails or experiences interruptions or denial of service and we are unable to book seats for a significant period of time, we could lose material amounts of revenues as customers book seats on competing airlines. We have experienced short duration reservation system outages from time to time and expect to experience similar outages in the future. Furthermore, if our flight operations system were to fail, our operations would be materially and adversely affected.

As our reliance on third-party technology providers increases, there is an inherent risk that service interruptions, software failures, or security vulnerabilities affecting these providers could have a material impact on our operations. For example, industry-wide incidents have already occurred that involved unintended software updates, misconfigurations, or cybersecurity breaches in third-party systems that led to widespread service disruptions. While we actively monitor and work with our technology partners to enhance system resilience and business continuity planning, we cannot eliminate the risk of disruptions originating from third-party providers. In the event of an extended system outage or operational failure, our ability to process reservations, manage flight operations, or provide customer service could be significantly affected and lead to material operational and financial consequences.

We rely on third-party service providers of other automated systems for technical support, software licensing, telecommunications, network, system maintenance, back-office systems and software upgrades. Significant service disruptions, malfunctions or delays with respect to these automated systems, including a failure to provide necessary hardware or software updates or technical support for any key systems could materially harm our business through the loss of important data, increased expenses and decreased revenues. In the event that one or more of our primary technology or systems’ vendors goes into bankruptcy, ceases operations or fails to perform as contemplated in the agreements, replacement services may not be readily available on a timely basis, at competitive rates or at all and any transition time to a new system may be significant.

In addition, our automated systems are subject to inherent risks including events beyond our control, including natural disasters, terrorist activities, hardware/software vulnerabilities, computer viruses, cybersecurity threats or incidents or telecommunications failures. A substantial or prolonged failure of our critical systems could lead to operational delays, service interruptions, or the inability to process reservations, potentially resulting in customers seeking alternatives with competing airlines. We have implemented security measures, back-up procedures, business continuity plans and disaster recovery plans; however, we cannot assure you that these measures are adequate to prevent disruptions or deflect cyberattacks or data breaches. Any of the foregoing could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, disruptions, modifications, or breaches affecting these systems—whether due to external threats, third-party service provider failures, or internal technical issues—could compromise operational efficiency, lead to the loss of sensitive data, and expose us to regulatory, financial, operational and reputational risks. Although we continuously assess and enhance our cybersecurity and business continuity strategies, we cannot guarantee that such measures will prevent or mitigate service interruptions or unauthorized access. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We rely on third-party service providers to perform functions integral to our operations.

We have entered into agreements with third-party service providers to furnish certain facilities and services required for our operations, including Lufthansa Technik AG (LHT) for certain technical services and Aeromantenimiento S.A. (“Aeroman”), a FAA-approved maintenance provider, for our heavy airframe and engine maintenance, as well as other third-party service providers, including the concessionaries’ of the Mexican airports in which we operate, for ground handling, catering, passenger handling, engineering, refueling and airport facilities as well as administrative and support services. We are likely to enter into similar service agreements in new markets we decide to enter, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary services at acceptable rates.

Although we seek to monitor the performance of third-party service providers, their efficiency, timeliness and quality of contract performance are often beyond our control, and any failure by any of them to perform their contracts may have an adverse impact on our business and operations. We expect to be dependent on such third-party arrangements for the foreseeable future.

Furthermore, our agreements with third parties are subject to termination upon short notice. The loss or expiration of these contracts or any inability to renew them or negotiate and enter into contracts with other providers at comparable rates could harm our business. Our reliance upon others to provide essential services on our behalf also gives us less control over costs, and the efficiency, timelines and quality of contract services.

Our processing, storage, use and disclosure of Personal Information, and any actual or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy and cybersecurity laws, could give rise to material liabilities that impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the processing of our customer transactions and otherwise running our business, we receive, process, transmit, and store substantial volumes of data that may be classified under various data privacy laws as “personal data,” “personal information,” or “personally identifiable information,” or similar terms under applicable data privacy laws (collectively, “Personal Information”). Personal Information includes sensitive categories of data (such as payment card information) managed by our reservation system provider, which purpose is to maintain compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This data is subject to legislation, regulation and other requirements intended to protect the privacy of Personal Information that is collected, processed and transmitted. In addition, we or our service providers collect, retain and otherwise process certain categories of Personal Information that are deemed particularly sensitive and subject to heightened legal protection and requirements, such as biometrical information received from customers.

As a result, we must comply with a complex proliferating and fast-evolving set of legal requirements in this area, including substantive cybersecurity standards requirements and obligations to notify as well as requirements for notifying regulators and affected individuals in the event of a data security incident. The regulatory environment is increasingly challenging and imposes obligations and risks on our business, including significantly expanded compliance burdens, costs and enforcement risks. For example, Mexico’s Federal Personal Data Protection Law (Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares), the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (and the United Kingdom’s equivalent regulation), and the California Consumer Privacy Act each impose data privacy and security requirements, imposing significant costs on us and carrying substantial fines and penalties for non-compliance. Similar regulations have been (and may in the future be) enacted by other countries and states, including in Central and South America. In addition, many of our commercial partners, including credit card companies, have imposed data security standards that we must meet. While we continue our efforts to meet these standards, new and revised standards may be imposed that may be difficult for us to meet and could increase our costs, and we may be liable to such commercial partners should any payment card information be accessed and misused as a result of a lack of sufficient security measures.

Additionally, in the event of a security incident, we could be held liable to our commercial partners for losses or penalties resulting from alleged deficiencies in our security measures.

Beyond regulatory compliance, our business depends on consumer trust in the security of our systems, particularly our online platforms through which we sell most of our tickets, and our ability to properly manage and protect Personal Information. Any failure to comply with applicable privacy laws or obligations—whether due to regulatory changes, enforcement actions, or cybersecurity incidents—could lead to significant financial, operational, and reputational harm. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to comply with existing privacy obligations or legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in our business practices or otherwise hinder our ability to grow our business. Furthermore, lawsuits may be initiated against us and our reputation may be negatively affected if we fail to comply with applicable law and privacy obligations.

We depend on our non-passenger revenue to remain profitable, and we may not be able to maintain or increase our non-passenger revenue base.

Our business strategy significantly relies upon our portfolio of non-passenger revenues, including ancillary products and services and cargo revenue, on which we depend to remain profitable due to our ULCC strategy of low base fares. There can be no assurance that passengers will pay for additional ancillary products and services or that passengers will continue to choose to pay for the ancillary products and services we currently offer. Failure to maintain our non-passenger revenues would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain and grow our non-passenger revenues, we may not be able to execute our strategy to continue to lower base fares in order to stimulate demand for air travel. In addition, our strategy to increase and develop non-passenger revenue by charging for additional ancillary services may be adversely perceived by our customers and negatively affect our business.

Restrictions on or increased taxes applicable to fees or other charges for ancillary products and services paid by airline passengers could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our non-passenger revenues are generated from (i) air travel-related services, (ii) revenues from non-air-travel related services and (iii) cargo services. Air travel-related services include but are not limited to fees charged for excess baggage, bookings through the call center or third-party agencies, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes, charters and passenger charges for no-show tickets. Revenues from non-passenger revenues mainly include, but are not limited to, commissions charged to third parties for the sale of trip insurance and other services. Additionally, services not directly related to air transportation include sales of V-Club memberships. Restrictions on or increased taxes applicable to fees or other charges for ancillary products and services paid by airlines passengers could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The DOT has implemented many rules that affect foreign air carriers. For example, DOT rules require that any airfare advertisement or other solicitation state the entire price to be paid by the consumer, including mandatory taxes, fees and carrier-imposed charges. DOT rules also require the disclosure of the cost of optional products and services, including baggage charges. The rules additionally restrict airlines from increasing ticket prices post-purchase (other than increases resulting from changes in government-imposed fees or taxes, the possibility of which must be disclosed to the consumer, and the consumer’s consent regarding same must be obtained, prior to purchase). Failure to remain in full compliance with these and other DOT rules may subject us to fines or other enforcement action, including requirements to modify our passenger reservations system, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In addition, the U.S. Congress and Federal administrative agencies have undertaken investigations of the airline industry practice of unbundling fees for optional services. If new taxes are imposed on non-passenger revenues, or if other laws or regulations are adopted that make unbundling of services impermissible or more cumbersome or expensive than the existing rules, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Congressional and other government agency scrutiny may also change industry practice or public willingness to pay for ancillary services. See also “—Compliance with airline industry regulations involves significant costs and regulations enacted in Mexico, the United States, Central America and South America may increase our costs significantly in the future.”

Changes in how we or others are permitted to operate at airports could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations may be affected by actions taken by the airports’ concessionaires, governmental or other agencies or authorities having jurisdiction over our operations at airports, including, but not limited to:

| · | termination of our airport use agreements, some of which can be terminated by the other party or airport authorities with little notice to us;

| · | international travel regulations such as customs and immigration;

| · | increases in taxes;

| · | allocation of slots;

| · | changes in the law that affect the services that can be offered by airlines in particular markets and at particular airports;

| · | strikes and other similar disruptions affecting airports;

| · | restrictions on competitive practices;

| · | hire, train and retain qualified pilots, flight attendants, maintenance technicians, ground personnel and other personnel;

| · | the adoption of statutes or regulations that impact customer service standards, including security and health standards and termination of licenses or concessions to operate airports; and

| · | the adoption of more restrictive locally-imposed noise regulations or curfews.

In general, any changes in airport operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for fuel, aircraft and engines.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for fuel, aircraft and engines. For domestic fuel, we purchase from ASA, where we do most of the fillings and GAFSACOMM. For our international destinations, we have entered into fuel supply agreements with suppliers such as World Fuel Services, AvFuel, Shell, BP Products North America, Chevron, Associated Energy Group, Puma Energy Group, Total Energies, Titan, Vitol and Terpel, pursuant to which those companies or their affiliates sell fuel to us at various airports as specified in the agreements. The agreements with ASA and GAFSACOMM expire on December 31, 2025, and October 10, 2025, respectively, and both can be terminated with 30-days prior notice. If ASA, GAFSACOMM or our other fuel providers offer fuel to one or more of our competitors at a more competitive price or with better terms, it may materially affect our ability to compete against other airlines and may have a material effect on our business. If ASA, GAFSACOMM or our other fuel providers terminate their agreements with us, are unwilling to renew them upon termination or are unable or unwilling to cover our fuel needs, we would have to seek alternative fuel sources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to find other fuel providers or whether we will be able to find one that provides fuel in such a cost-effective manner as our current agreements. Failure to renew agreements or to source fuel from alternate sources will materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

One of the elements of our business strategy is to save costs by operating an aircraft fleet consisting solely of Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft, narrow body aircraft, powered by engines manufactured by IAE, and P&W.

We currently intend to continue to rely exclusively on these aircraft and engine manufacturers for the foreseeable future.

Additionally, continuing global supply chain challenges, prior lockdown measures in China which slowed down the freight market, the invasion of Ukraine which resulted in international sanctions impacting a portion of the supply chain and potentially the Middle East conflict, among others, have caused and continues to cause shortages to the aircraft and engine manufactures, and as a result may impact our ability to receive aircraft and engines as planned. Our growth plans and operations could be materially affected as a result of the delays caused by shortages.

Furthermore, if any of Airbus, IAE or P&W is unable to perform its contractual obligations, or if we are unable to acquire or lease aircraft or engines or spare parts from other owners, operators or lessors on acceptable terms, we would have to find other suppliers for a similar type of aircraft, engine or spare parts. If we have to lease or purchase aircraft from another supplier, we would lose the significant benefits we derive from our current single fleet composition. We may also incur substantial transition costs, including costs associated with retraining our employees, replacing our manuals and adapting our facilities and maintenance programs. Our operations could also be materially affected by the failure or inability of aircraft, engine and parts suppliers to provide sufficient spare parts or related support services on a timely basis.

Any real or perceived problem with the Airbus A320 family aircraft or IAE and P&W engines could adversely affect our operations.

We operate a uniform fleet of Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft, which belong to the Airbus A320 family aircraft. Our aircraft also exclusively use IAE and P&W engines. Our dependence on the Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft and IAE and P&W engines makes us particularly vulnerable to any problems that might be associated with the Airbus A320 family aircraft or engines. If any design defect or mechanical problem is discovered, or if the technology relating to such aircraft or engine should become obsolete, our aircraft may have to be grounded while such defect or problem is corrected, assuming it could be corrected at all. Any such defect or problem may also result in aviation authorities in Mexico and the United States implementing certain airworthiness directives which may require substantial cost to comply with. Further, our operations could be materially adversely affected if passengers avoid flying with us as a result of an adverse perception of the Airbus A320 family aircraft or IAE and P&W engines due to real or perceived safety concerns or other problems. Since 2017, P&W’s GTF engines have experienced technical and production issues worldwide. As a result, several A320neo operators, including us, have reportedly caused their aircraft to be inoperative for long periods of time. This problem has also resulted in the delay of delivery of our A320 and A321neo aircraft. We cannot assure you when such problems will be resolved by P&W.

Since the third quarter of 2023, we are subject to the removal of certain GTF P&W engines for preventive accelerated inspections. Consequently, the Company’s GTF engines are being reviewed to ensure compliance with these requirements. The Company currently expects each removed engine to take approximately 365 days to complete a shop visit and return to a serviceable condition and expects the number of service aircraft to rise during 2024, 2025 and 2026. The engine removals, including but not limited to a reduction in capacity, could adversely impact our future operations and financial results.

We are vulnerable to cyberattacks and other cyber-incidents involving our IT Systems and Confidential Information that could materially impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We rely on computer systems, hardware, software, technology infrastructure and online sites and networks for both internal and external operations that are critical to our business (collectively, “IT Systems”). We own and manage some of these IT Systems but also rely on third parties for a range of IT Systems and related products and services. We and certain of our third-party service providers collect, maintain, and process data about customers, employees, business partners and others, including Personal Information, as well as proprietary information belonging to our business such as trade secrets (collectively, “Confidential Information”). We face constants cybersecurity threats he confidentiality, integrity and availability of our IT Systems and Confidential Information, which could impose material financial losses and reputational harm due to equipment failures and operational disruptions, among other things.

The continued spread, sophistication and destructiveness of cyberattacks involving critical infrastructure, particularly as remote working and automation increase, may affect our ability to operate our networks and as a result of such events, even for a limited period of time, may result in significant expenses or loss of market share to other airlines. The increasing reliance on remote work, automation, and artificial intelligence further introduces new cybersecurity risks, some of which may not yet be fully understood or mitigated. Moreover, any integration of artificial intelligence in our or any service providers’ operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges.

Cyber threats—including malware, ransomware, computer viruses, phishing denial-of-service attacks, and other advanced techniques—have grown in frequency, sophistication, and severity. Threat actors are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence and other evolving technologies to bypass security controls, evade detection, and erase forensic evidence, making it more challenging to identify, investigate, and remediate cyber incidents. Additionally, cyber risks arise from vulnerabilities in open-source or commercial software integrated into our IT Systems or those of our suppliers and service providers. Despite ongoing efforts to monitor, identify, and remediate security vulnerabilities, the complexity and scale of modern IT environments make it impractical to eliminate all risks. While we constantly experience cyber threats, attacks, and incidents (such as phishing and social engineering attacks, denial-of-service attacks, ransomware attempts, and attacks and breaches experienced by our third-party services providers), to date, no incidents have had a material impact on our operations or financial results; however, we cannot guarantee that future cyber threats and incidents will not result in material adverse effects on our operation or financial results.

As a result, we may be unable to detect, investigate, remediate or recover from future attacks or incidents, or to avoid a material adverse impact to our IT Systems, Confidential Information or business. We implement cybersecurity measures, policies, and controls designed to mitigate these risks and protect our IT Systems and Confidential Information.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management framework—including governance practices, security protocols, and response procedures—will be effective or complied with across all areas of our operations. A successful cyber-attack or security breach could result in material adverse effect in our financial results and operations, including increased remediation and restoration costs, and cybersecurity expenses, regulatory investigations, litigation (including class action lawsuits), reputational damage, lost revenues from business disruption, and potential loss of customers and business partners. Furthermore, unauthorized access to sensitive information—such as financial data, payment details, or employee and customer Confidential Information—could undermine consumer and investor confidence and lead to significant regulatory penalties or contractual liabilities that materially impact our financial condition. Finally, we cannot guarantee that any costs and liabilities incurred in relation to an attack or incident will be covered by our existing insurance policies or that applicable insurance will be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms or at all.

We use AI Technologies in our business, and the deployment, use and maintenance of these technologies involve technological and legal risks.

We use artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning technologies (collectively, “AI Technologies”) in our business, and continue to invest in this area. For example, we use AI Technologies to power Vane, a chatbot that is trained to provide support to our customers, such as with their upcoming travel or to answer questions about our travel policies. We are also exploring other ways to use AI Technologies in our business operations, such as for customer service enhancements, demand forecasting, and internal process automation.

As with many technological innovations, there are significant risks involved in developing, maintaining and deploying these technologies and there can be no assurance that the usage of or our investments in such technologies will always enhance our products or services or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability.

In particular, if the models underlying the AI Technologies we use are: incorrectly designed or implemented; trained or reliant on incomplete, inadequate, inaccurate, biased or otherwise poor quality data; used without sufficient oversight and governance to ensure their responsible use; and/or adversely impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, cybersecurity threats or material performance issues, the performance of our business, as well as our reputation, could suffer or we could incur liability resulting from the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party or civil claims.

We use AI Technologies licensed from third parties. If any such third-party AI Technologies become incompatible with our solutions or unavailable for use, or if the providers of such models unfavorably change the terms on which their AI Technologies are offered or terminate their relationship with us, our solutions may become less appealing to our customers and our business will be harmed. In addition, to the extent any third-party AI Technologies are used as a hosted service, any disruption, outage, or loss of information through such hosted services could disrupt our operations or solutions, damage our reputation, cause a loss of confidence in our solutions, or result in legal claims or proceedings, for which we may be unable to recover damages from the affected provider.

Moreover, the regulatory framework for AI Technologies is rapidly evolving as many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws and regulations. Additionally, existing laws and regulations may be interpreted in ways that would affect our ability to develop or deploy AI Technologies. As a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet determine the impact future laws, regulations, standards, or market perception of their requirements may have on our business and may not always be able to anticipate how to respond to these laws or regulations.

Political, social and geopolitical events, possible changes in public policies and other risks in some of the countries where we operate, which are inherent to the operations of an international company, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

We are exposed to the circumstances prevalent in the countries in which we operate. Although the majority of our revenue originates from our Mexican domestic operations, we also conduct an important part of our operations in the United States and Central and South America. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 38% of our total revenues were attributable to international operations. Like other companies with international operations, political, economic, geopolitical or social developments in the countries where we operate or elsewhere, such as elections, new governments, changes in public policy, economic circumstances, laws and/or regulations, trade policies, political agreements or disagreements, civil disturbances and a rise in violence or the perception of violence, could have a material adverse effect in the countries where we operate or on the global financial markets, and in turn on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

A change in federal or national government or its conditions and the political party in control of the legislature in any of the countries in which we operate could result in changes to the countries’ economic, political, or social conditions, and in changes to laws, regulations and public policies, which may contribute to economic uncertainty or adverse business conditions and could also materially impact our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Similarly, if no political party wins a clear majority in the legislative bodies of these countries, legislative gridlock and political and economic uncertainty may continue or result.

These and other political, economic, social and geopolitical issues have the potential to materially and adversely impact the global economy, financial markets and the overall stability of the countries and regions in which we operate and, in turn, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel or fail to maintain our company culture, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

We require large numbers of pilots, flight attendants, maintenance technicians and other personnel, and our growth strategy will require us to hire, train and retain a significant number of new employees in the future. The airline industry has from time to time experienced a shortage of qualified personnel, particularly with respect to pilots and maintenance technicians. This has been particularly acute for Mexico. Retaining and recruiting people with the appropriate skills is particularly challenging as the economy in general, and the airline industry in particular, resulting in competition for the human resources necessary to operate our business successfully. We may be required to increase wages and/or benefits or to implement additional training programs in order to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we are unable to hire, train and retain qualified employees, our business could be adversely affected and we may be unable to complete our growth plans. In addition, the airline industry has, from time to time, experienced a shortage of qualified personnel and employee turnover may occur from time to time, which may not always be predictable. When we experience higher turnover, our training costs may be higher due to the significant amount of time required to train each new employee and, in particular, each new pilot. We cannot be certain that we will be able to recruit, train and retain the qualified employees that we need to replace departing employees and continue our current operations. If we are unable to hire, train and retain qualified employees, our business could be adversely affected and we may be unable to successfully complete our growth plans.

In addition, as we hire new employees, it may be increasingly challenging to maintain our company culture. Our company culture, which is one of our competitive strengths, is important to providing high-quality customer service and having a productive, accountable workforce that helps keep our costs low. As our operations and geographic diversity continue to grow, we may be unable to identify, hire or retain enough people who meet the above criteria, including those in management or other key positions. If we fail to maintain the strength of our company culture, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Increased labor costs, union disputes, employee strikes, and other labor-related disruption may adversely affect our operations.

Our business is labor intensive, with labor costs representing 10%, 13%, and 15% of our total operating expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, 73% of our workforce was represented by the general aviation union (Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Industria Aeronaútica, Similares y Conexos de la República Mexicana-STIAS) and thereby covered by substantially the same collective bargaining agreement entered into between us and each of our subsidiaries. The collective bargaining agreements are negotiated every two years in respect of general labor conditions and every year in connection with wages. Our current agreements with this union will expire in February 2028 with respect to salaries and benefits. The terms and conditions of our future collective bargaining agreements may be affected by the results of collective bargaining negotiations at other airlines that may have a greater ability, due to larger scale, greater efficiency or other factors, to bear higher costs than we can. We cannot assure you that our labor costs going forward will remain competitive because in the future our labor agreements may be amended and new agreements could have terms with higher labor costs or more onerous conditions, one or more of our competitors may significantly reduce their labor costs, thereby reducing or eliminating our comparative advantages as to one or more of such competitors, or our labor costs may increase in connection with our growth. Traditionally, the relationship between Mexican legacy carriers and their unions has been complex. We may also become subject to additional collective bargaining agreements in the future as non-unionized workers may unionize or unionized workers may decide to join a different union. If we are unable to reach agreement with any of our unionized work groups on future negotiations regarding the terms of their collective bargaining agreements, we may be subject to work interruptions or stoppages. Any such action or other labor dispute with unionized employees (including negotiation of more onerous conditions), or the deterioration of the relationship between unions and businesses in Mexico, could disrupt our operations, reduce our profitability, or interfere with the ability of our management to focus on executing our business strategies.

Furthermore, changes in labor laws, such as the amendments to Mexican labor laws and other related regulations regarding labor subcontracting in Mexico, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if we lose the services of our key personnel.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of our senior management team and key financial and operating personnel. Competition for highly qualified personnel is intense, and the loss of any executive officer, senior manager or other key employee without adequate replacement or the inability to attract new qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Experienced executives in the airline industry are difficult to source. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on our management team.

Our results of operations will fluctuate.

The airline industry is by nature cyclical and seasonal, and our operating results can be expected to vary from quarter to quarter. We generally expect demand to be greater during the summer months in the northern hemisphere, in December and around Easter, which can fall either in the first or second quarter, compared to the rest of the year. We generally experience our lowest levels of passenger traffic in February, September and October. Given our high proportion of fixed costs, seasonality can affect our profitability from quarter to quarter. Demand for air travel is also affected by factors such as economic conditions, war or the threat of war, fare levels, security and health concerns and weather conditions.

In addition, we expect our quarterly operating results to fluctuate in the future based on a variety of other factors, including:

| · | the timing and success of our growth plans as we increase flights in existing markets and enter new markets;

| · | changes in fuel, security, health and insurance costs;

| · | increases in personnel, marketing, aircraft ownership and other operating expenses to support our anticipated growth; and

| · | the timing and amount of maintenance expenditures.

Due to the factors described above and others described in this annual report, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating results may not be good indicators of our future performance. In addition, it is possible that in any quarter our operating results could be below the expectations of investors and any published reports or analyses regarding our company. In that event, the price of the ADSs could decline, perhaps substantially.

We do not have a control group.

Since the completion of our initial public offering on September 23, 2013, we have not had a control group and corporate decisions requiring shareholder approval, such as the election of a majority of the board of directors, are made by the majority of our Series A shareholders, which shares are required to be owned by Mexican nationals. We do not have a control group because holders of ADSs and CPOs do not have voting rights, and the CPOs and ADSs are voted by the CPO trustee in the same manner as the majority of the holders of Series A shares that are not represented by CPOs or ADSs. Thus, there are no large groups holding a large block. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a significant block of shareholders will form in the future because no person or group of persons is permitted to acquire more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock without our board of directors’ consent. As a result, a shareholder or shareholders of a very small number of Series A shares could determine the outcome of any shareholder vote without being a control group.

We are a holding company and do not have any material assets other than the shares of our subsidiaries and our trademarks.

We are a holding company and conduct our operations through a series of operating subsidiaries. We support these operating subsidiaries with technical and administrative services through various other subsidiaries. All of the assets we use to perform administrative and technical services and to operate the concessions and authorizations are held at the subsidiary level. As a result, we do not have any material assets other than the shares of our subsidiaries and our trademarks. Dividends or payments that we may be required to make will be subject to the availability of cash provided by our subsidiaries. Transfers of cash from our subsidiaries to us may be further limited by corporate and legal requirements, or by the terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness. If a shareholder were to assert a claim against us, the enforcement of any related judgment would be limited to our available assets, rather than our assets and our combined subsidiaries.

Changes in accounting standards could impact our reported earnings.

The accounting standard setters and other regulatory bodies periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Any change made to accounting standards can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in the restatement of prior period financial statements.

Risks related to our securities and the ADSs

The trading prices for the ADSs and our Series A shares may fluctuate significantly.

Future trading prices of the ADSs or Series A shares may be volatile, and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including:

| · | changes in the market valuation of companies that provide similar services;

| · | economic, regulatory, political and market conditions in Mexico, the United States and other countries;

| · | industry conditions or trends;

| · | availability of routes and airport space;

| · | the introduction of new services by us or by our competitors;

| · | real or perceived health and safety standards in air travel and related services;

| · | our historical and anticipated quarterly and annual operating results;

| · | variations between our actual or anticipated results and analyst and investor expectations;

| · | announcements by us or others and developments affecting our business;

| · | changes in technology affecting our aircraft;

| · | announcements, results or actions taken by our competitors;

| · | investors’ perceptions of us or the services we provide;

| · | changes in financial or economic estimates by securities analysts;

38

Table of Contents

| · | our announcement of significant transactions or capital commitments;

| · | currency devaluations and imposition of capital controls;

| · | additions or departures of key management;

| · | future sales of the ADSs and Series A shares;

| · | strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

| · | accidents, health concerns, pandemics, and other events affecting airline operations;

| · | media reports and publications about the safety of our aircraft or the aircraft type we operate;

| · | changes in the price of fuel;

| · | announcements concerning the availability and reliability of the type of aircraft or engines we use;

| · | changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs;

| · | changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts or failure to meet analysts’ performance expectations; or

| · | sales of our common stock or other actions by investors with significant shareholdings.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. Broad market and industry factors could materially and adversely affect the market price of the ADSs and Series A shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.

The stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These types of broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Series A shares and ADSs. In the past, stockholders have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Any such litigation against us could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and harm our business or results of operations.

The relatively low liquidity and high volatility of the Mexican securities market may cause trading prices and volumes of our Series A shares and the ADSs to fluctuate significantly.

The Mexican Stock Exchange is one of Latin America’s largest exchanges in terms of aggregate market capitalization of the companies listed therein, but it remains relatively illiquid and volatile compared to other major foreign stock markets. Although the public participates in the trading of securities on the Mexican Stock Exchange, a substantial portion of trading activity on the Mexican Stock Exchange is conducted by or on behalf of large institutional investors. The trading volume for securities issued by emerging market companies, as Mexican companies, tends to be lower than the trading volume of securities issued by companies in more developed countries. These market characteristics may limit the ability of a holder of our Series A shares to sell its Series A shares and may also adversely affect the market price of the Series A shares and, as a result, the market price of the ADSs.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

If we issue additional equity securities in the future, shareholders may suffer dilution, and trading prices for our securities may decline.

In connection with our business strategy of expanding through acquisitions, we may finance corporate needs and expenditures, or future transactions, by issuing additional capital stock. Any such issuances of capital stock would result in the dilution of shareholders’ ownership stake. In addition, future issuances of our equity securities or sales by our shareholders or management, or the announcement that we or they intend to make such an issuance or sale, could result in a decrease in the market price of the ADSs and Series A shares.

Provisions of Mexican law and our by-laws make a takeover more difficult, which may impede the ability of holders of Series A shares or ADSs to benefit from a change in control or to change our management and board of directors.

Provisions of Mexican law and our by-laws may make it difficult and costly for a third party to pursue a tender offer or other takeover attempt resulting in a change of control. Holders of ADSs may desire to participate in one of these transactions but may not have an opportunity to do so. For example, our by-laws contain provisions which, among other things, require board approval prior to any person or group of persons acquiring, directly or indirectly, (i) 5% or more of our shares (whether directly or by acquiring ADSs or CPOs), or (ii) 20% or more of our shares (whether directly or by acquiring ADSs or CPOs) and in the case of this item (iii) if such approval is obtained, require the acquiring person to make a tender offer to purchase 100% of our shares and CPOs (or other securities that represent them) at a substantial premium over the market price of our shares to be determined by the board of directors, based upon the advice of a financial advisor.

These provisions could substantially impede the ability of a third party to control us, and be detrimental to shareholders desiring to benefit from any change of control premium paid on the sale of the company in connection with a tender offer. See Item 10: “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association—Overview—Change of Control Provisions” and “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association—Overview—Voting Rights.”

Substantial sales of the ADSs or Series A shares could cause the price of the ADSs or Series A shares to decrease.

We may finance future corporate needs and expenditures by using shares of Series A common stock, to be evidenced by Series A shares, CPOs or ADSs. Any such issuances of such shares could result in a dilution of your ownership stake or a decrease in the market price of the ADSs or the Series A shares. In addition, our principal shareholders are entitled to rights with respect to registration of their shares under the Securities Act, pursuant to the registration rights agreement we have on file with the SEC. See Item 7: “Major Shareholders and related Party Transactions—Major Shareholders.” For example, on December 11, 2020 we completed a primary follow-on equity offering in which we offered 134,000,000 CPOs, in the form of ADSs, at a price to the public of U.S. $11.25 per ADS in the United States and other countries outside of Mexico, pursuant to our shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. In connection with that offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase up to 20,100,000 additional CPOs in the form of ADSs, for a total offering of 154,100,000 CPOs in the form of ADSs. The securities issued pursuant to the offering are eligible for trading in the public market, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Series A shares and ADSs.

Non-Mexican investors may not hold our Series A shares directly and must have them held in a CPO trust, which releases CPOs underlying Series A shares, at all times.

Each ADS represents ten CPOs and each CPO represents a financial interest in one Series A share. Non-Mexican investors in the ADSs may not directly hold the underlying Series A shares, but may hold them only indirectly through CPOs issued and released by a Mexican bank as trustee under the CPO trust or ADSs evidencing CPOs. Upon expiration of the 50-year term of our CPO trust agreement, the underlying Series A shares must be placed in a new trust similar to the current CPO trust for non-Mexican investors to hold an economic interest (but no voting rights) in such Series A shares, or be sold to third parties or be delivered to non-Mexican holders to the extent then permitted by applicable law (not currently permitted).

We cannot assure you that a new trust similar to the CPO trust will be created if the current CPO trust terminates, or that, if necessary, the Series A shares represented by the CPOs will be sold at an adequate price, or that Mexican law will be amended to permit the transfer of Series A shares to non-Mexican holders in the event that the trust is terminated. In that event, unless Mexican law has changed to permit non-Mexican investors to hold our shares directly, non-Mexican holders may be required to cause all of the Series A shares represented by the CPOs to be sold to a Mexican individual or corporation.

We have obtained authorization from the Mexican Ministry of Economy (Secretaría de Economía) for the issuance up to 90% of our outstanding capital stock in CPOs. Since non-Mexican investors are required to invest in CPOs in order to hold a financial interest in our capital stock, if this 90% threshold were to be met, we would be unable to obtain additional capital contributions from non-Mexican investors, or we would be required to obtain a new authorization from the Mexican Ministry of Economy (Secretaría de Economía) for the issuance of more than 90% of our outstanding capital stock in CPOs. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain such authorization.

Holders of the ADSs and CPOs have no voting rights.

Holders of the ADSs and CPOs are not entitled to vote the underlying Series A shares. As a result, holders of the ADSs and CPOs do not have any influence over the decisions made relating to our company’s business or operations, nor are they protected from the results of any such corporate action taken by our holders of Series A shares. Mexican investors determine the outcome of substantially all shareholder matters. For a more complete description of the circumstances under which holders of our securities may vote, see Item 10: “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association—Overview.”

Preemptive rights may be unavailable to non-Mexican holders of the ADSs and CPOs and, as a result, such holders may suffer dilution.

Except in certain limited circumstances, under Mexican law, if we issue new shares of common stock for cash as part of a capital increase, we must grant our shareholders the right to subscribe and pay for a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage in our company. Rights to subscribe and pay for shares in these circumstances are known as preemptive rights. We may not legally be permitted to allow holders of ADSs and CPOs in the United States to exercise any preemptive rights in any future capital increase unless we file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to that future issuance of shares or the offering qualifies for an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and take certain corporate steps, including the publication of a preemptive rights notice in Mexico. Similar restrictions may apply to holders of ADSs and CPOs in other jurisdictions. We cannot assure you that we will file a registration statement with the SEC, or any other regulatory authority, to allow holders of ADSs and CPOs in the United States, or any other jurisdiction, to participate in a preemptive rights offering. At the time of any future capital increase, we will evaluate the costs and potential liabilities associated with filing a registration statement with the SEC and any other factors that we consider important to determine whether we will file such a registration statement. Under Mexican law, sales by the depositary of preemptive rights and distribution of the proceeds from such sales to you, the ADS holders, is not possible.

In addition, additional CPOs may be released only if the CPO deed permits the release of a number of CPOs sufficient to represent the shares to be issued to and held by the CPO trustee upon the exercise of preemptive rights. Because non-Mexican holders of ADSs and CPOs are not entitled to acquire direct ownership of the underlying Series A shares in respect of such ADSs and CPOs, they may not be able to exercise their preemptive rights if the CPO deed will not permit additional CPOs to be delivered in an amount sufficient to represent the shares of common stock to be issued as a result of the exercise of preemptive rights on behalf of non-Mexican ADS or CPO holders, unless the CPO deed is modified, or a new CPO deed is entered into, which permits delivery of the number of CPOs necessary to represent the shares to be subscribed and paid as a result of the exercise of such preemptive rights. Although we expect to take all measures necessary to maintain sufficient CPOs available to permit non-Mexican holders of ADSs and CPOs to exercise preemptive rights, if and when applicable, no assurances can be made that we will be able to do so, particularly because regulatory approvals in Mexico are necessary for the issuance and delivery of CPOs. As a result of the limitations described above, if we issue additional shares in the future in connection with circumstances giving rise to preemptive rights, the equity interests of holders of ADSs and CPOs may be diluted. See Item 10: “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association—Preemptive Rights.”

We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, and our revolving line of credit with Banco Santander México and Bancomext may limit our ability to declare and pay dividends.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, will require the approval of our general shareholders meeting, may only be paid if losses for prior fiscal years have been paid and if shareholders have approved the net income from which the dividends are paid and legal reserves have been created to the required levels, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in current or future financing instruments and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

In addition, our revolving line of credit with Banco Santander México (“Santander”) and Banco Nacional de Comercio Exterior, S.N.C. (“Bancomext”), may limit our ability to declare and pay dividends in the event that we fail to comply with the payment terms thereunder. See Item 5: “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Loan Agreements” and Item 8: “Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy.”

Minority shareholders may be less able to enforce their rights against us, our directors, or our controlling shareholders in Mexico.

Under Mexican law, the protections afforded to minority shareholders are different from those afforded to minority shareholders in the United States. For example, because Mexican laws concerning fiduciary duties of directors (i.e., the duty of care and the duty of loyalty, the only duties recognized under Mexican law) have been in existence for a relatively short period of time and the laws concerning such duties are not as developed as the laws in the United States, it is more difficult for minority shareholders to bring an action for breach of fiduciary duties in Mexico as compared to the United States. Also, such actions may not be initiated as a direct action, but as a shareholder derivative suit (that is for the benefit of our company and not the initiating shareholder). The grounds for shareholder derivative actions under Mexican law are limited. Even though applicable law has been modified to permit shareholder derivative actions, and procedures for class action lawsuits have been adopted in Mexico, there is very limited precedent with regards to such class action lawsuits and how procedures for such suits are followed in Mexico. Therefore, it will be much more difficult for our minority shareholders to enforce their rights against us, our directors, or our controlling shareholders than it would be for minority shareholders of a U.S. company.

Mexico has different corporate disclosure and accounting standards than those in the United States and other countries.

A principal objective of the securities laws of the United States, Mexico and other countries is to promote full and fair disclosure of all material corporate information, including accounting information. However, there may be different or less publicly available information about issuers of securities in Mexico than is regularly made available by public companies in countries with highly developed capital markets, including the United States.

Our interest rate expense for any particular period will fluctuate based on SOFR and TIIE .

In November 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the FCA-regulated and authorized administrator of LIBOR, announced that starting 2022, LIBOR will no longer be used to issue new loans, and the last rates were published on June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all our US dollar financing facilities at floating rate are referenced to SOFR.

A portion of our long-term indebtedness/derivative instruments bear interest at fluctuating interest rates, which may be based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, SOFR, and the Tasa de Interés Interbanciaria de Equilibrio, TIIE. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. TIIE is determined by the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de México) based on quotes presented by credit institutions. We have not hedged our interest rate exposure with respect to our floating rate debt, except for TIIE. Accordingly, our interest expense for any period will fluctuate based on SOFR and TIIE. To the extent the interest rates applicable to our floating rate debt increase, our expenses may increase accordingly. As a result, our available cash flow for general corporate purposes may be impacted. As of December 31, 2024, a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities bear interest based on SOFR. See Item 11: “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk—Interest Rates.”

If we are classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”), holders of our ADSs subject to U.S. federal income taxation may realize adverse tax consequences.

We would be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year if, after the application of certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of our subsidiaries, either: (1) 75% or more of our gross income for such taxable year is “passive income” (as defined in the relevant provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), or (2) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of our assets (which may be determined in part by our market capitalization, which is subject to change) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income includes, subject to certain exceptions, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, gains from commodities and securities transactions, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such passive income, net foreign currency gains and amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds. Based on the market price of our ADSs and the composition of our income, assets and operations, we do not believe that we were classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2024. However, this is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or for any future taxable year. Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder (as discussed in more detail in “Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) if we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs.

ITEM 4 INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

| A. | History and Development of the Company

We were founded on October 27, 2005 under the name Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A. de C.V. by Blue Sky Investments, S.à r.l., Discovery Air Investments, L.P., Corporativo Vasco de Quiroga, S.A. de C.V. and Sinca Inbursa, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad de Inversión de Capitales.

On July 16, 2010, we became a variable capital investment promotion stock corporation (sociedad anónima promotora de inversión de capital variable). In June 2013, we became a variable capital public stock corporation (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable), under the name Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. See Item 9: “The Offer and Listing—Markets—The Mexican Stock Market—Mexican Securities Market Law” for a description of the differences between these two forms of legal entities.

On September 23, 2013, we and certain of our shareholders completed a dual-listing initial public offering on the NYSE and the Mexican Stock Exchange. We raised approximately U.S. $207.7 million of gross proceeds from the global offering of 173,076,910 Series A shares, consisting of (i) an offering of Series A shares in Mexico and (ii) a concurrent international offering of CPOs in the form of ADSs in the United States and other countries outside of Mexico, at a public offering price of U.S. $1.20 dollars per share or U.S. $12.00 per ADS. Each ADS represents ten CPOs and each CPO represents a financial interest in one of our Series A shares. The Series A shares were listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “VOLAR” and the ADSs were listed on NYSE under the trading symbol “VLRS.” The Series A shares and ADSs began trading on September 18, 2013.

On December 11, 2020, pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form F-3 and the pre-effective Amendment No. 1 to Form F-3 filed with the SEC, we sold 134,000,000 CPOs in the form of ADSs at a price to the public of U.S. $11.25 per ADS in the United States and other countries outside of Mexico. In connection with that offering, the underwriters also exercised their option in full to purchase 20,100,000 additional CPOs in the form of ADSs, for a total offering of 154,100,000 CPOs in the form of ADSs.

Overview

We are a ULCC incorporated under the laws of Mexico. Our primary corporate offices and headquarters are located in Mexico City at Av. Antonio Dovalí Jaime No. 70, 13th Floor, Tower B, Colonia Zedec Santa Fe, Mexico City, Mexico, zip code 01210. Our agent in the United States is Puglisi & Associates, located at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711. Our telephone number is +52-55-5261-6400.

Since we began operations in 2006, we have increased our routes from five to more than 250 and grown our cost-efficient Airbus A320 family aircraft from four to 143 as of December 31, 2024. We currently operate up to 550 average daily flight segments on routes that connect 44 cities in Mexico, 23 cities in the United States, four cities in Central America and two cities in South America.

We have substantial market presence in the top airports in Mexico (based on number of passengers): Cancun, Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Tijuana. The main U.S. cities we currently serve are home to some of the most populous Mexican communities in the United States based on data from the Pew Hispanic Research Center.

Additionally, our operating subsidiary in Costa Rica, Vuela Aviación, began operations on December 1, 2016, and our operating subsidiary in El Salvador, Vuela El Salvador, began operations on September 15, 2021. We seek to replicate our ultra-low-cost model in Central and South America by offering low base fares and point-to-point service in the region.

In addition, on January 16, 2018, we signed a codeshare agreement with U.S. ULCC Frontier, which started operations on August 23, 2018. We expect this agreement and collaboration, one of the first ever between ULCCs, to open additional ultra-low fare travel options between Mexico and the United States. In particular, we currently serve 23 destinations in the United States and 44 in Mexico, of which 18 coincide with Frontier destinations in both countries.

We are one of the lowest unit cost publicly traded operators worldwide, based on CASM. In 2024, our CASM was U.S. $8.03 cents, compared to an average non-stage-length adjusted CASM of U.S. $10.29 cents for the other Latin American publicly traded airlines, including Azul, Copa, and LATAM. We also have lower costs than our U.S.-based publicly traded target market competitors, including Alaska, Frontier, Spirit, American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Allegiant and United, which had an average non-stage-length adjusted CASM of U.S. $14.61 cents in 2024. With our ULCC business model, we have grown significantly while maintaining a low CASM over the last several years. We have achieved this through our efficient and uniform fleet, high asset utilization, our emphasis on direct sales and distribution and our variable, performance-based compensation structure. We have a relentless focus on low costs as part of our organizational culture, and we believe that we can further control our lower CASM by deploying additional Airbus A320neo family aircraft and leveraging our existing infrastructure to drive economies of scale. We believe that our unit cost advantage will allow us to continue stimulating market demand by lowering base fares and to increase non-passenger revenue opportunities.

Our ULCC business model and low CASM allow us to compete principally through offering low base fares to stimulate demand. We use our yield management system to set our fares in an effort to achieve appropriate yields and load factors on each route we operate. We use promotional fares to stimulate demand and price our base fares to compete with long-distance bus fares in Mexico.

During 2024, our average base fare was U.S. $52.62, and we regularly offered promotional fares as low as U.S. $1.80 or U.S. $0.98 for V-Club members, excluding airport fees. We have unbundled certain components of our air travel service as part of a strategy to enable our passengers to only pay for the products and services they want to use. This unbundling strategy has allowed us to significantly grow our non-passenger revenue and total revenue. We plan to continue to use low base fares to stimulate additional passenger demand, shift bus passengers to air travel and increase our load factor. In 2024, our average load factor was 86.8%, compared to an average load factor of 84.1% for the other Latin American publicly traded airlines and 82.6% for our U.S.-based publicly traded target market competitors. Higher load factors help us generate additional non-passenger revenue and total revenue, which in turn, allow us to further lower base fares and stimulate new demand.

In addition to offering low fares, we also aim to deliver a suitable and efficient flying experience to our passengers. We strive to deliver on-time performance to our customers, with an 83.6% on-time performance rate in 2024. We believe that we have developed strong brand recognition due to our focus on delivering good value and a positive traveling experience to our customers. We believe that our corporate culture of positive “customer relationship management” has also been a key element of our success.

Principal Capital Expenditures

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 we incurred capital expenditures of U.S. $353.9 million, U.S. $491.1 million, and U.S. $600.7 million, respectively, which included acquisitions of flight equipment, spare engines, rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment and intangible assets. For a discussion of our capital expenditures and future projections. See Item 5: “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Mexican Regulation

Operational Regulation

Air transportation services for passengers provided on a regular basis, as opposed to charter flights and permits, are considered a public service in Mexico. To render regular air transportations services, a concession granted by the Mexican federal government is required. The legal framework of the air transportation industry in Mexico is primarily established by the Mexican Aviation Law (Ley de Aviación Civil) and its regulations, the Mexican Airport Law (Ley de Aeropuertos) and its regulations, the Mexican General Communications Ways Law (Ley de Vias Generales de Comunicación), and applicable Mexican Official Rules (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas). The main regulatory authority overseeing air transportation is the SICT, acting mainly through the AFAC.

Pursuant to the Mexican Aviation Law, the SICT, through the AFAC, is responsible and has the authority, among others, to (i) impose and conduct the policies and programs for the regulation and development of air transportation services; (ii) grant concessions and permits, oversee compliance with, and, if applicable, resolve amendments to or termination of such concessions or permits; (iii) issue the Mexican Official Rules and other administrative provisions; (iv) provide and control the air navigation services; (v) issue and enforce the safety and health rules that must be observed in air transportation services; (vi) issue certificates of registration, certificates of airworthiness, and certificates to air services providers and declare the suspension, cancellation, revalidation or revocation of such certificates; (vii) maintain and operate the Mexican Aeronautical Registry (Registro Aéronautico Mexicano), where aircraft and leases over aircraft are regulated; (viii) participate in the international agencies and in the negotiation of treaties; (ix) promote the development and training of the aeronautical technical staff; (x) issue and, if applicable, revalidate or cancel the licenses of the aeronautical technical staff; (xi) interpret the Mexican Aviation Law and its regulations for administrative purposes; (xii) authorize the verification visits; (xiii) appoint or, if applicable, remove the regional commanding officer and the commanding officers for airports, heliports and civil airdromes in general, and (xiv) approve flight plans.

The AFAC primarily oversees and verifies compliance by the concessionaires, licensees, operators and airline services providers with the Mexican Aviation Law, its regulations, the Mexican Official Rules and any other applicable provisions.

A concession granted by the SICT is required to render domestic and regular air transportation services in Mexico. Any such concession may only be granted to Mexican entities which meet certain technical, financial, legal and administrative requirements that are deemed necessary to adequately provide services with quality, safety, and timeliness.

Other requirements to be met to obtain a concession are (i) the availability of aircraft and aircraft equipment, which is required to comply with technical requirements of safety, airworthiness conditions and environmental conditions; (ii) the availability of hangars, repair shops and infrastructure needed for operations, as well as the availability of technical and administrative staff trained for the operation of the concession; and (iii) experience in the industry. To provide any other air transportation service in Mexico, different from domestic and regular air transportation, a permit from the SICT is required pursuant to the Mexican Aviation Law.

Concession and Permits

Through our subsidiary Volaris Opco, we hold (i) the Concession, which authorizes us to provide domestic regular passenger, cargo and mail air transportation services within Mexico, (ii) a permit for domestic charter air transportation passenger services, and (iii) a permit for international regular passenger and charter passenger air transportation services.

Our Concession was granted by the Mexican federal government through SICT on May 9, 2005. On February 24, 2020, our Concession was extended for a 20-year term starting on May 9, 2020. The Concession authorizes us to use certain aircraft and certain routes. Pursuant to the terms of the Mexican Aviation Law, our Concession, together with specific authorizations granted to us by the AFAC, allow us to provide domestic and international regular air transportation services. Pursuant to our Concession, we have to pay to the Mexican federal government certain fees arising from the services we render. The exhibits to the Concession must be updated each time a new aircraft is operated by Volaris Opco, new routes are added, or existing routes are modified. For more information regarding our aircraft and routes. See Item 4: “Information on the Company—Business Overview.”

The permit for domestic charter air transportation of passengers was granted to us by the SICT on April 16, 2007. Such permit, which does not have a termination date, authorizes certain aircraft to operate and specifies, among other terms and conditions, that Volaris Opco is required to request authorization from the AFAC before carrying out any charter flight.

The permit for international charter air transportation of passengers was granted by the AFAC on June 3, 2009 for an unspecified period of time. Such permit authorizes certain aircraft to operate under such permit and indicates, among other terms and conditions, that Volaris Opco is required to request authorization from the AFAC, before carrying out any charter flight.

In order to operate our aircraft, each aircraft is required to have on board all documents and equipment required by the treaties, the Mexican Aviation Law and all applicable provisions, including its certificate of registration, its certificate of airworthiness, and its insurance policy. We believe we hold all necessary operating and airworthiness authorizations, certificates and licenses, and carry all necessary insurance policies and are operating in compliance with applicable law.

The Mexican Aviation Law provides that concessions and permits may be revoked for any of the following reasons: (i) failure to exercise rights conferred by the concessions or permits for a period exceeding 180 calendar days from the date that such concessions or permits were granted; (ii) failure to maintain in effect the insurance required pursuant to the Mexican Aviation Law; (iii) change of nationality of the holder of the concession or permit; (iv) assignment, mortgage, transfer or conveyance of concessions, permits or rights thereunder to any foreign government or foreign state; (v) assignment, mortgage, transfer or conveyance of concessions, permits or rights thereunder to any person without the approval of the SICT; (vi) applying fares different from the registered or approved fares, as applicable; (vii) interruption of the services without authorization from the SICT, except in the events of acts of God or force majeure; (viii) rendering services different to those set forth in the respective permit or concession; (ix) failure to comply with safety conditions; (x) failure to indemnify from damages arising from the services rendered and (xi) in general, failure to comply with any obligation or condition set forth in the Mexican Aviation Law, its regulations or the respective concession or permit. In the event that our Concession is revoked for any of the reasons specified above, we will not be entitled to any compensation, and we will be unable to continue to conduct our business.

Aircraft

Pursuant to the Mexican Aviation Law and our Concession, all the aircraft used to provide our services must be registered in Mexico with the Mexican Aeronautical Registry and flagged as Mexican aircraft and, if registered in other countries, such aircraft need to be authorized to operate in Mexico. The registration with the Mexican Aeronautical Registry is granted subject to compliance with certain legal and technical requirements. All the aircraft which comprise our fleet as of the date of this annual report have been authorized by and registered with the AFAC.

We have to maintain our aircraft in airworthiness condition. The maintenance must be provided as specified in the manufacturers’ maintenance manuals and pursuant to a maintenance program approved by the AFAC. The AFAC has authority to inspect our aircraft, their maintenance records and our safety procedures. Based on such inspections, the AFAC may declare an aircraft unfit to fly and in certain cases revoke our Concession.

Routes

Pursuant to the Mexican Aviation Law and our Concession, we may only provide our services on routes approved under our Concession. Any new route or change in existing routes must be approved by the AFAC. Domestic routes are subject to our Concession and the Mexican Aviation Law. Our international routes to the United States are subject to our Concession, the international routes authorization permits issued by the AFAC, the Mexican Aviation Law, the Air Transport Agreement between the United States and Mexico, dated December 18, 2015 (“US-Mexico ATA”), a permit from the DOT to allow us to operate any route into the United States, and authorization from the FAA. The US-Mexico ATA provides a legal framework for the international routes of Mexican and U.S. carriers between the United States and Mexico. Under the US-Mexico ATA, any U.S. or Mexican carrier may apply for a permit or authorization to fly between Mexico and the United States.

Fares

According to the Mexican Aviation Law, concessionaries or licensees of air transportation may freely set fares for the services provided by them on terms that permit the rendering of services in satisfactory conditions of quality, competitiveness, safety and consistency. International fares must be approved by the SICT pursuant to applicable treaties except that fares for routes to and from the United States do not require approval or registration from either the SICT or any other authority. The fares (both domestic and international) must be registered with the SICT and be permanently available to users of the services. The SICT may deny the registration of fares set by the concessionaires or licensees if such fares imply predatory or monopolistic practices, dominance in the market from a competition perspective or disloyal competition which prevents the participation in the market of other concessionaires or licensees. The SICT may also set minimum and maximum levels of fares (restricting, in that case, the ability of concessionaires and holders of licenses to freely determine rates), as applicable, for the corresponding services, to promote competition. The fares will describe clearly and explicitly the restrictions such fares are subject to and will remain valid for the time and under the conditions offered. The Mexican Aviation Law provides that in the event that the SICT considers that there is no competition among concession and permit holders, the SICT may request the opinion of the Mexican Antitrust Commission and then approve regulations governing fares that may be charged for air transportation services, thus limiting the ability of participants to freely determine rates. Such regulations will be maintained only during the existence of the conditions that resulted in the negative effects of competition.

Slots

Under Mexican Law, a “slot” is the schedule for the landing and take-off of aircraft. The regulation of the slots is provided by the Mexican Airport Law and its regulations. A slot is assigned to an operator by the airport administrator considering the recommendation of a committee of operations, for the organization and planning of the flights at the relevant airport. According to the regulations to the Mexican Airport Law, the operating rules of each airport in Mexico, must contain the guidelines for the assignment of slots. Therefore, the different airports’ administrations will establish in such guidelines how slots are to be assigned considering (i) the operation schedule of the airport, (ii) safety and efficiency criteria, (iii) capacity of the services providers, (iv) schedule availability, and (v) compliance with the requirements for the assignment of the slots.

Taking or Seizure

Pursuant to Mexican law and our Concession, the Mexican federal government may take or seize our assets temporarily or permanently, in the event of natural disasters, war, serious changes to public order or in the event of imminent danger to the national security, internal peace or the national economy. The Mexican federal government, in all cases, except in the event of international war, must indemnify us by paying the respective losses and damages at market value. See Item 3: “Key Information—Risk Factors—Under Mexican law, our assets could be taken or seized by the Mexican government under certain circumstances.”

Foreign Ownership

The Mexican Foreign Investment Law (Ley de Inversión Extranjera) limits foreign investment in companies rendering domestic air transportation services to 49% of such companies’ voting stock. This limit applies to Volaris Opco, but not to us as a holding company. We, as a holding company, must remain a Mexican-investor controlled entity, as a means to control Volaris Opco. The acquisition of our Series A shares through the CPOs, which strips out voting rights but grants any and all economic rights, by foreign investors, is deemed neutral, from a foreign investment perspective, and is not, as a result, counted as foreign investment and is excluded from this restriction. For a discussion of the procedures we instituted to ensure compliance with these foreign ownership rules. See Item 10: “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association—Other Provisions—Foreign Investment Regulations.”

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to international treaties, bilateral agreements, laws, official Mexican standards, or other regulations applicable to the aviation industry related to the protection of the environment, such as the Mexican General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (Ley General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente), the Regulation of the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection Regarding Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution (Reglamento de la Ley General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente en Materia de Prevención y Control de la Contaminación de la Atmósfera), the Mexican General Law for Prevention and Handling of Wastes (Ley General para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos), the Mexican National Waters Law (Ley Nacional de Aguas) and its regulations, and the General Law on Climate Change (Ley del Cambio Climático) and its regulations. Moreover, we are subject to the Official Rule NOM 036 SICT3 2000, which regulates the maximum limits of aircraft noise emissions as well as the requirements to comply with such limits.

On a voluntary basis, the processes of operations engineering and technical publications, empty operating weight updates, aircraft incorporation into Air Operator´s Certificate (AOC), station incorporation into AOC, flight dispatch and operational control center, crew planning, flight operations and flight operations support, administrative procedures for flight attendant organization, flight attendant mentors, emergency response management, cargo operations, ground operations, monitoring of gas emissions into the atmosphere, fuel saving program, purchase of carbon credits, environmental programs for waste management and energy management in our corporate offices (ecological offices) are certified under the Official Mexican Standards NMX-CC-9001-IMNC-2015 (ISO 9001:2015) and NMX-SAA-14001-IMNC-2015 (ISO 14001:2015). This certification is issued by NORMEX, an organization authorized to establish standards in accordance with the guidelines of the General Directorate of Standards. NORMEX is also recognized by the Mexican Accreditation Entity A.C. (Entidad Mexicana de Acreditación (EMA), A.C.) to conduct audits and inspections, ensuring compliance with national and international standards.

Additionally, Article 151 Bis of the Regulations of the Mexican Civil Aviation Law (Reglamento de la Ley de Aviación Civil) requires that every concessionaire and permit holder report to the AFAC, on an annual basis, the greenhouse emissions produced by the aircraft it operates, as well as the operational, technical, and economic measures required by Mexican law and the international treaties to which Mexico is a party.

Further, in compliance with the General Law on Climate Change and its regulations, we report our emissions scope 1 and scope 2 inventory in Mexico, to the National Emissions Registry (Registro Nacional de Emisiones (RENE)) and the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (Registro de emisiones y transferencias de contaminantes (RETC)).

Civil Liability

The Mexican Aviation Law, the Warsaw Convention, as amended by the Montreal Convention, and the Mexican Federal Civil Code (Código Civil Federal) set forth guidelines related to the liability of an aircraft operator for damages caused to third parties during its air and ground operations, or resulting from persons or things ejected from the aircraft. Mexican courts, however, have occasionally disregarded these limitations provided by the Warsaw Convention and have awarded damages purely based on the Mexican Federal Civil Code and Mexican consumer protection regulations, resulting in awards of damages higher than those established in the Mexican Aviation Law.

Insurance

Pursuant to Article 74 of the Mexican Aviation Law and ancillary regulations, we are required to maintain insurance policies with reputable insurance companies, covering damages and/or losses for passengers, baggage, cargo and mail, as well as general third-party legal liability, for at least certain minimum amounts. Airlines must submit their insurance contracts to the SICT prior to initiating operations. For international air transport, our insurance must comply with the provisions of the applicable international treaties.

U.S. and International Regulation

Operational Regulation

The airline industry is heavily regulated by the U.S. government. Two of the primary regulatory authorities overseeing air transportation in the United States are the DOT and the FAA. The DOT has jurisdiction over economic issues affecting air transportation, including but not limited to unfair or deceptive practices, unfair methods of competition, advertising and other consumer protection matters, baggage liability and air travel by persons with disabilities. The DOT has authority to issue permits and other authorizations required for international airlines to provide air transportation to and from the United States. We hold foreign air carrier permits issued by the DOT that authorize us to engage in scheduled and charter air transportation of passengers, property and mail to and from the United States, consistent with the scope of traffic rights provided for under the air transport agreements in place between the United States and each of the Governments of Mexico, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.

The FAA is responsible for regulating and overseeing matters relating to air carrier flight operations and safety, including airline operating certificates, aircraft certification and maintenance and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA requires each non-U.S. commercial airline to obtain and hold FAA operations specifications and to conduct their operations in accordance with Parts 91 and 129 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Operations specifications authorize holders to operate at specific U.S. airports using procedures and aircraft approved by the FAA.

As of the date of this annual report, we had FAA airworthiness certificates for 45 of our aircraft (the remainder being registered with the AFAC in Mexico), we had obtained the necessary FAA authority to fly to all the cities we currently serve, and all our aircraft had been certified for over-water operations. Pilots operating and mechanics providing maintenance services on “N” or U.S.-registered aircraft require a special license issued by the FAA. We hold all necessary operating and airworthiness authorizations, certificates and licenses and operate in compliance with applicable DOT and FAA regulations.

We are also subject to the regulation of the aviation authorities in the Central and South American countries in which we currently operate. We hold all necessary operating authorizations, certificates and licenses and are operating in compliance with applicable regulations in such Central and South American countries.

International Regulation

Our service to and from the United States is also subject to various air commerce and immigration laws and regulations, which are administered at U.S. airports by CBP, a law enforcement agency that is part of the DHS, and the requirements of equivalent governmental agencies in other countries. Like other airlines flying international routes, from time to time we may be subject to civil fines and penalties imposed by CBP for failure to comply with immigration laws or if un-manifested or illegal cargo, such as illegal narcotics, is found on our aircraft, among other issues. These fines and penalties, which in the case of narcotics are based upon the retail value of the seizure, may be substantial. We have implemented a comprehensive security program at our airports to reduce the risk of illegal cargo being placed on our aircraft, and we seek to cooperate actively with CBP and other U.S. and foreign law enforcement agencies in investigating incidents or attempts to introduce illegal cargo onto our flights.

Our flight operations are also subject to Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (“APHIS”) (an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture) requirements. APHIS imposes restrictions on the agricultural products that may be transported to and from the United States, how we cater our flights and how we handle trash generated during flights landing in the United States. APHIS can impose fines and penalties for non-compliance with these requirements. We comply with all APHIS cargo requirements and regulations related to our flights.

Security Regulation

TSA was created in 2001 with the responsibility and authority to oversee the implementation, and ensure the adequacy, of security measures at airports and other transportation facilities in the United States. Since the creation of TSA, airport security has seen significant changes including enhancement of flight deck security, the deployment of federal air marshals onboard flights, increased airport perimeter access security, increased airline crew security training, enhanced security screening of passengers, baggage, cargo and employees, training of security screening personnel, increased passenger and crew manifest collections and CBP transmittal requirements, expanded background checks, and additional restrictions on carry-on baggage. Funding for passenger security is provided in part by a per enplanement ticket tax (passenger security fee) of U.S. $5.60 for air transportation that originates at an airport in the United States. TSA was granted authority to impose additional fees on air carriers if necessary to cover additional federal aviation security costs. Pursuant to its authority, TSA may revise the way it assesses this fee, which could result in increased costs for passengers and/or us. We cannot predict what additional security and safety requirements may be imposed in the future or the costs or revenue impact that would be associated with complying with such requirements.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state, and local U.S. laws and regulations administered by numerous agencies relating to the protection of the environment and affecting matters such as aircraft engine emissions, aircraft noise emissions, and the discharge or disposal of materials and chemicals.

U.S. law recognizes the right of airport operators with special noise issues to implement local noise abatement procedures so long as those procedures do not interfere unreasonably with interstate and foreign commerce and the national air transportation system. These restrictions can include limiting nighttime operations, directing specific aircraft operational procedures during take-off and initial climb, and limiting the overall number of flights at an airport. None of the airports we serve currently restrict the number of flights (except New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport, which restricts the number of flights allowed for capacity reasons, not noise abatement) or hours of operation, although it is possible one or more of such airports may do so in the future with or without advance notice.

In 2016, ICAO adopted a resolution creating CORSIA and provided a framework for a global market-based measure to stabilize CO2 emissions in international civil aviation (i.e., civil aviation flights that depart in one country and arrive in a different country). CORSIA has been implemented in phases, starting with the participation of ICAO members on a voluntary basis during a pilot phase (from 2021 through 2023), and a first phase (from 2024 through 2026), followed by an obligatory second phase (from 2027) for member states whose civil aviation CO2 emissions exceed certain thresholds. In 2016, Mexico signed the “North American Leaders’ Declaration on Climate, Clean Energy and Environment Partnership” and committed to participate in the pilot phase of CORSIA. The countries in which we operate are ICAO member states, and thus we may be affected by regulations adopted pursuant to the CORSIA framework.

Additionally, the government of Costa Rica, through Scope No. 117 in Gazette No. 116 dated June 26, 2024, issued Presidential Decree No. 44498-MOPT, titled “RAC-16 Costa Rican Aeronautical Regulation and Emission Reduction for Costa Rican Aviation.” This decree formally confirms compliance with CORSIA and establishes additional environmental requirements for air operators.

The USEPA has also adopted rules implementing the ICAO aircraft engine GHG emission standards. Pursuant to the Clean Air Act, the FAA issued a final rule in February 2024 to implement these standards, introducing new fuel efficiency certification regulations. These regulations took effect in April 2024 and will apply to larger business and commercial jet aircraft with either new design types (not previously certified by the FAA) or existing design types that are in production as of January 1, 2028. More stringent standards, or other restrictions, may also be adopted in the future.

We are committed to complying with the applicable environmental regulations in the markets where we operate. We actively monitor regulatory developments to promote timely adaptation and compliance with evolving standards, reinforcing our commitment to responsible and sustainable operations.

Table of Contents

Other Regulations

In the United States, we are subject to certain provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and are required to obtain an aeronautical radio license from the FCC. To the extent we are subject to FCC requirements, we take all necessary steps to comply with those requirements. We are also subject to state and local laws and regulations at locations where we operate and the regulations of various local authorities that operate the airports we serve.

Concessions and Permits

Through our subsidiaries Vuela Aviación and Vuela El Salvador, we hold concessions, which authorize us to provide regular passenger, cargo and mail air transportation services in Costa Rica and El Salvador, respectively.

The Exploitation Certificate (Certificado de Explotación) of Vuela Aviación was granted by the government of Costa Rica on November 9, 2016, and remains valid until December 20, 2036. The Operating Permit (Permiso de Operación) of Vuela El Salvador was granted by the government of El Salvador on August 23, 2021, and remains valid until May 30, 2029 and its renewal is currently in process. For more information regarding our aircraft and routes, see Item 4: “Information on the Company—Business Overview.”

Taking or Seizure in El Salvador

In accordance with Salvadoran law and Vuela El Salvador´s concession, the Salvadoran government can, temporarily or permanently, seize our assets in El Salvador, specifically when a state of emergency is declared and our assets are determined to be of national interest. A state of emergency could be declared in the event of natural disasters, war, serious disturbances of public order or of imminent danger to national security, internal peace or the national economy. The Salvadoran government must indemnify us following calculations established by law. However, such law is unclear about how compensation is determined and when it is paid.

Future Regulations

The Mexican, U.S. and other foreign governments may consider and adopt new laws, regulations, interpretations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters that could directly or indirectly affect our results of operations. We cannot predict what laws, regulations, interpretations and policies might be considered in the future, nor can we judge what impact, if any, the implementation of any of these proposals or changes might have on our business.

| B. | Business Overview

Industry

There are three primary categories of passenger airlines in the Mexican market: (i) traditional legacy network carriers, such as Grupo Aeroméxico, (ii) ultra low-cost carriers, such as Volaris and Viva, and (iii) regional carriers that operate exclusively in niche markets within Mexico, constituting less than 2% of the total market share. The ULCC business model is a subset of the low-cost carrier market.

Legacy carriers offer scheduled flights to major domestic and international routes (directly or through membership in an alliance, such as Star Alliance, Oneworld and/or SkyTeam) and serve numerous smaller cities. These carriers operate mainly through a “hub-and-spoke” network route system. This system concentrates most of an airline’s operations in a limited number of hub cities, serving other destinations in the system by providing one-stop or connecting service through hub airports to end destinations on the spokes. Such an arrangement permits travelers to fly from a given point of origin to more destinations without switching to another airline. Traditional legacy carriers typically have higher cost structures than low-cost carriers due to higher labor costs, flight crew and aircraft scheduling inefficiencies, concentration of operations in higher cost airports, and multiple classes of services. Other examples of legacy carriers in the Latin American market include Avianca, Copa, and LATAM.

52

Table of Contents

Low-cost carriers typically fly direct, point-to-point flights, which tends to improve aircraft and crew scheduling efficiency. In addition, low-cost carriers often serve major markets through secondary, lower cost airports in the same regions as major population centers. Many low-cost carriers only provide a single-class of service, thereby increasing the number of seats on each flight and avoiding the significant and incremental cost of offering premium-class services. Finally, low-cost carriers tend to operate fleets with only one or two aircraft families at most, in order to maximize the utilization of flight crews across the fleet, improve aircraft scheduling flexibility and minimize inventory and aircraft maintenance costs. The Mexican market, which has a large population of VFR and leisure travelers, has seen demand for these low-cost carriers expand in recent years.

In recent years, many traditional legacy network carriers globally have undergone significant financial restructuring, including ceasing operations or merging and consolidating with one another. These restructurings have allowed legacy carriers to reduce high labor costs, restructure debt, modify or terminate pension plans and generally reduce their cost structure. This has resulted in improved workforce flexibility and reduced costs while simultaneously improving product offerings similar to those of other low-cost carriers. Furthermore, many of the legacy carriers have made these improvements while still maintaining their expansive route networks, alliances and frequent flier programs. One result of the restructuring of the network carriers is that the difference in the cost structures, and the competitive advantage previously enjoyed by low-cost airlines, has somewhat diminished. The ULCC business model involves, among other things, intense focus on low cost, efficient asset utilization, unbundled revenue sources aside from the basic fare with multiple products and services offered for additional fees. Globally, ULCCs business models include Allegiant and Frontier in the United States, Ryanair and Wizz in Europe, and AirAsia in Asia.

ULCCs are able to achieve low-cost operations due to highly efficient and uniform fleets with high density seating and single aisle configurations. Additionally, ULCCs provide extremely low fares to customers in order to stimulate market demand and generate high aircraft utilization rates. With high aircraft utilization rates, ULCCs are able to generate substantial ancillary revenues through the offering of additional products and services, such as baggage fees, advanced seat selection, extra legroom, ticket change fees, and/or itinerary attachments such as hotels, airport transportation, and rental cars. ULCCs focus on VFR and leisure customers as opposed to business travelers. The ULCC product appeals to the cost-conscious customer because they are offered a low base-fare and are able to choose to pay for only the additional products and services they want to receive.

Economic and Demographic Trends

We believe the Mexican airline industry has strong potential for growth, given the country’s young demographics, the long-term trend for improving macroeconomic base and growing middle class, which will likely facilitate organic expansion of the airline sector. In addition, the national airline industry is relatively underpenetrated when compared to other countries of similar economic size and demographic characteristics, in terms of trips per capita. These elements combine at a time when the industry has been under considerable attrition due in part from some of the operators ceasing operations.

In terms of the macroeconomic environment, GDP growth in Mexico is expected to be 0.6% in 2025 and 1.8% in 2026 according to the Mexican Central Bank’s mid-point projections. Mexico’s GDP grew at a CAGR of 2.1% from 2014 to 2024, according to INEGI. U.S. GDP is expected to grow by 1.7% for 2025 and by 1.8% for 2026, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve.

As of 2020, according to the Censo de Población y Vivienda 2020 of INEGI intercensal survey, approximately 70% of the Mexican population was over 18 years of age, which we believe benefits us by providing a strong base of young, potential passengers in the future. These contrasts favorably with more mature aviation markets like the United States, where, as of July 2024, approximately 78% of the population was over 18 years of age according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

However, despite these favorable demographic indicators, the Mexican domestic aviation market remains underpenetrated. According to data from the local Civil Aviation Authorities in Mexico, such as the AFAC, as of 2023 the domestic flights per capita in Mexico was 0.5 per capita, indicating a lower level of domestic air travel penetration compared to countries with similar economies (as measured by income per capita) and geographies. Specifically, according to data from the Unidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil (UAEAC), Colombia’s domestic flights per capita was 0.6 in 2023, compared to 0.8 in Chile during the same year, according to data from the Junta de Aeronáutica Civil (JAC). Lastly, Turkey’s domestic air trips per capita stood at 1.1 as of 2023, according to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Turkey (UAB).

The Mexican low-cost airline industry competes with ground transportation alternatives, primarily long-distance bus companies. Given the limited passenger rail services in Mexico, travel by bus has traditionally been the predominant low-cost option for long-distance travel for a significant portion of the Mexican population. In 2023, bus companies transported over 3.1 billion passengers in Mexico in the domestic market, of which approximately 83.7 million were executive and luxury passenger segments, as measured in segments which include both long-distance (five hours or greater) and short-distance travel, according to the SICT. We believe that an increased shift in demand from bus to air travel in Mexico presents a significant opportunity as the macroeconomic environment improves and rising demographics take shape across the country. Furthermore, we believe that long-distance bus passengers will continue to shift to airplane travel when certain promotional fares are priced lower than bus fares for similar routes.

In the past the Mexican federal government has made a substantial investment in developing Mexico’s airport infrastructure. In 1998, the Mexican federal government created a program to open Mexico’s airports to private investments. Three private airport operators (Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V., Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V. and Aeropuertos del Sureste de México, S.A.B. de C.V.) were incorporated and granted 50-year concessions to operate airports in Mexico. In the first stage of the privatization process, the Mexican federal government sold a minority stake to strategic partners. The privatization process culminated in mid-2006, when the Mexican federal government sold the balance of its holdings to the public via initial public offerings.

The Mexican federal government still manages and operates the Mexico City International Airport, which it considers strategic, as well as other minor airports in the country. We believe that strong foundational infrastructure, and continued investment and development will result in significant growth potential for the Mexican airline market. In January 2019, the Mexican federal government introduced plans to invest in the expansion of the existing airport and build a new airport in the Mexico City metropolitan area. In March 2022, the first phase of Felipe Angeles International Airport was completed, and it began operations. This new airport is managed and operated by the Mexican federal government. In January 2025, the Mexican federal government announced the remodeling of the Mexico City International Airport, starting in the first semester of 2025, with the goal of concluding in 2026.

According to the Airbus Global Market Forecast 2024 (GMF24), Airbus forecasts a CAGR of 3.5% for domestic air traffic within the Latin America and Caribbean region, from 2019 to 2043. Specifically, the Mexican domestic market is forecasted to exhibit a CAGR of 5.0%, from 2019 to 2027, with a corresponding CAGR of 4.7% for routes between Mexico and the United States during the same period. Similarly, traffic originating from Central America to the United States is expected to achieve a CAGR of 4.5%. The projected growth is primarily driven by intra-regional flows, supported by the continued growth of low-cost carrier networks. The continued growth of the middle class as well as rising income levels is expected to continue to drive long-term economic expansion in Latin America. Traffic between Central America and the Caribbean and North America is expected to remain strong, as North and Latin American LCCs continue to grow their service in this flow.

The Mexican aviation industry has transformed significantly since the emergence of ultra-low-cost carriers and the exit of more than nine carriers since 2007, according to the SICT. Furthermore, the pandemic led to an unprecedented market consolidation. As of December 31, 2024, the top three carriers in Mexico collectively held approximately 99% of the domestic market, with 71% of this share attributed to ultra-low-cost carriers, Volaris and Viva. Changes in the Mexican airline competitive environment have resulted in an increase in the domestic market load factor for the remaining carriers.

Market Environment

The airline industry is highly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the airline industry include fare pricing, total ticket price, flight schedules, aircraft type, passenger amenities, number of routes/destinations, customer service, safety record and reputation, code-sharing relationships, frequent flier programs and redemption opportunities. The airline industry is particularly susceptible to price discounting because once a flight is scheduled, airlines incur only nominal incremental costs to provide service to passengers occupying otherwise unsold seats. The expenses of a scheduled aircraft flight do not vary significantly with the number of passengers carried, and, as a result, a relatively small change in the number of passengers or in pricing can have a disproportionate effect on an airline’s operating and financial results. Price competition occurs on a market-by-market basis through price discounts, changes in pricing structures, fare matching, targeted promotions and frequent flier initiatives. Airlines typically use discount fares and other promotions to stimulate traffic during normally slower travel periods to generate cash flow and to maximize revenue per ASM. The prevalence of discount fares can be particularly acute when an airline has excess capacity and/ or is under financial pressure to sell tickets.

In Mexico, the United States and the Central and South American countries in which we operate, the scheduled passenger service market consists of three principal groups of travelers: business travelers, leisure travelers, and VFR travelers. Leisure travelers and VFR travelers typically place most of their emphasis on lower fares, whereas business travelers, in addition to lower fares, typically also place a high emphasis on flight frequency, scheduling flexibility, breadth of network and service enhancements, including loyalty programs and airport lounges.

VFR and leisure passengers travel for a number of reasons, including social visits and vacation travel. We believe that VFR and leisure traffic are the most important components of the traffic in the markets we target and serve and are important contributors to our non-passenger revenue production. We estimate that VFR and leisure passengers represent a significant percentage of our total passenger volume. As part of our route development strategy, we target markets that will likely appeal to VFR and leisure travelers at price points that were previously not available. This approach allows us to stimulate demand in new markets by catering to VFR and leisure travelers’ preferences.

Domestic passenger traffic in Mexico has shown consistent growth, with a CAGR of 6.3% from 2009 to 2024, based on data from the AFAC. Similarly, international passenger volumes have increased at a CAGR of 6.0% over the same period. The following table sets forth the historical passenger volumes on international and domestic routes in Mexico from 2009 to 2024:

Our international growth strategy has focused on targeting markets in the United States with large Mexican and Latin-American communities in order to stimulate VFR demand and leisure traffic in those markets. During 2024, approximately 69% of international passengers in Mexico flew to the United States, making it the largest international destination for air passengers in Mexico. All of the major U.S. legacy carriers fly to and from Mexico, but at a higher cost than low-cost carriers. Many Mexicans in the United States purchase airline tickets for family members living in Mexico to fly to the United States to visit. For this reason, we focus our international routes on U.S. cities with significant Mexican and Mexican-American communities. These cities are generally located in and near to counties with Hispanic populations of over one million as of 2020, according to PEW Research Hispanic Center. Additionally, according to the same source, as of 2021, the top five U.S. metropolitan areas by Hispanic population were as follows:

| · | Los Angeles, CA: 5.9 million;

| · | New York, NY: 5.1 million;

| · | Miami, FL: 2.8 million;

| · | Houston, TX: 2.8 million; and

| · | Riverside, CA: 2.5 million;

We have been able to grow our international market share in the United States substantially over the past five years even with significant competition from leading U.S. carriers. As of December 31, 2024, we were the third largest international carrier in terms of passenger flight segments out of all airlines flying internationally to and from Mexico. We have been able to grow our international market share and our strategy to target and stimulate markets in the United States with large Mexican and Mexican-American communities.

In terms of both domestic and international ticketed passengers, our total passenger volume increased at a CAGR of 21.4% from 2006 to 2024, with approximately 0.9 million booked passengers in 2006 and 29.5 million booked passengers in 2024.

Our Business Model

Our business model is similar to that of other ULCCs operating elsewhere in the world, such as Allegiant and Frontier in the United States, Ryanair and Wizz in Europe and AirAsia in Asia. We utilize our ULCC business model and efficient operations to offer low base fares and to stimulate demand while aiming to provide suitable and efficient customer service. Our unbundled pricing strategy allows us to provide low base fares and enables our passengers to select and pay for a range of optional products and services for additional fees. We target VFR travelers, cost-conscious business travelers and leisure travelers in Mexico and to select destinations in the United States, Central and South America.

Table of Contents

Since May 2012, we have unbundled certain components of our air travel service as part of a strategy to enable our passengers to select and pay only for the products and services they want to use. This unbundling strategy has allowed us to significantly grow our non-passenger and total revenue. We plan to continue to use low base fares to stimulate additional passenger demand, shift bus passengers to air travel and increase our load factor. Higher load factors help us generate additional non-passenger and total revenue, which in turn, allow us to further lower base fares and stimulate new demand.

We have a relentless focus on low costs as part of our organizational culture. We are one of the lowest cost publicly traded airline carriers in Latin America, based on CASM. We are also one of the lowest cost carriers in our target markets in Mexico and the United States, compared to our target market competitors, according to public information available from such competitors. We are able to keep our costs low due to our efficient and uniform fleet, high asset utilization, our emphasis on direct sales and distribution and our variable, performance-based compensation structure.

Since our inception, we have aimed to achieve the following goals:

| · | to create a profitable and sustainable business model;

| · | to successfully compete by creating structural advantages over other carriers serving Mexico through our ULCC business model;

| · | to provide affordable air travel with a suitable and efficient experience for our customers; and

| · | to create a dynamic, cost-conscious and entrepreneurial working culture for our employees.

Our Strengths

We believe that our strengths are:

Low-Cost Structure. We believe that in 2024 we had one of the lowest cost structures of any Latin American publicly traded airline, with CASM of U.S. $8.03 cents, compared to Azul at U.S. $10.33 cents, Copa at U.S. $8.95 cents, and LATAM at U.S. $11.59 cents. In 2024, we also had significantly lower costs than our U.S. based publicly traded target market competitors, including Alaska at U.S. $14.66 cents, American at U.S. $17.61 cents, Delta at U.S. $19.30 cents, Jet Blue at U.S. $15.08 cents, Southwest at U.S. $15.32 cents, Frontier at U.S. $9.32 cents, Spirit at U.S. $11.35 cents, Allegiant at U.S. $12.11 cents and United at U.S. $16.70 cents, according to publicly available financial information.

We achieve our low operating costs in large part due to:

| · | Efficient and Single-Family Fleet. We operate a single and efficient fleet of Airbus A320 family aircraft, which is one of the youngest fleets in the Americas, with an average age of 6.4 years as of December 31, 2024.

| · | High Asset Utilization. Our fleet has a high-density seat configuration, and we had one of the highest worldwide average aircraft utilization rates at 13.03 block hours per day in 2024.

| · | Direct Sales Distribution. We encourage our customers to purchase tickets via our website, mobile app, call center, or airport service desks, as these distribution channels have the lowest cost to us. In 2024, we sold 83% of our tickets through these channels. We do not use a global distribution system.

| · | Variable, Performance-Based Compensation Structure. We compensate our employees based on the contribution they make to our success, rather than seniority, by basing their compensation on their performance each year.

Ancillary Revenue Generation. By offering our passengers the flexibility to choose which additional products and services they purchase and use through our unbundling strategy, we have increased average non-ticket revenue per passenger flight segment from approximately U.S. $9.61 in 2010 to U.S. $54.13 in 2024 by, among other things:

| · | checked baggage;

| · | charging for excess baggage;

| · | utilizing our excess aircraft belly space to transport cargo;

| · | passing through all distribution-related expenses;

| · | charging for advance seat selection, extra legroom, and carriage of sports equipment;

| · | consistently enforcing revenue policies, including change fees;

| · | generating subscription fees from our ultra-low-fare subscription service, V-Club and Annual Pass;

| · | deriving brand-based fees from proprietary services, such as our Volaris affinity credit card program;

| · | selling itinerary attachments, such as hotel and car rental reservations and airport parking, and making available trip interruption insurance commercialized by third parties, through our website; and

| · | selling onboard food and beverages advertising.

Core Focus on VFR Travelers, Cost-conscious Business Travelers and Leisure Travelers. We primarily target VFR travelers, cost-conscious business travelers and leisure travelers in Mexico and the United States. We believe these demographics represent the highest potential for growth in our target markets. By offering low promotional fares, we stimulate demand for VFR and leisure travel, and attract new customers, including those who previously may have only traveled by bus. We use our yield management system to set prices based on the time of booking and load factor.

During 2024, we managed yield and load factor, including through targeted promotional fares that can be as low as U.S. $1.80 or U.S. $0.98 for V-Club members, excluding airport fees. We have found that many Mexicans and Mexican Americans living in the United States buy airline tickets for themselves and their family members in Mexico. In addition, we have over 255,000 points of payment throughout Mexico, the United States, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia that allow travelers, particularly in Mexico, who do not have credit cards, or are reluctant to provide credit card information over the web or call center, to reserve seats using the web or call center and pay with cash within 24 hours. Furthermore, we offer night flights, which appeal to our domestic and international customer base that seek to save on lodging expenses.

Disciplined Approach to Market and Route Selection. We select target markets and routes where we believe we can achieve profitability within a reasonable timeframe, and we only continue operating on routes where we can achieve and maintain our target level of profitability. When developing our route network, we focus on gaining market share on routes that have been underserved or are served primarily by higher cost airlines where we have a competitive cost advantage. We thereby stimulate new demand with low base fares and attempt to shift market share from other operators. Based on our 2024 results, we have developed a profitable route network and achieved a leading market share in several of our markets. As of December 31, 2024, we held over 50% of passenger market share in 151 of our 250 routes, and faced no competition from any other carrier on over 44% of our routes. In 2024, 36% of our passenger revenues derived from our U.S. routes and 37% of our ASMs were attributed to U.S. routes.

Market Leading Efficiency and Performance. We believe we are one of the most efficient airline carriers in Latin America. In 2024, we achieved an average passenger load factor of 86.8% and an average aircraft utilization rate of 13.03 block hours per day with a standard turnaround time between flights of approximately 70 minutes. For our fleet type, our average aircraft utilization rate of 11.16 flight hours per day in 2024 was among the highest worldwide and was 40% higher than the industry average of 7.98 flight hours per day for all Airbus A319 aircraft, 24% higher than the 9.01 flight hours per day for all Airbus A320 aircraft and 11% higher than the 10.02 flight hours per day for all Airbus A321 aircraft, according to Airbus. The high-density, single-class seating configurations on our aircraft allow us to increase ASMs and reduce fixed costs per seat better than the lower-density configurations flown by certain of our competitors. In addition, we strive for market-leading operational performance, with an 83.6% on-time performance rate, 99.2% schedule completion and a mishandled baggage rate of only 0.7 bags per 1,000 passengers in 2024.

Brand Recognition and Fan Base. We believe that we have developed strong brand recognition due to our focus on delivering good value and a positive traveling experience to our customers. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 5.4 million fans on Facebook, 1.9 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), 619 thousand followers on Instagram, 55 thousand subscribers on YouTube and 233 thousand followers on TikTok, where we primarily focus on marketing, customer service and promotion. Our social media reach has been an effective and very low-cost marketing tool for us and has afforded us the capability to develop highly effective, targeted marketing promotions on very short notice. We have also established various programs to make air travel more inviting for first-time travelers and other passengers who may desire additional services. On April 16, 2021, we received the Famous Brand Declaration from the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property for the “Volaris” brand.

Solid Balance Sheet. We have a healthy level of financial debt, since we have principally financed our operations through equity and operating cash flows, and we have only used operating leases for our aircraft. We believe that our strong financial position enables us to prudently finance new growth opportunities in our markets and to defend our existing network from our competitors. As of December 31, 2024, we had a balance of U.S. $908.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, representing 29% of our last twelve months operating revenues. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, our credit lines totaled U.S. $1,873.4 million, which include U.S. $1,315.4 million were related to financial debt (U.S. $308.6 million are undisbursed) and U.S. $558.0 million were related to letters of credit (U.S. $229.3 million are undisbursed). As of December 31, 2024, we had available lines of credit of U.S. $537.9 million.

Strong Company Culture, Experienced Management Team and Principal Shareholders. We have developed a strong company culture among our employees that is focused on safety, meritocracy, efficiency and profitability, with a significant component of variable, performance-based compensation structure. Our management team has been assembled with experienced executives in their respective fields, including in the aviation, sales and marketing, finance or IT industries in Latin America. In addition, our principal shareholders have extensive prior experience in funding, establishing and leading airline carriers around the world. Their expertise has helped us develop our ULCC business model and allowed us to benefit from their procurement power and relationships with key vendors.

Our Growth Strategy

Our goal is to continue growing, while maintaining our leadership in the Mexican aviation market by operating our ULCC business model and focusing on VFR travelers, cost-conscious business travelers and leisure travelers. The key elements of our growth strategy include:

Remain the ULCC of Choice in our Markets. We strive to remain the ultra-low-cost carrier of choice for our existing and new customers as we continue to focus on providing an affordable, suitable, and efficient travel experience to our customers across our expanding operations in Mexico, the United States, Central and South America. Our ULCC business model enables us to operate based on low fare levels, and we intend to continue to maintain low fares to stimulate demand. We believe that we can continue to improve operating efficiencies while maintaining low costs by:

| · | fleet transition to cost-efficient Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft with higher seat density and lower fuel consumption;

| · | spreading our low fixed-cost infrastructure over a larger scale of operations;

| · | contracting operating services functions;

| · | keeping sales and marketing overhead low; and;

| · | leveraging joint procurement benefits.

Grow Non-passenger Revenues while Maintaining Low Base Fare to Stimulate Demand. We intend to increase our non-passenger revenues by further unbundling our fare structure and by offering our passengers new and innovative products and services. Through our multiple points of interaction with our customers during each stage of their travel, from ticket purchase through flight and post-trip, we have the opportunity to offer third party products on which we receive commissions, such as hotel rooms, car rentals and trip interruption insurance. In addition, we sell in-flight products and we plan to introduce and expand upon products and services that are unrelated to passenger travel. We provide a membership-based ultra-low-fare subscription service called V-Club which had approximately 1.3 million members as of December 31, 2024. The number of V-Club members increased by 60% in 2024, compared to 2023. Our zero-fare includes a V-Club membership to incentivize more customers to join our discount club and generate repeat business that will reduce our customer acquisition cost. We also continue to expand the cargo transportation services we provide on our aircraft. As we broaden our ancillary products and services and increase our non-passenger revenue, we believe that we will be able to further lower base fares and continue to stimulate demand.

Grow by Stimulating Demand in our Existing Markets. We plan to continue to grow our existing markets by adding routes that connect cities in which we currently have operations and by adding capacity on existing routes where we believe we can continue to stimulate demand. We also intend to continue to target long-distance bus passengers who we believe may be inclined to transition to air travel. To incentivize this shift, we set certain promotional fares priced lower than bus fares for similar routes. We believe that these initiatives will encourage bus travelers to opt for air travel, thereby driving growth in passenger volume.

Continue our Disciplined Fleet Growth. As of the date of this annual report, we have firm commitments for 128 Airbus A320 family aircraft that will be delivered over the next seven years, 128 from our purchase agreement with Airbus, including 22 of the next generation Airbus A320neo and 106 of the next generation Airbus A321neo, the delivery of which commenced in 2016 and 2018, respectively. During 2024, we incorporated four used A320ceo, two A320neo and eight A321neo into our fleet.

In December 2017, we entered into an agreement with Airbus to purchase 80 aircraft (46 A320neo and 34 A321neo), which Airbus committed to deliver between 2022 and 2026.

Under such agreement, we agreed to make pre-delivery payments, which shall be calculated based on the reference price of each aircraft following a formula established for such purpose in the agreement.

In July 2020, we amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule the delivery of 80 aircraft between 2023 and 2028. In October 2020, we amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule 18 aircraft deliveries between 2020 and 2022.

In November 2021, we entered into a new amendment to the purchase agreement with Airbus to purchase 39 additional A320 family NEO aircraft which Airbus committed to deliver between 2023 and 2029, under this amendment we have the option to purchase 25 additional A320 family NEO aircraft and we exercised our right to convert 20 A320neo aircraft to A321neo, one of which has been delivered as of the date of this annual report. In October 2022, we entered into a new amendment to the agreement with Airbus pursuant to which we exercised our right to purchase 25 additional A321neo aircraft which Airbus committed to deliver in 2030.

On November 26th, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Airbus to the existing purchase agreement to reschedule the deliveries for the 131 pending aircraft between 2025 and 2031.

Our fleet has reached 145 aircraft as of the date of this annual report. We intend to maintain a young and a common fleet family because we believe it is the most efficient option for our markets and operations.

Grow Passenger Volume by Profitably Establishing New Routes. We believe our focus on low fares and customer service will stimulate growth in overpriced, underserved and inefficient new markets. We will continue our disciplined approach to domestic and international market entry by using our rigorous selection process where we identify and survey possible target markets that have the potential to be profitable within our business model.

For example, in 2024, we added 18 new routes, including 9 domestic routes and 9 international routes. As part of our continuous monitoring of routes and markets for profitability, we have a proven track record of withdrawing routes that do not meet our profitability expectations. For our future growth opportunities, we have identified approximately 132 routes within Mexico serving markets in excess of 250,000 inhabitants and other leisure destinations, and that have stage lengths of at least 180 miles, and approximately 166 routes internationally that have stage lengths of at least 410 miles.

Our Operations

Passenger Revenues

Passenger revenues accounted for U.S. $3,009.7 million or 95.8% of our total operating revenues in 2024. VFR traffic makes up the largest component of our customers and we believe that our VFR customers are the most cost conscious and time/schedule flexible of all of our travelers. VFR and leisure, the second largest component of our customers, are stronger during the summer, Christmas and New Year season, followed by Easter and responds well to demand stimulation based on low fares. Cost-conscious business travelers make up the third largest component of our customers. Although business travel can be cyclical with the economy, this segment tends to travel steadily throughout the year regardless of the season.

The most significant passenger revenue includes revenues generated from: (i) fare revenue and (ii) other passenger revenues. Other passenger services include but are not limited to fees for excess baggage, bookings through the call center or third-party agencies, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes and charters. These fees are recognized as revenue when the obligation of passenger transportation service is provided or when the non-refundable ticket expires on the date of the scheduled travel.

The average fees for advance seat selection, extra legroom, carriage of sports equipment, pets and ticket changes are up to U.S. $35, U.S. $63, U.S. $210, U.S. $192 and U.S. $110, respectively. We also make trip insurance by third parties available through our website.

We recognize revenue from V-Club and other similar services as other passenger revenues when the service is provided.

V-Club membership generates income by incentivizing customers to make frequent purchases of flight tickets with Volaris, thereby strengthening our base of frequent customers and helping to reduce acquisition costs. V-Club subscriptions accounted for 1.5% of our other passenger revenues in 2024.

On January 23, 2023, our subsidiary, Concesionaria, entered into an agreement with Lealtad Mercadotecnia y Conocimientos Agregados, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (the “Supplier”), a subsidiary of Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA).

Through this agreement, Concesionaria became a participating member of a coalition that operates a loyalty program known as “Spin Premia®,” which is established and managed by the Supplier. The program offers exclusive benefits to users, enabling them to accumulate and redeem reward points with OXXO and Volaris. The agreement is set to expire in June 2025.

Non-Passenger Revenues

The most significant non-passenger revenues include: (i) revenues from other non-passenger services described below and (ii) cargo services. In 2024, we derived U.S. $132.2 million, or 4.2%, of our total operating revenues from these sources.

Revenues from other non-passenger services mainly include, but are not limited to, commissions charged to third parties for the sale of trip insurance and other services. These revenues, as well as cargo services, are recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided.

Revenues from cargo services are recognized when the cargo transportation is provided (upon delivery of the cargo to the destination).

We make efficient use of extra capacity in our aircraft by carrying cargo on our passenger flights. We offer cargo transportation services on all domestic routes. All ground cargo handling services, including storage services offered to several third party providers, and the related cost of such services, are paid by our cargo customers and are rendered by specific suppliers. We offer competitive rates and our services include reception, check-in, shipping and delivery to the final destination.

We also offer charter services, which do not represent a significant part of our total operating revenues.

We also generate revenues from the Volaris cobranded credit card (“Volaris INVEX”), from multiple revenue streams, such as: billing, redemption, free flights for new customers, among others. Revenue from the Volaris INVEX accounted for 4% of our other non-passenger revenues as of December 31, 2024. We closed 2024 with approximately 1.3 million V-Club members and 941,000 Volaris INVEX holders. For more information on V-Club and the Volaris INVEX, see “—Sales, Distribution, Marketing and Advertising—Marketing and Advertising.”

Route Network

We currently serve 73 cities throughout Mexico, the United States, Central and South America. We operate up to 550 average daily segments on routes that connect 44 cities in Mexico and 29 cities in the United States and Central and South America.

The map below sets forth the destinations we currently serve:

Our route network is designed to provide service within Mexico and between Mexico, the United States, and Central and South America, and in particular those with large Hispanic and Mexican American communities, which are primarily concentrated in California and Texas. As part of our point-to-point strategy, we generally offer direct flights between cities with high traffic demand. We believe this scheduling approach allows us to serve a greater number of cities more frequently, leading to higher load factors and increased aircraft utilization, providing us with greater flexibility in our scheduling options.

To minimize turnaround times, we schedule flights to arrive at each destination and depart shortly after. Many of our evening flights are intended to provide red-eye travel options for longer routes, appealing to customers seeking to save on lodging expenses. Meanwhile, our day flights allow us to maximize fleet utilization and airport staff efficiently.

Sales, Distribution, Marketing and Advertising

Sales and Distribution. We currently sell our products through four primary distribution channels:

| · | our website and mobile app;

| · | our call center;

| · | airports; and

| · | third parties, such as travel agents.

The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of our ticket sales and applicable fees attributed to each of our main distribution sources in 2024:

Distribution source |  | % of tickets sold |  | Fee in dollars(1)
Website and mobile app |  | 78 | % | $ | 0
Call center |  | 3 | % | $ | 21
Third-party travel agents |  | 17 | % | $ | 9
Airport counters |  | 2 | % | $ | 0

| (1) | Standard fee charged per customer.

Our website is our primary platform for ticket sales. Sales through our website and mobile app represent our lowest-cost distribution channel, and it is the channel through which we offer our lowest fares. For all other channels, we pass the additional costs associated with them to our customers.

Our passengers may pay for tickets by credit or debit card at the time of booking on our website or through our call center or in cash within 24 hours at one of the various points of payment located at several different businesses vendors we have made available. In 2024, 93.1% of our sales were paid by credit or with debit card and 6.9% by cash and other forms of payment. We have entered into agreements with Cadena Comercial OXXO, S.A. de C.V., and certain banks in Mexico, the United States, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia to provide our customers with the opportunity to pay in cash for their tickets at over 255,000 points of payment. These agreements are generally entered into for one- or two-year periods, are subject to termination upon short notice and are renewable by mutual agreement. In 2024, we paid an aggregate of U.S. $75.2 million in commissions, a portion of the cost of which was transferred to the customers using this service.

We have entered into an agreement with One Link México, S.A. de C.V. (“Onelink”) for call center services. Pursuant to this agreement, Onelink fields incoming calls from our customers and provides them with information about our fares, schedules and availability. The agreement with Onelink expires in August 2025.

We have signed agreements with Navitaire LLC and Jeppessen Systems AB, major suppliers of IT solutions in the global airline industry. Through these agreements we are provided with technology systems that allow us to conduct our operations.

Pursuant to our agreement with Navitaire LLC, they provide us with reservation services, revenue accounting services and operations management and recovery, as well as certain services related thereto. This agreement expires in February 2028, unless it is terminated with prior notice subject to certain conditions. The foregoing description of the terms of the agreement with Navitaire LLC is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy filed as an exhibit to this annual report.

Marketing and Advertising. Our marketing and advertising efforts include the use of the internet, television, radio and billboards. We focus on direct consumer marketing in our targeted markets, by offering promotional fares and maintaining a strong presence in digital media, such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Google, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 5.4 million fans on Facebook, 1.9 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), 619 thousand followers on Instagram, 55 thousand subscribers on YouTube and 233 thousand followers on TikTok, which we primarily use for marketing, customer service and promotion.

We reach our customers directly by holding promotional events that build brand recognition. We also advertise on billboards, in venues that our core consumers frequently attend, radio, television and shopping malls. We have internet promotions directed at current customers, who can register on our website. In addition, we send emails with promotions and advertisement to approximately 700 thousand e-mail addresses on a weekly basis. We strive to have the highest marketing impact at the lowest cost.

Our marketing campaign “Ponle tu apodo a un avión” is designed to connect with younger audiences through music and a fun dynamic. Participants had the chance to win a year of unlimited flights and have their nickname displayed on a fuselage, creating relevant brand awareness among upcoming generations.

We also launched “Atrévete a volar” which targets low-to-middle income travelers. Our efforts are focused on new channels and on educating individuals about the ease of air travel, with the goal of accelerating the substitution of long-distance bus travel with air transportation.

Lastly, in August 2024, we and Viva launched a joint anti-fraud campaign aimed at educating the public on how to safely purchase flight tickets. This collaboration seeks to raise awareness about the growing fraudulent ticket sales, particularly through social media and phone scams. With over 57 million passengers transported by both airlines in 2024, this initiative plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and legitimate ticket purchases for consumers.

V-Club, our annual subscription-based service, grants members exclusive first access to our lowest fares offerings. In addition, it provides members with guaranteed member-only fare sales and exclusive offers on hotels, rental cars and other travel necessities with YaVas. V-Club members may access their benefits through our website and our mobile app. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 1.3 million V-Club members, an increase of 60% compared to 2023.

We offer three types of Volaris INVEX credit cards: the Volaris INVEX 0, Volaris INVEX, and the Volaris INVEX 2.0. The Volaris INVEX 0, which has no annual fee, was launched in October 2017, and offers the following benefits:

| · | 1% cash back on all purchases to be used in Volaris;

| · | priority boarding on our flights; and additional baggage at no cost (as long as the client pays more than 50% of their reservation with their Credit Card or e-credit);

| · | deferred payment on purchases with no interest; and

| · | a 15% discount on the purchase of on-board menu items.

The Volaris INVEX launched in March 2015, and has the same benefits as the above plus 0.5% more in cashback.

The Volaris INVEX 2.0 launched in March 2015, and in the addition to the benefits listed above, it also offers at no cost: individual V-Club, 2% cash back on all purchases, LoungeKey memberships, among other benefits. As of December 31, 2024, there were 941,000 Volaris INVEX holders.

Pricing and Yield Management

Our emphasis on keeping our operating costs low has allowed us to set low base fares and increase ancillary revenues while achieving and maintaining profitability. We have designed our fare structure to balance our load factors and yields in a way that we believe will generate the highest revenue per block hour on our flights. Most of our seats are sold in the low and mid-fare ranges. Except for special offers and promotions, we do not have advance purchase restrictions, minimum stays, or any other fare restrictions, such as required Saturday night stays. For some of our flights, we set very low discounted base fares based on fares charged by bus lines for travel to the same destinations, aiming to expand our customer base by adding customers who have previously used other forms of transportation.

64

Table of Contents

Our base fare (“zero”) includes access to a V-Club membership and one personal item for domestic and international flights. Our customers may purchase additional products and services for a fee by choosing another type of fare (“basic” or “plus”) or by customizing their trip with products and services directly at any time before the flight. We increase the prices of these products and services the closer the customer purchases them to the departure date as well as using dynamic pricing. Some examples of the additional products and services that our customers may purchase include higher baggage allowances, preferred seating, and food, beverages, or other products on board. All of our fares are non-refundable and subject to change fees.

We use yield management in an effort to maximize revenues per flight, which is also linked to our route and schedule planning and sales and distribution methods. Yield management is an integrated set of business procedures, mathematical models, and historical trends that allows us to understand markets, anticipate customer behavior and respond quickly to opportunities.

The number of seats we offer at each fare class in each market is based on a continuous process of analysis and forecasting. Past booking history, seasonality, the effects of competition and current booking trends are used to forecast demand. Current fares and knowledge of upcoming events at destinations we serve that we believe will affect traffic volumes are also included in our forecasting model to arrive at an optimal seat allocation for our fares on specific routes. We use a combination of approaches, taking into account yields and flight load factors, depending on the characteristics of the markets served, to design a strategy to achieve the best possible TRASM by balancing the average fare charged and ancillary services sold against the corresponding effect on our load factors.

Customer Service

We are committed to providing our customers with value for their money and reliable, on-time performance. We believe that our low fares initially attract customers, and our service strengthens customer loyalty and enhances our brand recognition through word-of-mouth as our customers tell others about their experience.

We hire employees who we believe will treat customers in a courteous and friendly manner and emphasize customer service during their training and as part of our company culture. We call our employees ambassadors. We also focus on other details that can improve the travel experience, including on-line check-in, seat assignment options, e-ticket travel, single-class seating, and modern aircraft. We provide personalized in-cabin support for customers who need it and the option of special assistance for unaccompanied minors and seniors. We believe our customer relationship management has been a key element of our success.

We are committed to compensating our employees based on their performance and rewarding them for their contribution to our success instead of seniority. We base part of our employee compensation on customer service, which is measured through a net promoter score obtained from customer interviews. In 2024, we conducted Net Promoter Score (NPS) surveys during the year with an average of 43,196 monthly responses; as we expand our operations, this number is likely to increase.

We understand that efficient and punctual operations are important to our customers, and we intend to continue to excel in operational performance. The following table sets forth certain performance-related customer service measures for the years ended 2022, 2023, and 2024:

| 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |
On-time performance(1) | 71.2% |  | 76.9% |  | 83.6% |
Schedule completion (2) | 99.2% |  | 99.1% |  | 99.2% |
Mishandled baggage(3) | 0.7 |  | 0.7 |  | 0.7 |

| (1) | Percentage of our scheduled flights that were operated by us and that arrived on time (within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time).

| (2) | Percentage of our scheduled flights that were operated by us, whether or not delayed (i.e., not cancelled).

Competition

The airline industry is highly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the airline industry are fare pricing, total price (including ancillary services), flight schedules, aircraft type, passenger amenities, number of routes served from a city, customer service, safety record and reputation, code sharing relationships, and frequent flier programs and redemption opportunities. Our current and potential competitors include traditional legacy airlines, low-cost carriers, regional airlines and new entrant airlines. Some of our current or future competitors may have greater liquidity, access to capital and serve more routes than we do.

Our main competitive advantages are our low base fares and our focus on VFR travelers, leisure travelers and cost-conscious business travelers. These low base fares are facilitated by our low CASM, which is the lowest among the other Latin American publicly traded airlines. In 2024, our CASM was U.S. $8.03 cents, compared to an average non-stage length adjusted CASM of U.S. $10.29 cents for the other Latin American publicly traded airlines, including Azul, Copa, and LATAM. We also have lower costs than our U.S.-based publicly traded target market competitors, including Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Frontier, Spirit, Allegiant and United, which had an average non-stage-length adjusted CASM of U.S. $14.61 cents in 2024.

Our main competitors in Mexico are Grupo Aeroméxico and Viva. Internationally, we compete with Grupo Aeroméxico, Viva and many U.S.-based carriers, including Alaska, American, Delta and United. In the Mexico - Central America market, our main competitors are Grupo Aeroméxico and Avianca, while in the Central America - U.S. market our main competitors are Avianca and Delta. In the Mexico - South America market our main competitors are Grupo Aeroméxico, Viva and LATAM.

In 2024, the two Mexican ultra low-cost carriers, Volaris and Viva, held 71.3% of the domestic market based on passenger flight segments. Volaris had 33.3% of the domestic market, according to the AFAC.

As of December 31, 2024, the number of commercial aircraft in service in Mexico increased to 389, as compared to 369 as of December 31, 2023, according to AFAC. This 5% increase was comprised mainly of narrow body aircraft, including 44 Airbus A320neos, 101 Airbus A320s, 46 Boeing 737s, 43 Airbus A321neos and 20 Airbus A321s.

As of December 31, 2024, AFAC reports indicate that Grupo Aeroméxico’s subsidiaries Aeroméxico and Aeroméxico Connect, had fleets of 114 and 37 aircraft, respectively, as compared to 105 and 40, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

In April 2023, Interjet declared bankruptcy in Mexico.

Viva, our largest competitor by domestic market share in 2024, increased its fleet from 80 as of December 31, 2023 to 96 as of December 31, 2024, according to AFAC.

As of 2024, our international market share considering all airlines flying internationally to and from Mexico, remained stable at 11.4%, in line with our market share as of December 2023.

Fleet

Since we began operations in March 2006, we have increased our fleet from four to 143 aircraft (141 of them are leased, and two are owned) as of December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, we flew only Airbus A320 family aircraft, which provides us with significant operational and cost advantages compared to airlines that operate multiple fleet types. The Airbus A320 family is based on a common aircraft type with the same cabin cross-section, and virtually the same systems, cockpit controls, operating and maintenance procedures, and pilot type rating. The Airbus A320 family aircraft are fuel efficient and allow flight crews to be interchangeable across all of our aircraft while decreasing training, maintenance, spare parts inventory and other operational costs. Due to the commonality among the Airbus A320 family, we can retain the benefits of a fleet comprised of a single type of aircraft while still having the flexibility to match the capacity and range of the aircraft to the demands of each of our routes.

In December 2017, we entered into an agreement with Airbus to purchase 80 aircraft (46 A320neo and 34 A321neo), which Airbus committed to deliver between 2022 and 2026. Under such agreement, we agreed to make pre-delivery payments, which shall be calculated based on the reference price of each aircraft following a formula established for such purpose in the agreement.

66

Table of Contents

In 2020, we amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule the delivery of 98 aircraft from the order placed in December 2017 and the previous order between 2020 and 2028.

In November 2021, we entered into a new amendment to the agreement with Airbus to purchase 39 additional A320neo family aircraft which Airbus committed to deliver between 2023 and 2029. The new order includes 39 A321neo. Under such agreement, we agreed to make pre-delivery payments, which shall be calculated based on the reference price of each aircraft following a formula established for such purpose in the agreement. In connection with this amendment, we also exercised our right to convert 20 A320neo aircraft into A321neo aircraft, one of which has been delivered as of the date of this annual report.

In October 2022, we entered into a new amendment to the agreement with Airbus to purchase 25 additional A320neo family aircraft which Airbus committed to deliver in 2030. The new order includes 25 A321neo. Under such agreement, we agreed to make pre-delivery payments, which shall be calculated based on the reference price of each aircraft following a formula established for such purpose in the agreement.

In November 2024, we entered into an amendment agreement with Airbus to the existing purchase agreement to reschedule the deliveries for the 131 pending aircraft to be delivered between 2025 and 2031.

As of December 31, 2024, our fleet of 143 Airbus narrow-body aircraft consisted of three Airbus A319s, 97 A320s (53 of them are NEO) and 43 A321s (33 of them are NEO). We have a young fleet with the average age of our fleet being 6.4 years as of December 31, 2024, compared to an average of 8.7 years for the other Mexican airlines according to the AFAC. A young fleet leads to better performance reliability, greater fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs.

Consistent with our ULCC business model, each of our aircraft is configured with a single-class high density seating configuration. Our Airbus A319s accommodate up to 144 passengers, our Airbus A320s accommodate up to 186 passengers and our Airbus A321s accommodate up to 239 passengers. Each of our Airbus A320 family aircraft is equipped with IAE or P&W engines. We have taken delivery of 50 spare engines (18 of them leased, 26 under financing and six owned) for service replacement and for periodic rotation through our fleet.

The following table shows the historical development of our fleet from 2008 through December 31, 2024:

As of December 31, 2024, we have financed the acquisition of our aircraft through a combination of pre-delivery payment financing (including: (i) a revolving line of credit with Santander and Bancomext under which we act as a guarantor; (ii) financing provided by certain lessors in respect of 16 aircraft to be delivered between 2025 and 2027; and (iii) a PDP financing facility with Carlyle Aviation Management (through its vehicle Runway Eleven Lender LLC) under which we act as guarantor), purchase, sale and leaseback transactions and direct lease agreements, all of which meet the conditions for consideration as operating leases. With respect to purchases, sale and leaseback transactions, we have entered into agreements to purchase aircraft from Airbus, which are sold to lessors and simultaneously leased back through leaseback agreements. We have obtained financing for the pre-delivery payments of all the aircraft to be delivered through the first half of 2028. As of December 31, 2024, we had 141 aircraft leased pursuant to long-term lease agreements for an average term of 12.43 years. The operating leases for these aircraft expire between 2024 and 2036. We make monthly lease payments and are not required to make termination payments at the end of the lease unless there is an event of default or total loss of the aircraft. Our aircraft leases provide for fixed lease payments. We are required to make certain non-refundable monthly maintenance payments and to return the aircraft in the agreed upon condition at the end of the lease term. We are responsible for the maintenance, servicing, insurance, repair and overhaul of the aircraft during the term of the lease.

Table of Contents

The current purchase agreement with Airbus requires us to accept delivery of 131 Airbus A320 family aircraft in the next seven years (from January 2025 to December 2031). The contractual agreement provides for the addition of 131 aircraft to our fleet as follows: 14 in 2025, 11 in 2026, 7 in 2027, 19 in 2028, 22 in 2029, 30 in 2030 and 28 in 2031. As of the date of this annual report, Airbus continues reviewing its delivery schedules in light of supply chain disruptions and production line slowdowns. Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, and further since the war conflicts in Europe and Middle East, Airbus has notified us of the delay of several aircraft deliveries. Airbus has notified us of possible further delays for the following years. The basic price for each of the firm-order aircraft to be delivered pursuant to our contracts may be adjusted for changes in economic conditions as published by the United States Department of Labor. We must make pre-delivery payments at specific dates prior to the scheduled delivery. The purchase agreement with Airbus does not include the option to have fewer aircraft delivered.

Additionally, during December 2017, we entered into an agreement with Airbus to purchase 80 aircraft, which Airbus committed to deliver between 2022 and 2026. The new order includes 46 A320neo and 34 A321neo. Under such agreement, we agreed to make pre-delivery payments, which shall be calculated based on the reference price of each aircraft following a formula established for such purpose in the agreement. In November 2018, we amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule the remaining 26 aircraft deliveries between 2019 and 2022. During 2020, we amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule 98 aircraft, both from this new 80 aircraft order and the previous order, between 2020 and 2028. In November 2021 we entered into a new amendment to the referred agreement to purchase 39 additional aircraft which Airbus committed to deliver between 2023 and 2029. Additionally, we exercised its right under the agreement with Airbus to convert 20 A320neo aircraft into A321neo aircraft, one of which has been delivered as of this dat. In November 2022, we entered into a new amendment to the referred agreement to purchase 25 additional aircraft, which Airbus committed to deliver in 2030. Finally, in November 2024, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Airbus to the existing purchase agreement to reschedule the deliveries for the 131 pending aircraft between 2025 and 2031.

We have one scheduled A319 aircraft return in 2026. Additionally, as of the date of this annual report, we have 34 A320 aircraft returns in the next four years. We also have ten A321 aircraft returns in the next four years. However, if necessary, we believe we can negotiate extensions under our lease agreements as we have done in the past, which increases our fleet flexibility. In addition, in the past we have been able to lease aircraft from lessors and expect to have flexibility to do so again in the future. For more information on the risks related to our lease agreements, see Item 3: “Key Information—Risk Factors—A failure to comply with covenants contained in our aircraft or engine lease agreements, or the occurrence of an event of default thereunder, could have a negative impact on us and our financial condition and results of operations.”

Maintenance

We have mandated and approved maintenance programs required by the applicable aviation authorities, administered by our maintenance engineering and planning departments. Our maintenance technicians undergo extensive initial and ongoing training (as applicable by the aviation regulations) to ensure the safety of our operations. Line maintenance is performed by our qualified technicians, under our repair station certificates issued by the FAA and AFAC and by maintenance providers that hold the necessary certifications.

Aircraft maintenance and repair consists of routine and non-routine works and is mainly divided into three general categories: routine maintenance, major maintenance and component service. Routine line maintenance requirements consist of scheduled maintenance checks on our aircraft, including pre-flight, daily, weekly, and overnight checks, any diagnostics and routine repairs and any unscheduled tasks that are performed as required. Routine line maintenance events are normally performed by in-house mechanics and are primarily completed at the main airports we currently serve, supported by sub-contracted companies. Routine line maintenance also includes scheduled tasks that can typically take from six to 12 days to complete and are required every 24 or 36 months, as applicable, such as 24-month checks and C checks.

Major maintenance consists of a series of more complex tasks, including structural checks of the airframe, that can take up to six weeks to complete and are typically required every six years. Due to our fleet size and projected fleet growth, we believe outsourcing all of our major maintenance, such as engine servicing and major part repairs, is more efficient. We have entered into a long-term flight hour agreement with IAE and P&W for our engine overhaul services and LHT on a power-by-hour basis for component services. We contract with LHT for certain technical services and Aeroman for our heavy airframe maintenance. Aeroman is a FAA and AFAC-approved maintenance provider.

Safety

We are committed to the safety and security of our passengers and employees. Some of the safety and security measures we have taken include (i) aircraft security and surveillance, (ii) positive bag matching procedures, (iii) enhanced passenger and baggage screening and search procedures, and (iv) secured cockpit doors. We strive to comply with or exceed health and safety regulation standards. In pursuing these goals, we maintain an active aviation safety program and all of our personnel are expected to participate in the program and take an active role in the identification, reduction and elimination of hazards.

Our ongoing focus on safety relies on training our employees to use the proper safety equipment and take the proper safety measures by providing them with the tools and equipment they require to perform their job functions in a safe and efficient manner. Safety in the workplace targets several areas of our operation including flight operations, maintenance, in-flight, dispatch and station operations. We have received the IOSA (IATA’s Operational Safety Audit) certification.

The TSA is charged with aviation security for both airlines and airports in the United States. We maintain active, open lines of communication with the TSA at all of our locations to ensure proper standards for the security of our personnel, customers, equipment and facilities are exercised throughout our operation. In Mexico, the Mexican Civil Aeronautic Authority through the Assistant General Aviation Authority (Dirección General Adjunta de Aviación) is in charge of air traffic safety and has the authority to establish or modify the operations condition of air traffic and to coordinate and control the airports. See Item 4: “Information of the Company—History and Development of the Company.”

Fuel

Fuel is a major cost component for airlines and is our largest operating expense. Fuel accounted for 46%, 38%, and 33% of our total operating expenses in 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. We purchase fuel in Mexico from ASA, who is also in charge of supplying it directly to our aircraft in Mexico. As established in our agreement with ASA, the fuel price is determined weekly by ASA based on international prices published by S&P Platt’s, the price of the services is determined by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, and the storage costs are determined by the Energy Regulatory Commission. Our agreement with ASA may be terminated without penalty by either party with a 30-days prior notice. We purchase our fuel outside of Mexico under fuel supply service contracts with World Fuel Services, AvFuel, Shell, BP Products North America, Chevron, Associated Energy Group, Puma Energy Group, Total Energies, Titan, Vitol and Terpel fuel service contracts. Historically, fuel costs have experienced substantial variances, which cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty since they are subject to many global and geopolitical factors. Fuel prices are dependent on crude oil prices, which are quoted in U.S. dollars. If the value of the U.S. dollar rises against the peso, our fuel costs, expressed in pesos, may increase even absent any increase in the U.S. dollar price of crude oil. Our fuel hedging policy allows us to enter into fuel derivative contracts to hedge against changes in fuel prices up to 18 months forward subject to certain financing controls. See Item 3: “Key Information—Risk Factors—Our fuel hedging strategy may not reduce our fuel costs.”

Insurance

We maintain insurance policies we believe are customary in the airline industry and as required by the Mexican and U.S. aviation authorities. We maintain all insurance policies required by the aviation authorities in the markets we operate in, as well as our leasing and financing agreements. We believe that this insurance coverage is consistent with airline industry standards and appropriate to protect us from material loss in light of the activities we conduct. No assurances can be given, however, that the amount of insurance we carry will be sufficient to protect us from material losses.

In connection with our operations, we carry insurance coverage against loss and damages, including those caused by war and terrorist risks or to our passengers or third-party property, for our entire fleet of aircraft, spares and equipment. We also hold non-aviation insurance coverage that includes directors’ and officers’ liability, cyber risk liability, damage to property, vehicles value and liability, life and major medical expenses insurance for our employees.

Events such as conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or any future aircraft emergency, accident or similar incident even if it does not involve our airline could increase aircraft damage and liability premiums or reduce coverage scope. See Item 3: “Key Information—Risk Factors—Increases in insurance costs and/or significant reductions in coverage would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

Corporate Sustainability Strategy

In 2024, we continue to make efforts to advance the incorporation of our corporate sustainability strategy into business practices. The strategy is comprised of three main pillars: Environmental, Social, and Economic and Governance, which aim to direct the efforts of the business toward a sustainable future growth while simultaneously creating value for our stakeholders.

The Environmental pillar aims to achieve our commitments related to emissions reduction and respond to regulatory requirements. We have taken the following initiatives:

| · | Through our Fuel Saving Program, we aim to optimize our jet fuel consumption and to reduce carbon emissions. We address this goal by acquiring the best available and cost-efficient technology as part of our fleet renewal efforts. In 2024, our fleet had an average age of 6.4 years, with 60% of our aircraft being NEO and 88% equipped with sharklets, enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing CO₂ emissions per ASM. Moreover, we implement operational initiatives such as route optimization, flight techniques, reduction of auxiliary power unit usage, and reduction of onboard weight, among others.

| · | We also have initiatives to reduce paper and electricity consumption, reduce waste, promote recycling, and promote efforts of voluntary carbon offsetting with our customers.

| · | Moreover, in April 2023, the Company announced an investment agreement alongside Indigo Partners, GenZero, Cleanhill Partners, Frontier Airlines, and Wizz Air, which aims to accelerate the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) worldwide through the North American CleanJoule. As a crucial means to mitigate carbon emissions in the aviation sector, SAFs offer a low-carbon alternative to conventional jet fuel, derived from renewable sources like waste oils, agricultural residues, and non-food crops. Despite their potential, SAFs currently lack widespread availability and cost-competitiveness to replace fossil fuels in our operations. SAFs contribute to less than 1% of global commercial aviation fuel usage due to limited supply.

| · | Additionally, we manage and improve our environmental programs through the Integrated Airline Management System, which is certified by ISO 14001 and 9001. We comply with the applicable international and national regulations regarding environmental matters, such as CORSIA, and on a voluntary basis adopted standards and frameworks to disclose information. Moreover, we have third-party limited assurances that support that we are complying with CO2 emissions measurement, as required by the national and international regulations. In 2021, we joined IATA’s aviation industry initiative Fly Net Zero, to contribute to the decarbonization of the industry.

The Social pillar aims to strengthen our commitment to people. This includes our employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. Our labor practices are designed to support solid labor relationships and the well-being of our employees through the Volaris Culture, which is comprised of: (i) our vision: transcending by creating and materializing the best travel experiences; (ii) our mission: with the best people and at a low cost, we enable more people to travel well; (iii) our behaviors: credibility, respect, impartiality, camaraderie, pride and sustainability, and (iv) our focus areas: safety, customer service, and sustained profitability.

Through a competitive benefits plan that exceeds applicable legal requirements, we seek to attract, develop, and retain the talent of competent and professional people. We are also committed to continuing to monitor the occupational safety and health of our employees. To that end, we have a series of initiatives that are focused on promoting a workplace free of violence and harassment, fostering the conditions necessary for equal opportunities, and providing appropriate and frequent training to assure the sustained well-being of our employees. Additionally, our corporate volunteer program aims to promote a culture of volunteering and a sense of belonging among our employees.

Moreover, the positive relationships with the communities in which we operate are integral to our Social pillar, as we believe it generates value and engagement. In 2024, we continued extending our community support. With our Avión Ayuda Volaris Program, we utilize available capacity in our aircraft to transport free of charge organs and tissues for transplant purposes, volunteers, medical personnel, and humanitarian cargo, and bring humanitarian aid to communities in crisis, including those impacted by natural disasters and other emergencies, through strategic alliances.

Furthermore, we seek to promote the protection of the rights of children and teenagers who travel with us, safeguarding them from potential human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation in the context of travel and tourism. In 2013, we became the first airline in Latin America—and the second worldwide—to adopt “The Code”, an initiative by ECPAT International dedicated to protecting children and teenagers from human trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation. Through this program, we implemented a dedicated protocol and provide annual training for all our employees. At the end of 2023, we decided to update and expand the protocol to our destinations in Central and South America. In 2024, we reinforced this commitment by updating our protocol, enhancing training for our employees, and recognizing their role in this initiative. Simultaneously, we strengthened awareness efforts and encouraged stakeholders to take action against this crime by fully deploying our campaign, “Ojos en el Cielo” (Eyes in the Sky), to join the efforts against human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. The Social pillar also prioritizes the well-being, safety, health, and rights protection of our customers. We strive to strictly comply with the highest safety standards according to domestic and international regulations. In a year of growth for us, as 2024 was, we continued to focus on operational safety, maintained the IOSA certification, and were rated as one of the safest airlines worldwide by Airlineratings.com.

Through our Economic and Governance pillar we developed initiatives and actions that allow us to reduce costs, optimize resources, increase operational efficiency and reliability. We also aim to lawfully engage and advocate for the creation of public policies consistent with our corporate sustainability strategy, manage our corporate reputation, and develop clear communication channels with our stakeholders. Moreover, our business values, ethics, and legality are influenced through our anti-corruption and anti-bribery practices, as well as through risk and crisis management systems, as we aim to protect information, and personal data, and transparency in all our processes.

In 2024, these efforts culminated in our current inclusion in the S&P Dow Jones Best-in-Class Index, known as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index until February 2025, as one of the eight airlines included worldwide, and the only airline in the MILA Pacific Alliance Index.

D. Property, Plants and Equipment

We lease all of our facilities at each of the airports we serve. Our leases for our terminal passenger service facilities, which include ticket counter, gate space, operations support area and baggage service offices, generally are for terms ranging from one to three years and contain provisions for periodic adjustments of lease rates. We expect to either renew these leases or find alternative space that would permit us to continue providing our services. Under the terms of these leases, we are responsible for maintenance, insurance and other facility-related expenses and services. We have also entered into use agreements at each of the airports we serve that provide for the non-exclusive use of runways, taxiways and other facilities. Landing fees under these agreements are based on the number of landings and weight of the aircraft. In addition, we sublease a hangar facility at Tijuana airport and an additional platform through June 30, 2027 and July 1, 2031, respectively.

Our primary corporate offices and headquarters are located in Mexico City at Av. Antonio Dovalí Jaime No.70, 13th Floor, Tower B, Colonia Zedec Santa Fe, México City, zip code 01210, where we lease 6,656 square meters pursuant to a lease that is expected to expire in June 2031.

Key Performance Indicators

The following measures are often provided and used by our management, analysts, and investors to enhance comparability of year-over-year results, as well as to compare results to other airlines: Revenue passenger miles, or RPMs; Average passenger revenue per booked passenger; Average non-passenger revenue per booked passenger; Total operating revenue per ASM, or TRASM; Passenger Revenue per ASMS, or RASM; Operating expenses per ASM, or CASM; CASM ex fuel, and average economic fuel cost per gallon. Average passenger revenue per booked passenger represents the total passenger revenue divided by booked passengers. The CASM ex fuel represents total operating expenses, net excluding fuel expense divided by ASMs. Average economic fuel cost per gallon represents total fuel expense net of hedging effect, divided by the total number of fuel gallons consumed. We believe this operating data is useful in reporting the operating performance of our business, however, these measures may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.

Description of Our Principal Line Items

Passenger Revenues

Our passenger revenues include: (i) passenger revenues and (ii) other passenger revenues.

We derive our operating revenues primarily from transporting passengers on our aircraft and some tickets sold by other airlines such as Frontier. 48% of our total operating revenues were derived from passenger fares in 2024. Passenger revenues are based upon our capacity, load factor and the average passenger revenue per booked passenger. Our capacity is measured in terms of ASMs, which represents the number of seats we make available on our aircraft multiplied by the number of miles the seats are flown. Load factor, or the percentage of our capacity that is actually used by paying customers, is calculated by dividing RPMs by ASMs. The average passenger revenues per booked passenger represents the total passenger revenue divided by booked passengers.

Our most significant passenger revenue includes revenues generated from: (i) fare revenue and (ii) other passenger revenues. Other passenger services include but are not limited to fees charged for excess baggage, bookings through the call center or third-party agencies, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes and charters. They are recognized as revenue when the obligation of passenger transportation service is provided by the Company or when the non-refundable ticket expires on the date of the scheduled travel. 48% of our total operating revenues were derived from other passenger revenues in 2024.

We also classify as other passenger revenue “V-Club” and other similar services, which are recognized as revenue over time when the service is provided.

Non-Passenger Revenues

The most significant non-passenger revenues include revenues generated from: (i) revenues from other non-passenger services described below and (ii) cargo services. In 2024, we derived U.S. $132.2 million, or 4.2%, of our total operating revenues from these sources.

Revenues from other non-passenger services mainly include but are not limited to commissions charged to third parties for the sale of trip insurance and other services. These as well as cargo services, are recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided.

We also evaluate, in each new transaction where applicable, the principal versus agent considerations concerning certain non-air travel service arrangements with third-party providers. When we determine that the underlying services are provided through third parties who are primarily responsible for providing the services, revenue for these specific non-air travel services is presented on a net basis (agent).

Revenue Recognition

Passenger revenues

Revenues from the air transportation of passengers are recognized at the earlier of when the service is provided or when the non-refundable ticket expires on the date of the scheduled travel.

Ticket sales for future flights are initially recognized as contract liabilities under the caption “unearned transportation revenue” and, once we provide the transportation service or when the non-refundable ticket expires on the date of the scheduled travel, the earned revenue is recognized as passenger ticket revenues and the unearned transportation revenue is reduced by the same amount. All of our tickets are non-refundable; however, certain tickets may be changed upon payment of a fee. Additionally, we do not operate our own frequent flier program.

The most significant passenger revenue includes revenues generated from: (i) fare revenue and (ii) other passenger revenues. Other passenger services include but are not limited to fees charged for excess baggage, bookings through the call center or third-party agencies, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes and charters. They are recognized as revenue when the obligation of passenger transportation service is provided by us or when the non-refundable ticket expires on the date of the scheduled travel.

We also classify as other passenger revenues “V-Club” and other similar services, which are recognized as revenue over time when the service is provided.

77

Table of Contents

We sell certain connecting flight tickets with one or more segments operated by other airline partners. For segments operated by one of our airline partners, we have determined that we are acting as an agent on behalf of such airline partners as we are responsible for a portion of the contract (i.e., transportation of the passenger). When we act as the agent, we recognize revenue within other passenger revenues at the time of travel, for the net amount retained by us for any segments flown by the other airline.

Non-passenger revenues

The most significant non-passenger revenues include revenues generated from: (i) revenues from other non-passenger services described below and (ii) cargo services.

Revenues from other non-passenger services mainly include, but are not limited to, commissions charged to third parties for the sale of trip insurance and other services. These revenues, as well as cargo services, are recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided.

We also evaluate, in each new transaction where applicable, the principal versus agent considerations concerning certain non-air travel service arrangements with third-party providers. When we determine that the underlying services are provided through third parties who are primarily responsible for providing the services, revenue for these specific non-air travel services is presented on a net basis (agent). We are also required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and airports and remit these back to the applicable governmental entity or airport on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees include value added tax, federal transportation taxes, federal security charges, airport passenger facility charges, and foreign arrival and departure taxes. These items are collected from customers at the time they purchase their tickets but are not included in passenger revenue. We record a liability when we receive payment from the customer and discharge the liability when payments are remitted to the applicable governmental entity or airport.

Contract with FEMSA

On January 23, 2023, our subsidiary Concesionaria, entered into an agreement with Lealtad Mercadotecnia y Conocimientos Agregados, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (the “Supplier”), a subsidiary of Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA). Through this agreement, Concesionaria became a participating company in a coalition that integrates a Loyalty Program known as “Spin Premia®”, which is established and managed by the Supplier. The program offers exclusive benefits to users, enabling them to accumulate and redeem reward points with OXXO and Volaris. The agreement is set to expire in June 2025.

Operating Expenses, net

Our operating expenses consist of the following line items.

Other Operating Income. Other operating income primarily includes gains from sale and leaseback transactions and the compensation received from the manufactuer related to preventive accelerated engine inspections.

Fuel expense. Fuel expense is our single largest operating expense. It includes the cost of fuel, fuel taxes, fueling into-plane fees and transportation fees. It also includes realized gains and losses that arise from any fuel price derivative activity qualifying for hedge accounting.

Landing, Take-off and Navigation Expenses. Landing, take-off and navigation expenses include airport fees, handling charges, rents, and variable facility-related costs, such as the fees charged by airports for the use or lease of airport facilities, as well as costs associated with ground handling services provided by specific suppliers. These expenses also include route charges, which are the costs incurred for the use of a country’s or territory’s airspace, which are typically levied based on the distance flown through that airspace.

Depreciation of right–of–use assets. Depreciation of right-of-use assets includes the depreciation of all aircraft and engine leases and some land and building leases that qualify under IFRS 16.

78

Table of Contents

Under IFRS 16, at the commencement date of a lease, a lessee recognizes a liability for making lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees are required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. Lessees are also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., changes in the scope of the lease agreement). The lessee generally recognizes the amount of remeasurement as a change in the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. In addition, for leases denominated in a foreign currency other than our functional currency the lease liability will be remeasured at each reporting date, using the foreign exchange of the period.

Salaries and Benefits. Salaries and benefits expenses includes the salaries, hourly wages, employee health insurance coverage and variable compensation that are provided to employees for their services, as well as the related expenses associated with employee benefit plans and employer payroll taxes.

Maintenance Expenses. Maintenance expenses include all parts, materials, repairs and fees for repairs performed by third party suppliers directly required to maintain our fleet. It excludes the direct labor cost of our own mechanics, which is included under salaries and benefits and only includes routine and ordinary maintenance expenses. Major maintenance expenses are capitalized and subsequently amortized as described in “Depreciation and Amortization.”

Sales, Marketing and Distribution Expenses. Sales, marketing and distribution expenses consist of advertising and promotional expenses directly related to our services, including the cost of web support, call center services, travel agent commissions, and credit card discount fees that are associated with the sale of tickets and other products and services.

Aircraft and Engine Variable Lease Expenses. Aircraft and engine variable expenses primarily include the estimated return costs of our fleet, which are determined in accordance with IAS 37, which in no case are related to scheduled major maintenance. Additionally, aircraft and engine variable lease expenses include the maintenance deposit we pay to the lessor as maintenance reserves, when we determine that we will not recover such deposits in whole or in part. In these cases, we record these amounts as supplemental rents in the statements of operations from the time the determination is made through the remaining lease term.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses include: (i) administrative and operational support expenses, (ii) technology and communications and (iii) insurance expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of all owned flight equipment, furniture, and other equipment, as well as leasehold improvements related to flight equipment. It also includes the amortization of major maintenance events that are accounted for under the deferral accounting method. These deferred costs, related to the aging of our fleet, are amortized over the shorter of the period until the next scheduled major maintenance event or the remaining term of the lease.

Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Our Business

We believe our operating and business performance is driven by various factors that affect airlines and their markets, trends affecting the broader travel industry, and trends affecting the specific markets and customer base that we target. The following key factors may affect our future performance.

Continued conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East. Following the geopolitical crisis in Eastern Europe, on February 21, 2022, the Russian Federation recognized the independence of the Ukrainian separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas region. The next day, the Federal Council of Russia authorized use of military force abroad, which triggered an invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Armed Forces on February 24, 2022.

The invasion was widely condemned internationally with several sanctions being imposed against Russia and Belarus. As a result, the global markets reacted negatively, with fuel prices surging to their highest level since 2008 amid global concerns on the commodity supply, affecting costs for the aviation industry in 2022. However, according to IATA, as of 2023, the war in Ukraine has not yet significantly impacted the profitability of most airlines. Nonetheless, if the conflict - escalates, it holds the potential for adverse effects on the global aviation industry. Political conflicts are already impacting global trade and could potentially lead to a downturn in aviation.

Moreover, the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, triggered by attacks between Israel and Iran in April 2024, has heightened geopolitical tensions in the region. This direct confrontation between Iran and Israel marks a significant escalation in their long-standing political and religious tensions. The uncertainty surrounding the conflict and the potential responses of each country has reverberated throughout the financial markets. Notably, the price of Brent crude oil surged to over U.S. $90 per barrel reaching its highest level since the Gaza Strip conflict in October 2023. This uptick in oil prices poses a significant risk to the aviation industry.

The Iran-Israel conflict has broader implications beyond the immediate region, and the tensions between these two nations have the potential to impact other countries in the Middle East and beyond, with the possibility of the conflict further exacerbating geopolitical instability and economic uncertainty globally.

The airline industry is impacted by the price and availability of fuel. Fuel is our largest cost, representing 33% of our total operating expense in 2024, and continuous volatility in fuel costs or significant disruptions in the supply of fuel could have a material adverse effect on our business, statements of operations and financial position.

Since the contractual agreements with jet fuel suppliers include reference to jet fuel index, we are exposed to fuel price risk which might have an impact on the forecasted consumption volumes. Our jet fuel risk management policy aims to provide the Company with protection against increases in jet fuel prices. In an effort to mitigate fuel price risk, the risk management policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments available on over the counter (“OTC”) markets with approved counterparties and within approved limits.

We cannot assure that this macroeconomic disruption would not adversely affect our financial performance since we can neither control nor accurately predict the performance of fuel prices in the global markets or its availability in the airports in which we operate. Due to the large proportion of fuel costs in our total operating cost base, even a relatively small increase in the price of fuel can have a significant negative impact on our operating expenses and on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Along with the cost pressure due to the higher fuel price, this major disruption in the global economy has also raised concerns regarding inflationary pressures and the global economic growth rate. Such disruption in inflation indexes could affect our cost in the near future, as several contracts are subject to annual adjustments based on historical inflation ratios. A reduction in the economy’s growth pace could also adversely impact demand for air transport services, potentially affecting our financial performance.

Economic Conditions in Mexico. Mexico’s GDP is expected to grow by 2.0% per year for the next ten years according to the Mexican Central Bank, compared to a 1.8% annual growth rate for the United States during the same period as reported by the U.S. Federal Reserve. See “Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Airline Industry—Public health threats, such as the H1N1 flu virus, the bird flu, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the Zika virus, COVID-19 and other highly communicable diseases, could affect suspension of domestic and international flights, travel behavior and could have a material adverse effect on the Mexican economy, airline industry reputation, the price of our shares, our business, results of operations and financial condition”.

In terms of population dynamics as of 2020, the INEGI intercensal survey revealed that approximately 34% of the Mexican population was under 20 years of age. This presents a favorable outlook as it provides a solid foundation for potential passenger growth. Furthermore, the inflation rate in Mexico in 2024 was 4.21%, based on data from the INEGI. Despite this inflation rate, as of December 31, 2024, Mexico’s international reserves were U.S. $228.8 billion.

Competition. The airline industry is highly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the airline industry are fare pricing, total price, flight schedules, aircraft type, passenger amenities and related services, number of routes served from a city, customer service, safety record and reputation, code-sharing relationships and frequent flier programs and redemption opportunities. Our current and potential competitors include traditional legacy airlines, low-cost carriers, regional airlines and new entrant airlines, such as New Mexicana de Aviación. We typically compete in markets served by legacy carriers and other low-cost carriers, and, to a lesser extent, regional airlines. Some of our current or future competitors may have greater liquidity and access to capital and may serve more routes than we do.

Our main competitive advantages are our low base fares and our focus on VFR travelers, leisure travelers and cost-conscious business travelers. These low base fares are facilitated by our low CASM, which is the lowest among Latin American publicly traded airlines. In 2024, our CASM was U.S. $8.03 cents, compared to an average non-stage length adjusted CASM of U.S. $10.29 cents for the other Latin American publicly traded airlines, including Azul, Copa, and LATAM. We also have lower costs than our U.S.-based publicly traded target market competitors, including Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Frontier, Spirit, Allegiant and United, which had an average non-stage-length adjusted CASM of U.S. $14.61 cents in 2024.

Our main competitors in Mexico are Grupo Aeroméxico and Viva. Internationally, we compete with Grupo Aeroméxico, Viva and many U.S.-based carriers, including Alaska, American, Delta and United. In the Mexico - Central America market, our main competitors are Grupo Aeroméxico and Avianca, while in the Central America - U.S. market our main competitors are Avianca and Delta. In the Mexico - South America market our main competitors are Grupo Aeroméxico, Viva and LATAM.

In 2024, the two Mexican ultra low-cost carriers, Volaris and Viva, held 71.3% of the domestic market based on passenger flight segments. Volaris had 33.3% of the domestic market, according to the AFAC.

As of December 31, 2024, the number of commercial aircraft in service in Mexico increased to 389, as compared to 369 as of December 31, 2023, according to AFAC. This 5% increase was comprised mainly of narrow body aircraft, including 44 Airbus A320neos, 101 Airbus A320s, 46 Boeing 737s, 43 Airbus A321neos and 20 Airbus A321s.

As of December 31, 2024, AFAC reports indicate that Grupo Aeroméxico’s subsidiaries Aeroméxico and Aeroméxico Connect, had fleets of 114 and 37 aircraft, respectively, as compared to 105 and 40, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

In April 2023, Interjet declared bankruptcy in Mexico.

Viva, our largest competitor by domestic market share in 2024, increased its fleet from 80 as of December 31, 2023 to 96 as of December 31, 2024, according to AFAC.

As of 2024, our international market share considering all airlines flying internationally to and from Mexico, remained stable at 11.4%, consistent with our market share in December 2023. We also face domestic competition from ground transportation alternatives, primarily long-distance bus companies. There is a large bus industry in Mexico, with total passenger segments of approximately 3.1 billion in 2023, of which approximately 83.7 million were executive and luxury passenger segments, according to the SICT in Mexico and which could include both long- and short-distance travel. We set certain of our promotional fares at prices lower than bus fares for similar routes in order to stimulate demand for air travel among passengers who in the past have traveled long distances primarily by bus. There are limited passenger rail services in Mexico.

Our main competitors for the international routes between Mexico and the United States are Grupo Aeroméxico, Alaska, American, Delta and United. We reached 48.2% market share on the routes that we operate and 14.8% market share considering all routes between Mexico and the United States in 2024, according to the AFAC.

Seasonality and Volatility. Our results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of those for the entire year because our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. We generally expect demand to be greater during the summer, during December and around Easter, which can fall either in the first or second quarter, compared to the rest of the year. Our business is also volatile and highly affected by economic cycles and trends. Consumer confidence and discretionary spending, fear of terrorism or war, health outbreaks, weakening economic conditions, fare initiatives, fluctuations in fuel prices, labor actions, weather and other factors have resulted in significant fluctuations in our revenues and results of operations in the past. We believe, however, that demand for business travel historically has been more sensitive to economic pressures than demand for low-price leisure and VFR travel, which are the primary markets we serve.

Fuel. Fuel costs represent the single largest operating expense for most airlines, including ours, and accounted for 46%, 38%, and 33% of our total operating expenses for 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. Fuel availability and pricing are subject to refining capacity, periods of market surplus and shortage, and demand for heating oil, gasoline and other petroleum products, as well as economic, social and political factors and other events occurring throughout the world, which we can neither control nor predict. For 2025, we expect the fuel prices to remain volatile due to uncertainties regarding the political and macroeconomic environment.

Since the contractual agreements with jet fuel suppliers include reference to jet fuel index, we are exposed to fuel price risk which might have an impact on the forecasted consumption volumes. Our jet fuel risk management policy aims to provide the Company with protection against increases in jet fuel prices. In an effort to mitigate fuel price risk, the risk management policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments available on OTC markets with approved counterparties and within approved limits.

The sensitivity analysis provided below presents the impact of a change of U.S. $0.01 per gallon in fuel market spot price in our financial performance. Considering these figures, an increase of U.S. $0.01 per gallon in the fuel prices during 2023 and 2024 would have impacted our operating expenses by U.S. $3,719 thousand and U.S. $3,227 thousand, respectively.

|  | For the years ended December 31,
|  | 2023 |  | 2024
|  | Operating costs |  | Operating costs
|  | (In thousands of U.S. dollars)
+ U.S. $0.01 per gallon |  | 3,719 |  | 3,227
- U.S. $0.01 per gallon |  | (3,719) |  | (3,227)

We have been proactively trying to mitigate this impact over our business through revenue yielding and a continued effort towards reducing fuel consumption. Nonetheless, our ability to pass on any significant increases in fuel costs through fare increases is also limited by our ultra-low-cost business model and market high elasticity to price.

In September 2024, we entered into Asian call options on US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 to hedge 25.8 million gallons, covering a portion of the projected fuel consumption for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. In October 2024, we executed additional Asian call options on US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 to hedge an additional 14.5 million gallons, also corresponding to a portion of the anticipated fuel consumption for the same periods.

Our fuel cost is referenced mainly to Platts US Gulf Coast and Platts US West Coast, which are the commodities utilized to determine the cost of the fuel provided by most of our suppliers. As of December 31, 2024, we purchased most of the domestic fuel under the ASA fuel service contract, and our international fuel under the World Fuel Services, AvFuel, Shell, BP Products North America, Chevron, Associated Energy Group, Puma Energy Group, Total Energies, Titan, Vitol and Terpel fuel service contracts. The cost and future availability of fuel cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.

The airline industry is impacted by the price and availability of fuel. Fuel is our largest cost, representing 33% of our total operating expense in 2024, and continuous volatility in fuel costs or significant disruptions in the supply of fuel could have a material adverse effect on our business, statements of operations and financial position.

Currency fluctuations. The value of the U.S. dollar has been subject to significant fluctuations with respect to the Mexican peso in the past and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. If the Mexican peso decreases in value against the U.S. dollar, our operating demand could be adversely affected.

We manage our foreign exchange risk exposure by a policy of matching, to the extent possible, receipts and local payments in each individual currency. However, we are exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the peso.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, our net liability monetary position of Mexican pesos and other currencies denominated in U.S. dollars was U.S. $0.2 billion and U.S. $0.4 billion, respectively. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, as a consequence of either the appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the peso, and our net monetary liability position in Mexican peso and other currencies, we recorded foreign exchange gains (losses) of U.S. $3.6 million, U.S. $(34.1) million and U.S. $13.7 million, respectively.

Maintenance Expenses. We are required to conduct varying levels of aircraft and engine maintenance, which involve significantly different labor and materials inputs. Maintenance requirements depend on the age and type of aircraft and the route network over which they operate (flight duration and frequency of flights). Fleet maintenance requirements may involve short cycle maintenance checks, for example, daily checks, weekly checks, component checks, monthly checks, annual airframe checks and periodic major maintenance and engine checks. Aircraft maintenance and repair costs for routine and non-routine maintenance are divided into three general categories:

| · | Routine line maintenance requirements consist of scheduled maintenance checks on our aircraft, including pre-flight, daily, weekly checks, any diagnostics and routine repairs and any unscheduled tasks performed as required. These types of maintenance events are currently performed by our mechanics and are primarily completed at the main airports that we currently serve supported by sub-contracted companies.

| · | Certain maintenance activities, due to limited internal capabilities or capacity, are sub-contracted to qualified maintenance, repair and overhaul organizations. Routine maintenance also includes scheduled tasks that can take from six to 12 days to accomplish and are required every 24 or 36 months, such as 24-month checks and C checks. All routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

| · | Heavy or major maintenance to the airframe (including structural checks) consists of a series of more complex tasks, that can take from four to six weeks to accomplish and are generally required approximately every six years. Major maintenance is accounted for under the deferral method, whereby the costs of major maintenance, and major overhauls and repairs are capitalized as leasehold improvements to flight equipment and amortized over the shorter period of the next major maintenance event or the remaining lease term.

| · | Engine services are performed pursuant to an engine flight hour agreement that guarantees a cost performance restoration shop visit, provides miscellaneous engine coverage, contributes to the cost of foreign objects damage events, ensures protection from annual escalations for engine repair services and grants credit for certain scrapped components. We also have a power by hour agreement for component services, which guarantees the availability of the aircraft components for our fleet when they are required and provides aircraft components to meet redelivery conditions of the leasing contract with a capped cost at the time of redelivery. The costs associated with the miscellaneous engine coverage and the component services agreements are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Due to the young age of our fleet, 6.4 years on average as of December 31, 2024, maintenance expense in 2022, 2023, and 2024, remained relatively low. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, we capitalized major maintenance events as part of leasehold improvements to the flight equipment by the amount of U.S. $138.8 million, U.S. $139.8 million, and U.S. $129.4 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, the amortization of these deferred major maintenance expenses was U.S. $83.1 million, U.S. $114.9 million, and U.S. $150.6 million, respectively. The amortization of deferred maintenance expenses is included in depreciation and amortization rather than total maintenance costs as described in “Other Accounting Polices and Estimates.” In 2022, 2023, and 2024 total maintenance expenses amounted to U.S. $97.8 million, U.S. $98.4 million, and U.S. $100.4 million, respectively. As the fleet ages, we expect that maintenance costs will increase in absolute terms. The amount of total maintenance costs and related amortization of heavy maintenance expense is subject to many variables such as future utilization rates, average stage length, the size and makeup of the fleet in future periods and the level of unscheduled maintenance events and their actual costs. Accordingly, we cannot reliably quantify future maintenance expenses for any significant period. However, we estimate that based on our scheduled maintenance events, current major maintenance expense and maintenance-related amortization expense will be approximately U.S. $173.5 million and U.S. $185.3 million, respectively, in 2025.

Maintenance Deposits Paid to Lessors. Certain of our aircraft and engine lease agreements require us to pay maintenance deposits to lessors as a guarantee for the performance of major maintenance activities. These deposits are recorded as a guarantee deposit in our consolidated statements of financial position. See Item 5: “Other Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Ramp-up Period for New Routes. We opened 25 new routes, 58 new routes and 18 new routes, during 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. As we continue to grow, we would expect to continue to experience a lag between when new routes are put into service and when they reach their full profit potential. See Item 3: “Key Information—Risk Factors—Airline consolidations and reorganizations could adversely affect the industry.”

Critical Accounting Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of supplemental assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements. Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included herein provides a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those policies that reflect significant judgments or estimates about matters that are both inherently uncertain and material to our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

Return obligations.

Our aircraft and engine lease agreements require specific return conditions, which are described as follows:

| a) | Modifications to the underlying asset to meet the return conditions stipulated in the lease agreement, typically related to aircraft standardization and painting which can be reasonably estimated at the beginning of the lease agreement. These costs are initially recognized at present value as part of the right-of-use assets.

| b) | Aircraft components (airframe, APU and landing gears) and engines (overhaul and limited life parts) must be returned to lessors under specific conditions of maintenance. Return costs, which are not related to scheduled major maintenance, are estimated and recognized ratably as a provision from the time it becomes probable that such costs will be incurred and they can be reliably estimated. These return costs are recognized as a component of variable lease expenses and the provision is remeasured and presented as part of other liabilities, through the remaining lease term. We estimate the provision related to aircraft components and engines using certain assumptions, which include the projected usage of the aircraft and the expected costs of maintenance tasks to be performed. This provision is made in relation to the present value of the expected future costs of meeting the return conditions.

As a result of the aircraft and engine lease extension agreements entered into during the year ended December 31, 2024, we reassessed our return liabilities. The effects of this remeasurement were presented as part of the variable lease expenses for aircraft and engines in our consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, we recorded net redelivery expenses of U.S. $124.5 million, U.S. $103.8 million, and U.S. $135.2 million, respectively.

Other Accounting Policies and Estimates

Other accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Statement Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Operations are presented as follows:

Maintenance Deposits Paid to Lessors.

Certain of the Company´s lease agreements include the obligation to pay maintenance deposits to lessors to guarantee major maintenance events.

These lease agreements provide that maintenance deposits are reimbursable to us upon completion of the maintenance event in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the maintenance deposits held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event or (ii) the qualifying costs related to the specific maintenance event.

Substantially all these maintenance deposits are calculated based on a utilization measure, such as flight hours or operating cycles. We paid U.S. $63.8 million, U.S. $52.6 million, and U.S. $16.8 million, in maintenance deposits, net of reimbursements, to our lessors for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.

Maintenance deposits that the Company expects to recover from lessors are presented as security deposits in the consolidated statement of financial position. The portion of prepaid maintenance deposits deemed unlikely to be recovered – primarily due to the difference between the deposit payments and the expected cost of the next related maintenance event they collateralize – is recognized as supplemental rent.

Under the lease terms of each agreement, we assess whether major maintenance of the leased aircraft and engines is expected to be performed. If major maintenance is not expected to be carried out at our own account, the deposit is recognized as a variable lease payment, as it represents a portion of the cost associated with the use of the leased aircraft or engine, determined based on time or flight cycles. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, we recorded supplemental lease payments of U.S.$48.2 million, U.S.$83.5 million and U.S.$114.3 million respectively.

When modifications are made to the lease agreements that entail an extension of the lease term, the maintenance deposits which had been recorded previously as variable lease payments can be converted into recoverable deposits and presented as recoverable assets, at the modification date.

Certain other aircraft lease agreements do not require the obligation to pay maintenance deposits in advance to lessors to guarantee major maintenance activities; therefore, we do not record or make payments for guarantee deposits with respect to these aircraft. However, some of these lease agreements include the obligation to make maintenance adjustment payments to lessors at the end of the lease period. These maintenance adjustments cover maintenance events that are not expected to be performed before the termination of the lease. For such agreements, we accumulate a liability related to the amount of the costs that will be incurred at the end of the lease, since no maintenance deposits have been made.

As of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, we had prepaid maintenance deposits of U.S. $441.1 million, U.S. $417.1 million, and U.S. $382.8 million, respectively, recorded in our consolidated statements of financial position. We currently expect that these prepaid maintenance deposits are likely to be recovered primarily because there is no rate differential between the maintenance deposit payments and the expected cost for the related next maintenance event that the deposits serve to collateralize.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we extended the lease period for aircraft and engines, through lease agreements for five aircraft and two engines. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we extended the lease period for aircraft and engines, through lease agreements for nine aircraft and six engines. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we extended the lease period for aircraft and engines, through lease agreements for ten aircraft and two engines.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, we added 18, 13 and 14 net new aircraft to our fleet, respectively. The lease agreements of these aircraft do not require the obligation to pay maintenance deposits to lessors in advance in order to ensure major maintenance activities, so we do not record guarantee deposits regarding these aircraft. However, some of these agreements provide the obligation to make a maintenance adjustment payment to the lessors at the end of the contract period. This adjustment covers maintenance events that are not expected to be made before the termination of the contract. We recognize this cost as supplemental rent during the lease term of the related aircraft, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Aircraft and Engine Maintenance. We account for major maintenance under the deferral method, whereby the cost of major maintenance, major overhaul and repair is capitalized (leasehold improvements to flight equipment) and amortized over the shorter of the period to the next major maintenance event or the remaining contractual lease term. The next major maintenance event is estimated based on assumptions including estimated usage maintenance intervals mandated by the FAA in the United States and the AFAC in Mexico and average removal times suggested by the manufacturer. These assumptions may change based on changes in the utilization of aircraft, changes in government regulations and changes in suggested manufacturer maintenance intervals. In addition, these assumptions can be affected by unplanned incidents that could damage an airframe, engine, or major component to a level that would require a major maintenance event prior to a scheduled maintenance event. To the extent the planned usage increases, the estimated useful life would decrease before the next maintenance event, resulting in additional amortization expense over a shorter period.

86

Table of Contents

In 2022, 2023, and 2024, we capitalized costs of major maintenance events of U.S. $138.8 million, U.S. $139.8 million, and U.S. $129.4 million, respectively and we recognized amortization expenses of U.S. $83.1 million, U.S. $114.9 million, and U.S. $150.6 million, respectively. The amortization of deferred maintenance expenses is included under the caption depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

In August 2012, we entered into a total support agreement with LHT, as amended in December 2016, that expires December 2031, which includes a total component support agreement (power-by-hour) and ensures the availability of aircraft components for our fleet when they are required. The cost of the total component support agreement is applied monthly to our results of operations. As part of this total support agreement, we received credit notes of U.S. $5.0 million in 2022 and of U.S. $1.5 million in 2017, which were deferred on our consolidated statements of financial position and are being amortized on a straight-line basis, prospectively during the term of the agreement.

During 2022, 2023, and 2024, we amortized a corresponding benefit from these credit notes of, U.S. $0.7 million, U.S. $0.5 million, and U.S. $0.5 million, respectively, which is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as a reduction of maintenance expenses.

Fair Value. The fair value of our financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position cannot be derived from active markets. They are determined using valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and expected volatility. Changes in assumptions regarding these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Gains and Losses on Sale and Leaseback. We enter into sale and leaseback agreements whereby an aircraft or engine is sold to a lessor upon delivery and the lessor agrees to lease such aircraft or engine back to us.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, we sold and transferred aircraft and engines to third parties, giving rise to a gain of U.S. $21.2 million, U.S. $8.3 million, and U.S. $32.2 million, respectively, that was recorded as other operating income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Share-based payments

Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

- Share purchase plan (equity-settled)

Certain key executives receive additional benefits through a share purchase plan denominated in Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment. The cost of the equity-settled share purchase plan is measured at grant date, considering the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted. The equity-settled compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the required service period.

- SARs plan (cash settled)

We granted SARs to key executives, which entitle them to a cash payment after a service period.

The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured, initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled, at the fair value of the SARs, considering the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the required service period.

87

Table of Contents

The cost of the SARs plan is measured initially at fair value at the grant date. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. Similar to the equity settled awards described above, the valuation of cash settled award also requires using similar inputs, as appropriate.

Management incentive plan (“MIP”)

On February 19, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized an extension to the MIP for certain key executives, this plan was named MIP II. In accordance with this plan, we granted SARs to key executives, which entitle them to a cash payment after a service period. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled at the fair value of the SARs, considering the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the required service period.

Board of Directors Incentive Plan (BoDIP)

Certain members of the Board of Directors receive additional benefits through a share-based plan, which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment and therefore accounted under IFRS 2 “Share-based payment”.

In April 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a Board of Directors Incentive Plan “BoDIP”, for the benefit of certain board members. The BoDIP grants options to acquire shares of the Company or CPOs during a five-year period, which was determined on the grant date. Under this plan, no service or performance conditions are required to the board members for exercise the option to acquire shares, and therefore, they have the right to request the delivery of those shares at the time they pay for them. In April 2023, the Company’s Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting modified the terms of the BoDIP so that starting in 2023 certain members of the Board of Directors receive additional benefits through a stock-based plan.

Additional details of these plans can be consulted in note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this document. (Exhibit 17 and 18)

Derivative and Non-Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

We mitigate certain financial risks, such as volatility in the price of jet fuel, adverse changes in interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, through a controlled risk management policy that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. The derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. The effective portion of a cash flow hedge’s unrecognized gain or loss is recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) items,” while the ineffective portion is recognized in current year earnings. The realized gain or loss of derivative financial instruments that qualify as hedging is recorded in the same statements of operations as the realized gain or loss of the hedged item. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated as or not effective as a hedge are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current year´s earnings. Outstanding derivative financial instruments may require collateral to guarantee a portion of the unsettled loss prior to maturity. The amount of collateral delivered in guarantee, which is presented as part of “Guarantee deposits,” is reviewed and adjusted daily, based on the fair value of the derivative position. As of December 31, 2024, we did not have any collateral recorded as guarantee deposits associated with jet fuel hedges.

| (i) | Aircraft Fuel Price Risk. We account for derivative financial instruments at fair value and recognize them in the consolidated statements of financial position as an asset or liability. The cost of aircraft fuel consumed in 2022, 2023, and 2024, represented 46%, 38%, and 33%, of our operating expenses, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, we did not enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge our jet fuel exposure.

In September 2024, the Company entered into Asian Call Options on US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 to hedge 25,832 thousand gallons, covering a portion of the projected fuel consumption for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

Table of Contents

In October 2024, the Company executed additional Asian Call Options on US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 to hedge 14,457 thousand gallons, also corresponding to a portion of the anticipated consumption for the same periods.

Our fuel cost is referenced to US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 and US West Coast Jet Fuel, which are the references utilized to determine the cost of the fuel provided by our suppliers.

We apply IFRS 9, which comprises aspects related to classifications and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, as well as hedge accounting treatment. Paragraph 6.2.4 (a) of IFRS 9 allows us to separate the intrinsic value and time value of a derivatives contract and to designate as the hedging instrument only the change in the intrinsic value of the contract. As further required in paragraph 6.5.15 therein, because the external value (time value) of the Jet fuel derivatives contracts are related to a “transaction related hedged item,” it is required to be segregated and accounted for as a “cost of hedging” in other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and accrued as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the related hedged item affects profit and loss.

Since monthly forecasted jet fuel consumption is considered the hedged item of the “related to a transaction” type, then the time value included as accrued changes on external value in capital is considered as a “cost of hedging” under IFRS 9. The hedged item (jet fuel consumption) contracted by us represents a non-financial asset (energy commodity), which is not in our inventory. Instead, it is directly consumed by our aircraft at different airport terminals. Therefore, although a non-financial asset is involved, its initial recognition does not generate a book adjustment in our inventories. Rather, it is initially accounted for in our OCI and a reclassification adjustment is made from OCI toward the profit and loss and recognized in the same period or periods during which the hedged item is expected to be allocated to profit and loss (in accordance with IFRS 9.6.5.15, B6.5.29 (a), B6.5.34 (a) and B6.5.39). As of January 2015, we began to reclassify these amounts (previously recognized as a component of equity) to our consolidated statement of operations in the same period in which our expected jet fuel volume consumed affects our jet fuel purchase line item therein.

As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the outstanding US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Asian call options was US$431 thousand. The cost of hedging derived from the extrinsic value changes of the jet fuel hedged position given the out-of-the-money position as of December 31, 2024, recognized in other comprehensive loss was US$307 thousand.

The cost of hedging will be recycled to the fuel cost during fourth quarter 2024 and first quarter 2025, as these options expire on a monthly basis and the jet fuel is consumed. Contracted options for the fourth quarter 2024 expired and the only outstanding are the ones for the first quarter 2025.

| (ii) | Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to our operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency than dollars). Exchange exposure relates to amounts payable arising from pesos-denominated and pesos-linked expenses and payments. To mitigate this risk, we may use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, the Company did not enter into foreign currency derivative contracts.

As of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, our foreign exchange exposure also was a net liability position of U.S.$0.2 billion, U.S. $0.2 billion, and U.S. $0.4 billion, respectively, primarily denominated in Mexican Pesos.

Hedging relationships with non-derivative financial instruments.

Table of Contents

We mitigate certain financial risks, such as volatility in the price of jet fuel, adverse changes in interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, through risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

In accordance with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. At the inception of a hedge relationship, we formally designate and document the hedge relationship to which we wish to apply hedge accounting, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the hedging strategy and objective, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risks being hedged and how we will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risks.

Only if such hedges (i) are expected to be effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedge items and (ii) are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they have been effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated, can hedge accounting treatment be used.

Under the cash flow hedge (“CFH”), accounting model, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s changes in fair value is recognized in OCI, while the ineffective portion is recognized in current year earnings in the statement of profit or loss. The cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item. The amounts recognized in OCI are transferred to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The realized gain or loss of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments that qualify as CFH are recorded in the same caption as the hedged item in the consolidated statement of operations.

See Item 3: “Key Information—Risk Factors—Currency fluctuations or the devaluation and depreciation of the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.”

| (iii) | Interest Rate Risk. The interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations and lease obligations with floating interest rates. As of December 31, 2022, we had an outstanding hedging contract in the form of an interest rate caps with a notional amount of Ps.2.25 billion (U.S. $116.2 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.19.36 to U.S. $1 on December 31, 2022) and a fair value of U.S. $1.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had an outstanding hedging contract in the form of an interest rate caps with a notional amount of Ps.3.16 billion (U.S. $187.4 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.16.89 to U.S. $1 on December 31, 2023) and a fair value of U.S. $1.7 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had an outstanding hedging contract in the form of an interest rate cap with a notional amount of Ps.2.42 billion (U.S. $119.2 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to U.S. $1 on December 31, 2024) and a fair value of U.S. $0.3 million. These instruments are included as assets in our consolidated statements of financial position.

Deferred Taxes.

Deferred taxes are recorded based on differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities and available tax loss and credit carry-forwards. In assessing our ability to realize deferred tax assets, our management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In evaluating our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. As of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, we had tax loss carry-forwards amounting to U.S. $127.9 million, U.S. $131.2 million, and U.S. $0.8 million, respectively. These losses relate to our and our subsidiaries’ operations on a stand-alone basis, which in conformity with current Mexican Income Tax Law may be carried forward against taxable income generated in the succeeding years in each country and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in our consolidated group. During the year ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, we used tax-loss carry-forwards of U.S. $4.0 million, U.S. $15.5 million, and U.S. $107.9 million, respectively.

Central America (Guatemala, Costa Rica and El Salvador)

According to Guatemala corporate income tax law, under the regime on profits from business activities net operating losses cannot offset taxable income in prior or future years. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, we generated tax (loss) profit of U.S. $(10) thousand, U.S. $623 thousand, and U.S. $966 thousand, respectively.

According to Costa Rica corporate income tax law, the tax is based on the net income earned from traffic whose origin or final destination is Costa Rica and net operating losses can offset taxable income in a term of three years. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 we generated a net operating gain (loss) of U.S. $3.9 million, U.S. $(9.5) million and U.S. $0.6 million, respectively. Regarding operating loss no deferred tax asset has been recognized.

According to El Salvador corporate income tax law, under the regime on profits from business activities, net operating losses cannot offset taxable income in prior or future years. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, we generated a net operating gain for an amount of U.S. $17.1 million, U.S. $3.2 million and U.S. $35.8 million, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The carrying value of flight equipment, furniture, and equipment and right of use assets is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

We have identified one Cash Generating Unit (CGU), which includes the long-lived assets and the entire fleet, including right-of-use assets and flight equipment. We assess at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that long-lived assets and the entire fleet, including right-of-use assets and flight equipment are impaired in the CGU. We record impairment charges in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired or when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or related cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of (i) its fair value less cost to sell and (ii) its value in use.

The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, using our projections of operating results for the near future, typically extending no more than five years. The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is sensitive to the uncertainties inherent in the preparation of projections and the discount rate used in the calculation.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we performed an impairment test on our only Cash Generating Unit (CGU), comprising the long-lived assets and the entire aircraft fleet, including right-of-use assets and flight equipment. The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on projections covering a five-year period. The determination of the recoverable amount considered a post-tax discount rate of 12.75% (pre-tax of 17.98%) and a long-term growth rate of 2.14%. We concluded that the carrying amount of the CGU did not exceed its recoverable amount, based on the applied methodologies and assumptions, and therefore, no impairment charges were recorded.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we evaluated through an analysis if there were signs of impairment in its long- lived assets and right- of use assets, and according to the result, we concluded there were no signs of impairment.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses. An allowance for expected credit losses is established using the life-time expected credit loss approach, based on objective evidence that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. At December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, the allowance for credit losses were U.S. $1.7 million, U.S. $1.3 million, and U.S. $0.8 million, respectively.

Total operating expenses, net decreased 10.1% in 2024 primarily attributed to the reduction of our operations and other factors described below.

Other Operating Income. The U.S. $151.7 million, or 277.3%, increase in other operating income in 2024 was primarily driven by a higher number of sale and leaseback transactions and the compensation received from the engine manufacturer related to preventive accelerated inspections for the GTF engines.

Fuel Expense. The 23.3% decrease in fuel expense in 2024 was primarily due to an 11.6% reduction in the average economic fuel cost per gallon and a 13.3% decrease in fuel consumption compared to 2023.

Landing, Take-off and Navigation Expenses. The 2.2% decrease in landing, take-off, and navigation expenses in 2024 was primarily driven by a 14.0% reduction in total departures and a 12.0% decline in passenger volume compared to 2023.

Salaries and Benefits. The 6.3% increase in salaries and benefits in 2024 was primarily driven by the annual salary increase and the provision for employee profit sharing.

Depreciation of Right of Use Assets. The 13.2% increase in depreciation of right-of-use assets in 2024 was primarily driven by fleet expansion, including the addition of 14 new aircraft.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution Expenses. The 1.3% increase in sales, marketing, and distribution expenses in 2024 was primarily driven by higher marketing expenditures aimed at promoting our routes and increasing our revenues.

Other Operating Expenses. The 18.0% decrease in other operating expenses in 2024 was primarily driven by the reduction in administrative and operational support expenses.

Aircraft and Engine Variable Lease Expenses. The 30.2% increase in aircraft and engine variable expenses in 2024 was primarily due to return accruals recorded during the year. Additionally, in 2023, we recognized benefits from the remeasurement of aircraft related to lease extensions.

Maintenance Expenses. The 2.0% increase in maintenance expenses in 2024 was driven by routine maintenance activities, resulting from a higher average fleet size during the year.

Depreciation and Amortization. The 36.4% increase in depreciation and amortization in 2024 was primarily due to higher amortization of major maintenance events, driven by the aging of our fleet. These maintenance costs are accounted for using the deferral method. In 2023 and 2024, we recorded amortization of major maintenance leasehold improvements totaling U.S. $114.9 million and U.S. $150.6 million, respectively.

Total operating expenses, net increased 8.3% in 2023 primarily attributed to the growth of operations and other factors described below.

Other Operating Income. The U.S. $29.6 million, or 118.3%, increase in other operating income in 2023 was primarily due the compensation from the engines manufacturer recorded in the period and sale and leaseback gains.

Fuel Expense, net. The 10.3% decrease in fuel expense in 2023 was primarily attributed to an 18.0% decrease in the average economic fuel cost per gallon, partially offset by a 9.5% increase in the gallons of fuel consumed as compared 2022.

Landing, Take-off and Navigation Expenses. The 32.8% increase in landing, take-off and navigation expenses in 2023 was primarily driven by a 4.3% rise in total departures and a 7.9% increase in passengers as compared to 2022. The rise in operational indicators, particularly in the international market, resulted in increased landing, take-off, and navigation expenses.

Depreciation of Right of Use Assets. The 13.0% increase in depreciation of right-of-use assets in 2023 was primarily attributed to the expansion of our fleet, incorporating 13 new aircraft.

Salaries and Benefits. The 36.6% increase in salaries and benefits in 2023 was primarily driven by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso, and the annual rise in salaries compensation and higher variable compensation resulting from the performance-based structure for our workforce due to increased operational activity. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the total number of employees. See Item 6: “Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Employees.”

Sales, Marketing and Distribution Expenses. The 34.6% increase in sales, marketing and distribution expenses in 2023 was primarily driven by higher marketing expenses, sales commissions, and distribution expenses, aimed at bolstering our total operating revenue growth. Furthermore, increased investments were directed towards marketing and distribution efforts to enhance the promotion of our other passenger revenues and non-passenger revenues.

Maintenance Expenses. The 0.7% increase in maintenance expenses in 2023 was driven by routine maintenance activities carried out during the year attributable from higher average fleet size.

Aircraft and Engine Variable Lease Expenses. The 16.6% decrease in aircraft and engine variable expenses in 2023 was primarily due to lower redelivery costs resulting from the remeasurement of aircraft and engine lease extension agreements recorded during 2023.

Other Operating Expenses. The 65.6% increase in other operating expenses in 2023 was primarily driven by administrative and operational support expenses, accounting for 65% of this category. This increase includes higher travel and per diem expenses for our crew, as well as a rise in technology and communication expenses compared to the previous year.

Depreciation and Amortization. The 37.8% increase in depreciation and amortization in 2023 was primarily due to higher amortization of major maintenance events associated with the aging of our fleet. The cost of these major maintenance events is accounted under the deferral method. In 2022 and 2023, we recorded amortization of major maintenance lease hold improvements of U.S. $83.1 million and U.S. $114.9 million, respectively.

| B. | Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations, with our primary uses of liquidity being working capital and capital expenditures.

|  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2024
|  | (In thousands of dollars)
Net cash flows provided by operating activities |  | 613,602 |  | 729,825 |  | 1,089,729
Net cash flows used in investing activities |  | (130,694) |  | (462,044) |  | (472,520)
Net cash flows used in financing activities |  | (513,088) |  | (214,386) |  | (471,570)

In recent years, we have been able to meet our working capital requirements through cash from our operations. Our capital expenditure consists primarily of the acquisition of flight equipment, including pre-delivery payments for aircraft acquisitions. From time to time, we finance pre-delivery payments related to our aircraft with revolving lines of credit with the commercial banks. We have obtained financing for pre-delivery payments in respect to all the aircraft to be delivered through 2025.

Our cash and cash equivalents increased by U.S. $133.8 million, from U.S. $774.2 million on December 31, 2023, to U.S. $908.0 million on December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, our credit lines total U.S. $1,873.4 million, of which U.S. $1,315.4 million were related to financial debt (U.S. $308.6 million were undrawn) and U.S. $558.0 million were related to letters of credit (U.S. $229.3 million were undrawn). As of December 31, 2024, we had available lines of credit of U.S. $537.9 million. As of December 31, 2023, our credit lines total U.S. $1,388.8 million, of which U.S. $960.9 million were related to financial debt (U.S. $228.4 million were undrawn) and U.S. $427.9 million were related to letters of credit (U.S. $178.8 million were undrawn). As of December 31, 2023, we had available lines of credit of U.S. $407.2 million. As of December 31, 2022, our credit lines total U.S. $859.1 million, of which U.S. $701.2 million were related to financial debt (U.S. $390.3 million were undrawn) and U.S. $157.9 million were related to letters of credit (U.S. $16.1 million were undrawn).

We have an investment policy to optimize the performance and ensure availability of, and minimize the risk associated with, the investment of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Such policy provides guidelines regarding minimum balance, currency mix, instruments, deadlines, counterparties, and credit risk. As of December 31, 2024, 90% of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were denominated in U.S. dollars while 7% were denominated in pesos, and 3% were denominated in other currency. See Note 3 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities. We primarily rely on cash flows from operating activities to provide working capital for current and future operations. Net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to U.S. $1,089.7 million in 2024 and U.S. $729.8 million in 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to higher net income and improved cash flows related to other accounts recoverable, prepaid expenses, guarantee deposits and liabilities.

Net cash flows used in investing activities. During 2024, our net cash flows used in investing activities totaled U.S. $472.5 million. This primarily reflected acquisitions of rotable spare parts, furniture, and equipment amounting to U.S. $583.1 million, which included investments of U.S. $129.0 million in major maintenance events, U.S. $218.8 million in rotable spare parts, and U.S. $235.3 million in aircraft pre-delivery payments. Additionally, we invested U.S. $17.6 million in intangible assets and U.S. $31.8 million in other investments.

Additionally, we acquired intangible assets of U.S. $6.8 million. These acquisitions were partially offset by pre-delivery payments reimbursements of U.S. $221.3 million and other proceeds of U.S. $1.9 million.

Net cash flows used in financing activities. During 2024, net cash flows used in financing activities totaled U.S. $471.6 million. This primarily included: (i) lease liability payments of U.S. $583.4 million for aircraft and spare engine rentals, (ii) financial debt payments of U.S. $208.1 million, (iii) interest payments of U.S. $58.4 million, (iv) treasury share purchases of U.S. $5.1 million, (v) financing expenses of U.S. $1.7 million, and (vi) payments related to other financial instruments of U.S. $0.1 million. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds from financial debt totaling U.S. $385.2 million.

Long-term Incentive Plan

During 2010, we adopted an employee long-term incentive plan, the purpose of which is to retain high performing employees within the organization by paying incentives depending on our performance. During the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, we expensed Ps.6.3 million (U.S. $482 thousand as of December 31, 2013, based on an exchange rate of Ps.13.07 to U.S. $1) and Ps.6.5 million (U.S. $500 thousand as of December 31, 2012, based on an exchange rate of Ps.13.01 to U.S. $1), respectively, as bonuses as part of the caption salaries and benefits. During 2014, this plan was structured as a long-term incentive plan, which consists of a long-term incentive plan (equity-settled) and share appreciation rights plan (cash-settled), each as further described below.

112

Table of Contents

Share Purchase Plan (Equity-Settled)

Under the share purchase plan (equity-settled), in November 2014, Servicios Corporativos granted a special bonus to certain of our key employees in an amount of Ps.10.8 million (U.S. $797 thousand as of November 11, 2014, based on an exchange rate of Ps.13.58 to U.S. $1), to be used to purchase our Series A shares.

The bonus amount of Ps.7.1 million (U.S. $520 thousand as of November 11, 2014 based on an exchange rate of Ps.13.58 to U.S. $1), net of withheld taxes, was transferred on November 11, 2014, as per the written instructions of each key employee, to the Administrative Trust for the acquisition of our Series A shares through an intermediary authorized by the Mexican Stock Exchange based on the Administration Trust’s Technical Committee instructions.

Subject to specified terms and conditions set forth in the Administrative Trust, the acquired shares are held in escrow under the Administrative Trust for its administration until the vesting period date for each key employee, when such key employee can fully dispose of the shares as desired.

The share purchase plan provides that if the terms and conditions are not met by the vesting period date, then the shares will be sold in the Mexican Stock Exchange, and Servicios Corporativos would be entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale of such shares.

Each key employee’s account balance is tracked by the Administrative Trust. The Administrative Trust objectives are to acquire Series A shares on behalf of the key employees and to manage the shares granted to such key executive based on instructions set forth by the Technical Committee.

As the Administrative Trust is controlled and therefore consolidated by Controladora, shares purchased in the market and held within the Administrative Trust are presented for accounting purposes as treasury stock in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

In November 2022, 2023 and 2024 allocations to this plan were approved by our board of directors. The total cost of the allocations approved were U.S. $5.7 million (U.S. $3.7 million net of withheld taxes), U.S. $ 5.7 million (U.S. $3.7 million net of withheld taxes), and U.S. $5.8 million (U.S. $3.8 million net of withheld taxes). Under the terms of the incentive plan, certain of our key employees were granted a special bonus that was transferred to the administrative trust for the acquisition of our Series A shares.

During 2022, 2023 and 2024 we recognized U.S. $5.1 million, U.S. $6.0 million and U.S. $6.3 million, respectively, as compensation expense associated with the long-term incentive plan in our consolidated statements of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, some key employees left the Company; therefore, these employees did not fulfill the vesting conditions. In accordance with the plan, Servicios Corporativos, the Company and Volaris Opco are entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale of such shares. As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, 103,712 shares, 330,453 shares, 0 shares, respectively, were forfeited. As of December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024, 6,579,214 shares, 9,163,300 shares, and 10,492,330 shares, respectively, were held in trust under this plan as all shares granted remained unvested. Such shares were considered as treasury shares and considered outstanding for diluted earnings per share purposes because the holders are entitled to dividends if and when distributed.

Registration Rights

We have granted the registration rights described below to our principal shareholders, to register shares of capital stock (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) owned by each of them after our initial public offering with SEC under the Securities Act, pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement filed as Exhibit 4.7 to our registration statement on Form F-1 field with the SEC on September 16, 2013 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). No registration rights were granted to our principal shareholders in respect of the registration of our shares with the RNV maintained by the CNBV, because all of our Series A shares were registered thereat concurrently with our initial public offering, and such registration will be updated, from time to time, as required under applicable Mexican law.

The following description of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy filed as Exhibit 4.7 to our registration statement on Form F-1 field with the SEC on September 16, 2013.

Demand and Short-Form Registration Rights

Since the completion of our initial public offering, our principal shareholders are entitled to certain demand and short-form registration rights. The holders of at least a majority of the shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) subject to the registration rights can, on not more than two occasions, request that we register all or a portion of their shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) under the Securities Act.

In addition, since our initial public offering, these holders became entitled to certain short-form registration rights. The holders of shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) with a proposed aggregate offering price of at least U.S. $20 million at the time of the request may make a written request that we register their shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) on a short form registration, if we are eligible to file a registration statement on Form F-3. These holders may make an unlimited number of requests for registration on Form F-3. However, we will not be required to effect a demand or short-form registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous demand or short-form registration.

Moreover, once every 12 months, we may postpone for up to six months the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a demand or a short-form registration, if our board of directors determines that such registration would have a material adverse effect on any of our proposals or plans to engage in any acquisitions of assets, merger, consolidation, tender offer or any other material transaction.

Piggyback Registration Rights

In the event that we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, our principal shareholders will be entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing the holder to include their shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) in such registration, subject to certain marketing and other limitations. As a result, whenever we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act (pursuant to a demand or short-form registration, or pursuant to a registration on Form F-4 or F-8 or any successor or similar forms), our current principal shareholders holding these shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to limitations that the underwriters may impose on the number of shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) included in the registration, to include their shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) in the registration.

Expenses of Registration, Restriction and Indemnification

We will pay all registration expenses, including the legal fees of one counsel for all holders under the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, we will reimburse such holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of each additional counsel retained for the purpose of rendering any legal opinion if and to the extent required by underwriters or us.

The demand, short-form and piggyback registration rights are subject to customary restrictions such as blackout periods and any limitations on the number of shares (and/or CPOs having such shares as underlying securities) to be included in the underwritten offering imposed by any lead underwriter. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains indemnification provisions that we believe are customary for similar transactions.

ITEM 8 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

| A. | Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

Our annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS on pages F-1 through F-87 are filed as part of this annual report.

122

Table of Contents

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business that we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. We believe that the outcome of the proceedings to which we are currently a party will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Certain legal proceedings may require us to incur financial obligations. Based on the plaintiffs’ claims, as of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, these proceedings may amount to a total of U.S. $7.8 million, U.S. $29.4 million, and U.S. $37.1 (U.S. $2.1 million related to legal matters, U.S. $5.0 million related to labor matters and U.S. $30.0 million related to other tax matters), respectively.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any additional future earnings to finance our operations and growth. Any future determination to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our shareholders on the recommendation of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and contractual, regulatory and other restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors our shareholders deem relevant. In addition, we may not pay any dividend unless such dividend is paid from our net profit account and the financial statements including such net profit and the payment of the relevant dividend have been approved by a shareholder resolution. Furthermore, our revolving line of credit with Santander and Bancomext may limit our ability to declare and pay dividends in the event that we fail to comply with the payment terms thereunder. See Item 5: “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Loan Agreements”.

Mexican law requires that at least 5% of a company’s net income each year (after profit sharing and other deductions required by Mexican law) be allocated to a legal reserve fund until such fund reaches an amount equal to at least 20% of its capital stock from time to time (without adjustment for inflation). For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 we did not allocate any amount to our legal reserve fund. As of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, the legal reserve was U.S. $17,363 or 8.5%, respectively, of our capital stock.

Mexican companies may pay dividends only out of earnings (including retained earnings after all losses have been absorbed or paid up), after allocation to the legal reserve fund and only if shareholders have approved the yearly financials from which such earnings are derived and the payment of the dividend. The reserve fund is required to be funded on a stand-alone basis for each company, rather than on a consolidated basis. The level of earnings available for the payment of dividends is determined under IFRS. Our subsidiaries are required to allocate earnings to their respective legal reserve funds prior to paying dividends to us.

Dividends that are paid from a company’s distributable earnings that have not been subject to corporate income tax are subject to a corporate-level tax payable by us. Companies are entitled to apply any such tax on the distribution of earnings as a credit against their Mexican corporate income tax corresponding to the fiscal year in which the dividend was paid or against the Mexican corporate income tax of the two fiscal years following the date in which the dividend was paid. Dividends paid from a company’s distributable earnings that have been subject to corporate income tax are not subject to this corporate-level dividend income tax. Dividends paid to resident and non-resident holders with respect to the CPOs and ADSs are subject to a 10% Mexican tax withholding.

In the event we were to declare dividends, they would be in pesos. In the case of CPOs represented by ADSs, the cash dividends would be paid to the depositary and, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, converted into and paid in U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange, net of conversion expenses of the depositary and applicable Mexican withholding tax. Fluctuations in exchange rates would affect the amount of dividends that ADS holders would receive. For a more detailed discussion, see Item 12: “Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities—American Depositary Shares”.

The Mexican Stock Market

The information concerning the Mexican securities market set forth below has been prepared based on materials obtained from public sources, including the CNBV, the Mexican Stock Exchange and information made public by market participants. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the material aspects related to the Mexican securities market.

Trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange

The Mexican Stock Exchange, located in Mexico City, is the only stock exchange currently operating in Mexico. Operating continuously since 1907, the Mexican Stock Exchange is organized as a variable capital public stock corporation. Securities trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange occurs each business day from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Mexico City time subject to adjustments to operate uniformly with certain markets in the United States.

Since January 1999, all trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange has been effected electronically. The Mexican Stock Exchange may impose a number of measures to promote an orderly and transparent trading price of securities, including the operation of a system of automatic suspension of trading in shares of a particular issuer, when price fluctuations exceed certain limits.

Settlement of transactions with equity securities on the Mexican Stock Exchange are effected three business days after a share transaction is agreed to. Deferred settlement is not permitted without the approval of the Mexican Stock Exchange, even where mutually agreed. Securities traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange are on deposit in book-entry form through the facilities of Indeval, a privately owned securities depositary that acts as a clearinghouse, depositary, and custodian, as well as a settlement, transfer, and registration agent for Mexican Stock Exchange transactions, eliminating the need for physical transfer of securities. Transactions must be settled in pesos except under limited circumstances and in respect of limited transactions in which settlement in foreign currencies may be permitted.

Market Regulation

In 1925, the Mexican National Banking Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria) was established to regulate banking activity and in 1946, the Mexican Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores) was established to regulate stock market activity. In 1995, these two entities merged to form the CNBV.

Among other things, the CNBV regulates the public offering and trading of securities, public companies and their regime and participants in the Mexican securities market (including brokerage houses and the Mexican Stock Exchange), and imposes sanctions for the illegal use of insider information and other violations of the LMV. The CNBV regulates the Mexican securities market, the Mexican Stock Exchange, and brokerage firms, through its staff and a board of governors comprised of 13 members.

Mexican Securities Market Law

The current Mexican Securities Market Law was enacted on December 8, 2005, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (Diario Oficial de la Federación) or Official Gazette of the Federation on December 30, 2005, and became effective on June 28, 2006. The LMV changed Mexican securities laws in various material respects to further align Mexican laws with the securities and corporate governance standards laws in effect in other jurisdictions that maintained more developed securities markets.

In particular, the LMV:

| · | establishes the sociedad anónima promotora de inversión, a form of corporate organization that permits agreements among shareholders, mediating rights of first offer and refusal, tag-along rights, vetoes, non-compete provisions and other terms that enhance rights of minority shareholders;

| · | establishes the variable capital public stock corporation, a corporate form of organization that is subject to the general requirements of the Mexican Corporations Law, but is subject to specific requirements for issuers with stock registered with the CNBV and listed in the Mexican Stock Exchange;

| · | includes private placement exemptions directed to Mexican institutional and qualified investors, and specifies the requirements that need to be satisfied for an issuer or underwriter to fall within the exemption;

| · | includes improved rules for tender offers, dividing them in either voluntary or mandatory;

| · | establishes standards for disclosure of holdings applicable to shareholders of public companies;

| · | expands and strengthens the role of the board of directors of public companies;

| · | defines the role of the chief executive officer and other relevant officers of public corporations;

| · | defines the standards applicable to the board of directors and the duties and potential liabilities and penalties applicable to each director, the chief executive officer and other executive officer and of members of the technical committee and the corporate governance committee (introducing concepts as the duty of care, duty of loyalty and safe harbors for actions attributable to directors, committee members and officers);

| · | replaces the statutory auditor (comisario) with the audit committee and establishes the corporate governance committee with clearly defined responsibilities;

| · | improves the rights of minority shareholders (including rights to initiate shareholders’ derivative suits);

| · | defines applicable sanctions for violation of law;

| · | provides for flexibility to allow regulated Mexican brokerage firms to engage in certain limited activities;

| · | regulates stock exchanges, clearinghouses, futures and derivatives markets, and rating agencies;

125

Table of Contents

| · | establishes penalties (including incarceration), arising from violations of the Securities Market Law and regulations thereunder;

| · | establishes that public companies are considered a single economic unit with the entities they control;

| · | introduces concepts such as consortiums, groups of related persons or entities, control, related parties and decision-making power;

| · | defines rules relating to types of securities that may be offered by public companies;

| · | sets forth information for share repurchases; and

| · | specifies requirements for implementing anti-takeover measures.

In March 2003, the CNBV issued certain general regulations applicable to issuers and other securities market participants, which regulations have since been amended (the “General Regulations”), and in September 2004, the CNBV issued certain general regulations applicable to brokerage firms. The General Regulations, which repealed several previously enacted CNBV regulations, provide a consolidated set of rules governing public offerings, reporting requirements and issuer activity, among other things.

Registration and Listing Standards

In order to offer securities to the public in Mexico, an issuer must meet specific qualitative and quantitative requirements. Only securities that have been registered with the Mexican National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores) or the RNV, pursuant to an approval by the CNBV may be listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange. In addition, the Mexican Stock Exchange has created a parallel quotation system, named the international quotation system (“SIC”), where debt and equity securities issued by non-Mexican issuers may be listed, for trading by institutional and accredited investors. Issuers listed on the SIC have limited disclosure and reporting requirements and may comply with obligations through a sponsor and by providing disclosure made available in their home market. These securities may be listed through the SIC if (i) the securities are not already listed on the RNV, (ii) the market of origin of the company issuing the shares has received, based on its characteristics, recognition from the CNBV, and (iii) the securities satisfy the listing requirements of the applicable stock exchange.

The General Regulations require the Mexican Stock Exchange to adopt minimum requirements for issuers that seek to list their securities in Mexico. These requirements relate to operating history, financial and capital structure, and minimum public floats applicable to shares of public companies, among other things. The General Regulations also require the Mexican Stock Exchange to implement minimum requirements (including minimum public floats) for issuers to maintain their listing in Mexico. These requirements relate to the issuer’s financial condition, capital structure and public float, among others. The CNBV may waive some of these requirements in certain circumstances. In addition, some of the requirements are applicable for each series of shares of the relevant issuer.

The CNBV’s approval for registration with the RNV does not imply any kind of certification or assurance related to the investment quality of the securities, the solvency of the issuer, or the accuracy or completeness of any information delivered to the CNBV or included in any offering document.

The Mexican Stock Exchange may review compliance with the foregoing requirements and other requirements at any time, but will normally do so on an annual, semi-annual and quarterly basis. The Mexican Stock Exchange must inform the CNBV of the results of its review, and this information must, in turn, be disclosed to investors.

If an issuer fails to comply with any of these minimum requirements, the Mexican Stock Exchange will request that the issuer propose a plan to cure the violation. If the issuer fails to propose a plan, if the plan is not satisfactory to the Mexican Stock Exchange, or if an issuer does not make substantial progress with respect to the implementation of the corrective plan, trading of the relevant series of shares on the Mexican Stock Exchange may be temporarily suspended. In addition, if an issuer fails to implement the plan in full, the CNBV may cancel the registration of the shares, in which case the majority shareholder or any controlling group will be required to carry out a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the issuer in accordance with the tender offer provisions set forth in the LMV (under which all holders must be treated in the same manner).

Reporting Obligations

Issuers of listed securities are required to file unaudited quarterly financial statements and audited annual financial statements (together with an explanation thereof) and periodic reports, in particular reports dealing with material events, with the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange. Mexican issuers must file the following reports with the CNBV:

| · | a comprehensive annual report prepared in accordance with the General Regulations, by no later than April 30 of each year;

| · | quarterly reports, within 20 days following the end of each of the first three quarters and 40 days following the end of the fourth quarter;

| · | reports disclosing material information;

| · | reports and disclosure memoranda revealing corporate restructurings such as mergers, spin-offs or acquisitions or sales of assets, to be approved by shareholders’ meeting or the board of directors;

| · | reports regarding the policies and guidelines with respect to the use of the company’s (or its subsidiaries) assets by related persons;

| · | details dealing with agreements among shareholders; and,

| · | starting on 2026 an annual report relating to ESG matters with the information corresponding to the year 2025 and may include an assurance from an external auditor. The disclosure of information of year 2026 must be assured at least in a limited manner and disclosure of information of year 2027 must have reasonable assurance of an external auditor.

Pursuant to the General Regulations, the internal rules of the Mexican Stock Exchange were amended to implement an automated electronic information transfer system (Sistema Electrónico de Envío y Difusión de Información) (“SEDI”), called Sistema Electrónico de Comunicación con Emisoras de Valores (“EMISNET”), for information required to be filed with the Mexican Stock Exchange. Issuers of listed securities must prepare and disclose their financial and other information via EMISNET. Immediately upon receipt, the Mexican Stock Exchange makes this financial and other information available to the public.

The General Regulations and the rules of the Mexican Stock Exchange require issuers of listed securities to file through SEDI information that relates to any event or circumstance that could influence an issuer’s share prices and investor decisions to acquire stock. If listed securities experience unusual price volatility, the Mexican Stock Exchange must immediately request that an issuer inform the public as to the causes of the volatility or, if the issuer is unaware of the causes, that it makes a statement to the effect that it is unaware of the causes of such volatility. In addition, the Mexican Stock Exchange must immediately request that issuers disclose any information relating to material events when it deems the available public information to be insufficient, as well as instruct issuers to clarify information when necessary. The Mexican Stock Exchange may request that issuers confirm or deny any material event that has been disclosed to the public by third parties when it deems that the material event may affect or influence the price of the listed securities. The Mexican Stock Exchange must immediately inform the CNBV of any such request. In addition, the CNBV may also make any of these requests directly to issuers. An issuer may delay the disclosure of material events if:

| · | the issuer implements adequate confidentiality measures (including maintaining a log with the names of parties in possession of confidential information and the date when each such party became aware of the relevant information);

| · | the information is related to incomplete transactions;

| · | there is no misleading public information relating to the material event; and

| · | no unusual price or volume fluctuation occurs.

127

Table of Contents

Similarly, if an issuer’s securities are traded on both the Mexican Stock Exchange and a foreign securities exchange, the issuer must simultaneously file the information that it is required to file pursuant to the laws and regulations of the foreign jurisdiction with the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange.

Suspension of Trading

In addition to the authority of the Mexican Stock Exchange under its internal regulations described above, the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange may suspend trading in an issuer’s securities:

| · | if the issuer does not disclose a material event; or

| · | upon price or volume volatility or changes in the trading of the relevant securities that are not consistent with the historic performance of the securities and cannot be explained solely through information made publicly available pursuant to the General Regulations.

The Mexican Stock Exchange must immediately inform the CNBV and the general public of any suspension. An issuer may request that the CNBV or the Mexican Stock Exchange permit trading to resume if it demonstrates that the causes triggering the suspension have been resolved and that it is in full compliance with periodic reporting requirements. If an issuer’s request has been granted, the Mexican Stock Exchange will determine the appropriate mechanism to resume trading (which may include a bidding process to determine applicable prices). If trading in an issuer’s securities is suspended for more than 20 business days and the issuer is authorized to resume trading without conducting a public offering, the issuer must disclose via SEDI, before trading may resume, a description of the causes that resulted in the suspension.

Under consent regulations, the Mexican Stock Exchange may consider the measures adopted by other non-Mexican exchanges to suspend and/or resume trading of an issuer’s shares, in cases where the relevant securities are simultaneously traded on stock exchanges located outside of Mexico.

Insider Trading, Trading Restrictions and Tender Offers

The LMV contains specific regulations regarding insider trading, including the requirement that persons in possession of information deemed privileged abstain (i) from directly or indirectly, trading in the relevant issuer’s securities, or derivatives with respect to such securities, the trading price of which may be affected by such information, (ii) from making recommendations or providing advice to third parties to trade in such securities, and (iii) disclosing or communicating such privileged information to third parties (except for persons to whom such information must be disclosed as a result of their positions or employment, as governmental authorities).

Pursuant to the LMV, the following persons must notify the CNBV of any transactions undertaken by them with respect to a listed issuer’s securities, whether on a case-by-case basis or quarterly:

| · | members of a listed issuer’s board of directors;

| · | shareholders controlling 10% or more of a listed issuer’s outstanding capital stock;

| · | advisors;

| · | groups controlling 25% or more of a listed issuer’s outstanding capital stock; and

| · | other insiders.

These persons must also inform the CNBV of the effect of the transactions within five days following their completion, or, alternatively, that the transactions have not been consummated. In addition, insiders must abstain from purchasing or selling securities of the issuer within three months from the last sale or purchase, respectively.

128

Table of Contents

Also, for purposes of preparing annual reports, holders of 1% or more of the outstanding shares of a Mexican public company, must disclose their holdings and the relevant issuer.

Subject to certain exceptions, any acquisition of a public company’s shares that results in the acquirer owning 10.0% or more, but less than 30.0%, of an issuer’s outstanding capital stock, must be publicly disclosed to the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange by no later than one business day following the acquisition.

Any acquisition or disposition by an insider that results in the insider holding an additional 5% or more of a public company’s outstanding capital stock or that reduces such insider’s holdings by 5% or more, must also be publicly disclosed to the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange no later than one business day following the acquisition or disposition. Some insiders must also notify the CNBV of share purchases or sales that occur within any three-month or five-day period and that exceed certain value thresholds. The Mexican Securities Market Law requires that convertible securities, warrants and derivatives to be settled in kind be taken into account in the calculation of share ownership percentages of public companies.

The LMV requires that convertible securities, warrants, and derivatives to be settled in kind be considered in determining whether any of the foregoing percentages is reached or affected.

129

Table of Contents

Tender Offers

The LMV contains provisions relating to public tender offers and certain other share acquisitions occurring in Mexico. Under the Securities Market Law, tender offers may be voluntary or mandatory. Voluntary tender offers, or offers where there is no requirement that they be initiated or completed, are required to be made pro rata. Any intended acquisition of a public company’s shares that results in the acquirer owning 30% or more, but less than a percentage that would result in the acquirer obtaining control, of a company’s voting shares requires the acquirer to make a mandatory tender offer for the greater of (a) the percentage of the capital stock intended to be acquired, or (b) 10% of the company’s outstanding capital stock. Finally, any intended acquisition of a public company’s shares that is aimed at obtaining control requires the potential acquirer to make a mandatory tender offer for 100% of the company’s outstanding capital stock (however, under certain circumstances, the CNBV may permit an offer for less than 100%). The tender offer must be made at the same price to all shareholders and classes of shares. The board of directors, with the advice of the audit committee, must issue its opinion in respect of the fairness of the price applicable to any tender offer resulting in a change of control, which opinion must take minority shareholder rights into account and which may be accompanied by an independent fairness opinion. Directors and officers of a public company, in respect of which a tender offer has been made, must disclose whether or not each of them will tender his respective shares in the tender offer.

Under the LMV, all tender offers must be open for at least 20 business days and purchases thereunder are required to be made pro rata to all tendering shareholders. The Mexican Securities Market Law also permits the payment of certain amounts to controlling shareholders over and above the offering price if these amounts are fully disclosed, approved by the board of directors, and paid solely in connection with non-compete or similar obligations. The law also provides exceptions to the mandatory tender offer requirements and specifically sets forth remedies for non-compliance with these tender offer rules (e.g., suspension of voting rights, possible annulment of purchases, etc.) and other rights available to prior shareholders of the issuer.

Joint Trading of Common Shares and Limited or Non-Voting Shares

The LMV does not permit issuers to implement mechanisms for common shares and limited or non-voting shares to be jointly traded or offered to public investors, unless the limited or non-voting shares are convertible into common shares within a period of up to five years, or when, because of the nationality of the holder, the shares or the securities representing the shares limit the right to vote to comply with foreign investment laws. In addition, the aggregate amount of shares with limited or non-voting rights may not exceed 25% of the aggregate amount of publicly held shares. The CNBV may increase this 25% limit by an additional 25%, provided that the limited or non-voting shares exceeding 25% of the aggregate amount of publicly held shares are convertible into common shares within five years of their issuance.

Anti-Takeover Protections

The LMV provides that public companies may include anti-takeover provisions in their by-laws if such provisions (i) are approved by a majority of the shareholders, without shareholders representing 20% or more of the capital stock present at the meeting voting against such provision, (ii) do not exclude any shareholders or group of shareholders, (iii) do not restrict, in an absolute manner, a change of control, and (iv) do not contravene legal provisions related to tender offers or have the effect of disregarding the economic rights related to the shares held by the acquiring party.

Board of Directors and Committees

Under the LMV, public companies must have a board of directors comprised of no more than 21 members, of which at least 25% must be independent. Independent members must be selected based on their experience, ability and reputation at the issuer’s shareholders’ meeting; whether or not a director is independent must be determined by the issuer’s shareholders and such determination may be challenged by the CNBV. As a departure from legislative precedents, the LMV permits then-acting members of the board of directors (as opposed to shareholders) to select, under certain circumstances, on a temporary basis, new members of the board of directors.

Boards of directors of public companies are required to meet at least four times during each calendar year and have the following principal duties:

130

Table of Contents

| · | determine general strategies applicable to the issuer;

| · | approve guidelines for the use of corporate assets;

| · | approve, on an individual basis, transactions with related parties, subject to certain limited exceptions;

| · | approve unusual or non-recurrent transactions and any transactions that imply the acquisition or sale of assets with a value equal to or exceeding 5% of the issuer’s consolidated assets or that imply the provision of collateral or guarantees or the assumption of liabilities equal to or exceeding 5% of the issuer’s consolidated assets;

| · | approve the appointment or removal of the chief executive officer;

| · | approve waivers in respect of corporate opportunities;

| · | approve accounting and internal control policies;

| · | approve the chief executive officers’ annual report and corrective measures for irregularities; and

| · | approve policies for disclosure of information.

Directors have the general duty to act for the benefit of the issuer, without favoring any shareholder or groups of shareholders.

The LMV requires the creation of two committees, the audit committee and the corporate governance committee, each of which must maintain at least three members appointed by the board of directors and which members must all be independent (except for the corporate governance committee of corporations controlled by a person or group maintaining 50% or more of the outstanding capital stock, where the majority must be independent). The audit committee (together with the board of directors, which has added duties) replaces the statutory auditor (comisario) that had been previously required under the Mexican Corporations Law.

The corporate governance committee is required to provide opinions to the board of directors, request and obtain opinions from independent third-party experts, call shareholders’ meetings, provide assistance to the board in the preparation of annual reports and provide a report to the board of directors.

The audit committee’s principal role is to supervise the external auditors of the issuer, analyze the external auditor’s reports, discuss yearly financial statements and, when applicable, recommend their approval, inform the board of directors in respect of existing internal controls, require the issuer’s executive to prepare reports when deemed necessary, inform the board of directors of any irregularities that it encounters, investigate breaches of operating policies internal control and internal audit systems, supervise the activities of the issuer’s chief executive officer, call shareholders’ meetings, and provide an annual report to the board of directors.

Disclosure of Shareholders’ Agreements

Any shareholders’ agreements containing non-compete clauses, any agreements related to the sale, transfer or exercise of preemptive rights, any agreements which allow for the sale and purchase of shares (including any tag-along, drag-along and put or call rights), voting rights, and sale of shares in a public offering, must be notified to the company within five business days following their execution, to allow the company to disclose such agreements to the investors through the stock exchanges on which its securities are traded and to be made public in an annual report prepared by the company. These agreements (i) will be available for the public to review at the company’s offices, (ii) will not be enforceable against the company and a breach of such agreements will not affect the validity of the vote at a shareholders’ meeting, and (iii) will only be effective among the relevant parties once they have been disclosed to the public.

Miscellaneous

The LMV also specifies that any transaction or series of transactions that, during any fiscal year, represent 20% or more of the consolidated assets of a public company, must be considered and approved by a meeting of shareholders.

131

Table of Contents

In addition to the right granted to minority shareholders of a public company representing 5% or more of the outstanding shares to initiate a shareholder derivative suit against directors for a breach of the duty of care or the duty of loyalty, the LMV recognizes the right of shareholders representing 10% or more of the outstanding shares to appoint a director and call a shareholders’ meeting and request that vote on resolutions in respect of which they were not sufficiently informed be postponed. Holders of 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares may judicially oppose resolutions that were passed by a shareholders’ meeting and file a petition for a court order to suspend the resolution, if the claim is filed within 15 days following the adjournment of the meeting at which the action was taken, provided that (i) the challenged resolution violates Mexican law or the company’s by-laws, (ii) the opposing stockholders either did not attend the meeting or voted against the challenged resolution, and (iii) the opposing stockholders deliver a bond to the court to secure payment of any damages that the company may suffer as a result of suspending the resolution in the event that the court ultimately rules against the opposing stockholder; these provisions have seldom been invoked in Mexico and, as a result, any action that may be taken by a competent court is uncertain.

The New York Stock Market

NYSE traces its origins to 1792, when 24 New York City stockbrokers and merchants signed the Buttonwood Agreement. This agreement set in motion the NYSE’s unwavering commitment to investors and issuers. NYSE Euronext, the holding company created by the combination of NYSE Group, Inc. and Euronext N.V., was launched on April 4, 2007. NYSE Euronext (NYSE/New York and Euronext/Paris: NYX) operates the world’s largest and most liquid exchange group and offers the most diverse array of financial products and services. NYSE Euronext, which brings together six cash equities exchanges in five countries and six derivatives exchanges, is a world leader for listings, trading in cash equities, equity and interest rate derivatives, bonds and the distribution of market data. NYSE Euronext is a leading provider of securities listing, trading and market data products and services. To protect investors, the health of the financial system and the integrity of the capital-formation process, the SEC has designated the NYSE as the examining authority for its members and member firms. Listed companies, individual investors, institutional investors and member firms create the NYSE market. A member organization is a registered broker-dealer organized as a corporation, a partnership or an LLC, which is regulated by the Exchange. A member organization may, or may not, hold a trading license.

At the NYSE, two types of members work on the Trading Floor, each playing a distinct role in the trade execution process: Floor Brokers and Specialists. NYSE is open from Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST each business day of the year.

On June 19, 2008, the NYSE Regulation, Inc. announced that “eGovDirect.com” was being offered to non-U.S. foreign private issuers listed on NYSE, including companies that trade American Depositary Shares on the NYSE through their Depositary Bank. This password-protected website assists NYSE-listed companies to meet their corporate governance and compliance requirements and allows issuers to save time and resources by filing annual and interim financial reports, disclosing officer and audit committee member information, and publishing declarations of dividends, shareholder meeting dates, shares outstanding and press releases through this website.

On January 29, 2009, NYSE Euronext and BIDS Holdings, L.P., launched a joint venture, the New York Block Exchange (“NYBX”), an innovative new platform designed to maximize access to liquidity and improve execution quality in the U.S. equity block trading market. Institutional investors and other market participants can execute block trades on NYBX, the first venue of its kind to allow non-displayed liquidity to anonymously access both the displayed and reserve liquidity of the NYSE order book, creating an innovative platform to re-aggregate blocks of stock. BIDS Holdings and the NYSE Euronext each have a 50% ownership stake in NYBX.

On November 12, 2009, NYSE Euronext established its commission on corporate governance to address U.S. corporate governance and the overall proxy process. Consistent with the NYSE’s role as a leading advocate on governance issues, the commission brings together leading experts and representatives from public companies, institutional and individual investors, broker/dealers and other advisors.

On November 13, 2013, NYSE Euronext was acquired by Intercontinental Exchange Group, Inc. NYSE Euronext continues to operate under its brand name as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange Group, Inc.

ITEM 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

| A. | Share Capital

Not applicable.

| B. | Memorandum and Articles of Association

Our by-laws were filed as an Exhibit 3.1 to our registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the SEC on September 16, 2013 and our amended by-laws were filed on Form 6-K with the SEC on September 30, 2020. On April 21, 2023, our shareholders approved the April 2023 Committee Restructuring Plan to amend our by-laws. Our amended by-laws were furnished on Form 6-K with the SEC on May 16, 2023.

Corporate Object and Purpose

Article 2 of our by-laws state that our corporate purpose is, in general, to undertake any type of act, and execute any type of agreements, instruments and documents, including those of commercial and civil nature, permitted by the applicable law, in Mexico or in any other jurisdiction.

Overview

Our capital stock is divided into two series of shares, Series A shares and Series B shares. Series A shares are common shares and may only be owned directly by Mexican individuals or entities controlled by Mexican individuals. Series B Shares are common shares and may be purchased by Mexican or non-Mexican individuals or entities.

On November 22, 2023, the holders of all our outstanding Series B shares converted their Series B shares into Series A Shares represented by Ordinary Participation Certificates (Certificados de Participación Ordinarios) in the form of the corresponding American Depositary Shares. Therefore, we no longer have Series B shares.

Since we are a variable capital public stock corporation, our capital stock must have a fixed portion, currently represented by Series A shares and may have a variable portion currently represented both by Series A shares. Our by-laws set forth that Series B shares may not represent more than 49% of our outstanding capital stock that is not underlying CPOs at any time. As of the date of this annual report our outstanding capital stock consisted of 1,165,976,677.

Series A shares. All or a portion of our Series A shares may underlie CPOs and can be purchased by non-Mexican investors.

Upon the consummation of our initial public offering in September 2013, our non-Mexican shareholders at that time became the holders of all the outstanding Series B shares and a certain number of CPOs and our current Mexican shareholders at that time became holders of Series A shares directly.

133

Table of Contents

Non-Mexican investors are only entitled to hold Series A shares through CPOs (including CPOs in the form of ADSs), which will give non-Mexican investors economic rights but not voting rights.

We have obtained authorization from the Mexican Ministry of Economy (Secretaría de Economía) to issue up to 90% of our outstanding shares representing capital stock in the form of CPOs.

Changes to Capital Stock

The fixed portion of our capital stock may be increased or decreased by a resolution adopted at a general extraordinary shareholders’ meeting and upon amendment of our by-laws. The variable portion of our capital stock may be increased or decreased by a resolution adopted at a general ordinary shareholders’ meeting without amending our by-laws. Increases or decreases in the fixed or variable portion of the capital stock must be recorded in our registry of capital variations. New shares cannot be issued unless the then-issued shares have been paid in full.

Registration and Transfer

Our shares are evidenced by share certificates in registered form. Our shareholders may hold their Series A shares in the form of physical certificates if they are Mexican, or through Series A shares (in the case of Mexican investors) or CPOs (in the case of non-Mexican investors) that are maintained in book-entry form with institutions which have accounts with the Mexican depositary institution, S.D. Indeval Institución para el Depósito de Valores, S.A. de C.V. (“Indeval”). The CPO trustee is the holder of record of the Series A shares underlying our CPOs. Accounts may be maintained at Indeval by brokers, banks and other financial institutions and entities authorized for this purpose. We maintain a stock registry and only those persons listed in such stock registry and holding certificates issued in their name as registered holders, or persons holding Series A shares or CPOs through institutions that maintain accounts with Indeval, will be recognized as our shareholders.

Pursuant to Mexican law, any transfer of shares must be registered in our stock registry, if effected physically, or through book entries that may be traced back from our stock registry to the records of Indeval, if effected through book-entry CPOs or Series A shares.

Change of Control Provisions

Subject to certain exceptions (including those applicable to transfers or acquisitions or certain other transactions by or among our current shareholders), our by-laws require that any acquisition of our Series A shares (whether directly or by acquiring ADSs or CPOs), resulting in beneficial ownership of shares representing 5% or more of our outstanding capital stock, or any proposal by any person or group of persons to enter into an agreement among shareholders that would result in such person or group of persons effectively having control of the voting rights of 20% or more of our outstanding capital stock or will result in a change of control, will require the prior approval of our board of directors.

In the event that approval is not granted, our board of directors or our shareholders may decide, among other things, to require any such person or group of persons to reverse the transaction or to transfer the Series A shares (whether held directly or through ADSs or CPOs) to a third party interested in acquiring the securities at a reference price specified by our board of directors. In addition, such person or group of persons desiring to purchase 5% or more of our outstanding capital stock will be required to follow certain procedures, including observing certain time periods specified in our by-laws.

Any potential purchaser who proposes to acquire our Series A shares (whether directly or by acquiring ADSs or CPOs), resulting in beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our outstanding capital stock, will be required to make a tender offer for 100% of our outstanding capital stock (including any Series A shares evidenced by CPOs or ADSs) at a price at least equal to the highest of (i) the most recent publicly reported book value per share, (ii) the highest trading price of our Series A shares on the Mexican Stock Exchange within the 365 days prior to the request for approval or approval of the board of directors of the relevant transaction, and (iii) the highest price per share or CPO, as the case may be, paid by the purchaser or, in the case of the ADSs the equivalent thereto, plus, in each case, a 30% premium or a different premium determined by our board of directors, considering the opinion of a reputable investment bank.

134

Table of Contents

Any acquisition of our Series A shares, CPOs or ADSs in contravention of the procedures described above will result in the purchaser not having any voting rights in respect to the purchased securities. No transfer in breach of these provisions will be registered in our stock registry.

Shareholders’ Meetings

Calls. Under Mexican law and our by-laws, shareholders’ meetings may be called by:

| · | our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors or the secretary of the board of directors;

| · | shareholders representing at least 10% of our outstanding capital stock who may request that the chairman of the board of directors or the chairman of the audit committee or the chairman of the corporate governance committee to call a shareholders’ meeting;

| · | any shareholder, provided that no annual ordinary meeting has been held for two consecutive years or the annual shareholders’ meeting did not address the matters required to be addressed in the annual shareholders’ meetings;

| · | a Mexican court of competent jurisdiction, in the event the board of directors does not comply with a valid request of the shareholders described in the two bullet points above; and

| · | the audit committee and the corporate governance committee.

Calls for shareholders’ meetings will be required to be published in the electronic system implemented by the ministry of economy at least 15 days before the scheduled date of the shareholders’ meeting in the case of first call. Calls will have to contain the matters to be addressed at the meeting. From the date on which a call is published until the date of the corresponding meeting, all relevant information will be made available to the shareholders at our executive offices. To attend a shareholders’ meeting, shareholders will have to be either registered in the stock registry, present evidence of the deposit of their certificates with a financial institution or deposit them with our secretary, or present certificates issued by the custodian of the holder of our Series A shares, together with an Indeval certification. Investors holding our CPOs may not vote nor cause the underlying Series A shares to be voted by the CPO trustee.

Shareholders’ Meetings. General shareholders’ meetings may be general ordinary shareholders’ meetings or general extraordinary shareholders’ meetings.

General ordinary shareholders’ meetings will be those called to discuss any issues not reserved for extraordinary meetings. General ordinary shareholders’ meetings will have to be held at least once a year, during the first four months following the end of each fiscal year to:

| · | approve financial statements for the preceding fiscal year;

| · | discuss and approve the audit committee and corporate governance committees’ annual reports, and determine how to allocate net profits for the preceding year (including, if applicable, the payment of dividends);

| · | elect directors;

| · | appoint the president of the audit committee and the corporate governance committees;

| · | approve any increase or decrease in the variable portion of our capital stock and the issuance of the corresponding shares;

| · | approve the chief executive officer’s annual report together with the board of directors’ report and the board of directors’ opinion;

| · | determine the maximum amount of resources allocated to share repurchases; and

135

Table of Contents

| · | approve any transaction representing 20% or more of our consolidated assets during any fiscal year.

General extraordinary shareholders’ meetings will be those called to consider:

| · | an extension of our duration or voluntary dissolution;

| · | an increase or decrease in the fixed portion of our capital stock and the issuance of the outstanding stock;

| · | issuance of shares for purposes of a public offering;

| · | any change in our corporate purpose or nationality;

| · | any merger or transformation into another type of company;

| · | any issuance of preferred stock;

| · | the redemption of shares with retained earnings;

| · | any amendments to our by-laws including amendments to provisions addressing change of control;

| · | any other matters provided for by law or our by-laws; and

| · | the cancellation of the registration of shares at the Mexican National Securities Registry.

A special shareholders’ meeting, comprising a single class of shares, may be called if an action is proposed to be taken that may only affect such class. The quorum for a special meeting of shareholders and the vote required to pass a resolution at a special Series B shareholders’ meeting are identical to those required for extraordinary meetings of shareholders, except that the calculations are based upon the number of outstanding Series B shares.

Except as described below, the attendance quorum for general ordinary shareholders’ meetings will be 51% of the outstanding capital stock, and resolutions may be taken by a majority of the capital stock represented therein. If the attendance quorum is not met upon the first call, a subsequent meeting may be called, the attendance quorum of which will also be 51% of the outstanding capital stock and resolutions may be taken by a majority of the capital stock represented at such meeting. Except as described below, the attendance quorum for general extraordinary shareholders’ meetings will be at least 75% of our outstanding capital stock. If an attendance quorum is not met upon the first call, a subsequent meeting may be called, at which at least 51% of the capital stock must be represented. In either case, resolutions must be taken by the vote of shares representing at least 50% plus one of the shares representing our outstanding capital stock, except for resolutions in respect to the cancellation of the registration of shares at the Mexican National Securities Registry which require that at least 95% of the outstanding capital stock vote in favor of such resolution.

Holders of our shares will not have cumulative voting rights.

Voting Rights

Holders of ADSs and CPOs will not be entitled to vote, at any time, the underlying Series A shares. Mexican holders of Series A shares will be entitled to vote their shares on all matters. Holders of Series B shares were entitled to vote their shares on all matters.

Series A shares underlying the CPOs and CPOs underlying the ADSs will be voted by the CPO trustee in the same manner as the majority of Series A shares votes cast at the relevant shareholders’ meeting under all circumstances.

Provisions of our By-laws and Mexican Law Relating to Directors

Election of Directors

Our board of directors is currently comprised of 13 principal members and three alternate members. Nine members of our board of directors currently qualify as independent. Whether a director qualifies as independent must be determined by our shareholders (at the general shareholders’ meeting at which the director is elected), and such determination may be challenged by the CNBV within 30 days following the date in which the appointment of the director is notified to the CNBV. The CNBV may only challenge the appointment after a hearing with us and the affected director. Our officers, individuals who have a material influence on us or authority to direct our management or business decisions, and individuals who are part of our group of controlling shareholders may not be deemed independent directors.

Under our by-laws and the Securities Market Law, any shareholder or group of shareholders representing 10% of our outstanding capital stock, have the right to appoint one director for each such 10% ownership stake.

Authority of the Board of Directors

Our management is entrusted to a chief executive officer and a board of directors. The board of directors sets forth the guidelines and general strategy for the conduct of our business and supervises the execution thereof.

Pursuant to the LMV and our by-laws, the board of directors must approve, among other matters:

| · | our general strategy;

| · | the monitoring of our management and that of our subsidiaries;

| · | with the prior opinion of the audit committee: (i) related party transactions, subject to certain limited exceptions, (ii) our internal control and internal audit guidelines, including those of our subsidiaries, (iii) our accounting policies, (iv) our financial statements and those of our subsidiaries, (v) transactions considered unusual or non-recurring as well as any transactions that are executed, either simultaneously or successively, during the course of a fiscal year involving: (a) the acquisition or disposal of assets with a value equal to or greater than 5% of our consolidated assets or (b) the granting of guarantees or the assumption of liabilities for a total amount equal to or greater than 5% of our consolidated assets, and (vi) the selection of external auditors;

| · | with prior opinion from the corporate governance committee: (i) the appointment, election and, as the case may be, removal of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, his integral compensation, and the policies for appointing and compensating other officers immediately below the Executive Officer; (ii) the appointment of provisional directors in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the LMV; and (iii) the terms and conditions of a judicial agreement to conclude any liability actions started against a director for breach of the duties of loyalty and care;

| · | creation of special committees and granting authority to such committees, provided that the committees will not have the authority to take action which by law or under our by-laws is expressly reserved to our shareholders or our board of directors;

| · | determining how to vote the shares that we hold in our subsidiaries; and

| · | policies for disclosure of information.

Table of Contents

Our by-laws provide that meetings of our board of directors are validly convened and held if a majority of the members or their respective alternates are present. Resolutions passed at these meetings will be valid if approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors (i.e., members that do not have a conflict of interest). The chairman of the board of directors will not have a tie-breaking vote.

Meetings of our board of directors may be called by (i) 25.0% of our board members, (ii) the president of the board of directors, and (iii) the president of the audit or the corporate governance committee.

Duty of Care and Duty of Loyalty

The LMV imposes duties of care and loyalty on directors.

The duty of care generally requires that our directors obtain sufficient information and be sufficiently prepared to act in our best interest. The duty of care is discharged, principally, by (i) requesting and obtaining from us all information that may be necessary to make decisions, (ii) obtaining information from third parties, (iii) requiring the attendance of, and information from, our officers that may be necessary to make decisions, and (iv) attending board meetings and disclosing to the board of directors material information in possession of the relevant director. Failure to act with care by a director subjects the relevant director to joint and several liability with other directors involved in the act, for damages and losses caused to us and our subsidiaries. An indemnity for claims related to a breach of a director’s duty of care has been incorporated into our by-laws. Furthermore, we carry insurance to protect our directors for breaches of their duty of care.

The duty of loyalty consists, primarily, of a duty to maintain the confidentiality of information received in connection with the performance of a director’s duties, to abstain from discussing or voting on matters where the director has a conflict of interest and to abstain from taking advantage of corporate opportunities resulting from its actions as a director. In addition, the duty of loyalty is breached if a shareholder or group of shareholders is knowingly favored.

The duty of loyalty is also breached if the director uses corporate assets or approves the use of corporate assets in violation of our policies, discloses false or misleading information, orders not to or causes the failure to, register any transaction in our records that could affect our financial statements, or causes material information not to be disclosed or to be modified.

The violation of the duty of loyalty will render the breaching director jointly and severally liable with all breaching directors, for damages and losses caused to us and to the persons we control. Liability may also arise if damages and losses result from benefits obtained by the directors or third parties as a result of activities carried out by such directors.

Claims for breach of the duty of care and the duty of loyalty may be brought solely for our benefit (as a derivative suit), as opposed to for the benefit of the claimant, and may only be brought by us or by shareholders or groups of shareholders representing at least 5.0% of our outstanding shares. Claims may be exercised by the trustee issuing CPOs or by holders of CPOs, in each case holding underlying shares representing at least 5% of our outstanding Series A shares.

As a safe harbor for the benefit of directors, the LMV provides that liabilities arising from a breach of the duty of care or the duty of loyalty will not arise if the director acted in good faith and (i) complied with applicable law and our by- laws, (ii) acted based upon facts and information provided by officers, external auditors or third-party experts, the capacity and credibility of which may not be the subject of reasonable doubt, and (iii) selected the more adequate alternative in good faith, or if the negative effects of the director’s decision could not have been reasonably foreseeable, based upon the then available information.

Mexican courts have not yet interpreted the meaning of this provision and, as a result, the extent and enforceability of this safe harbor remains uncertain.

Under the LMV and our by-laws, our chief executive officer and our principal officers are also required to act for our benefit and not for the benefit of a shareholder or group of shareholders. Our officers are required to submit to the board of directors for approval, the principal strategies for our business and the business of the companies we control, to submit to the audit committee proposals relating to internal control systems, to prepare all material information related to our activities and the activities of the companies we control, to disclose all material information to the public, to maintain adequate accounting and registration systems and internal control mechanisms, to prepare and submit to the board the yearly financial statements, and to implement internal control mechanisms.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Like all public companies in Mexico, we are required to have an audit committee and corporate governance committee. The members of each of our audit committee and corporate governance committee must be independent members, elected by our board of directors except for the chairman of each committee who is elected by our shareholders. Our audit committee and corporate governance committee are required to prepare annual reports, to be submitted to our board of directors. The audit committee’s report must include (i) a report of our internal control systems and our internal audit procedures and any deficiencies, (ii) the evaluation of our external auditors, (iii) the results arising from the review of our financial statements, and (iv) any amendments to our accounting policies. The quorum for any session of our audit committee and corporate governance committee is the majority of its members and decisions must be taken by majority of its members.

In addition, our audit committee has the following principal duties:

| · | call shareholders meetings and request the inclusion of matters in the agenda;

| · | supervise and evaluate our external auditors and analyze their reports (including their opinion of our annual report);

| · | analyze and supervise the preparation of our financial statements and make recommendations to the board of directors on their approval;

| · | inform the board of directors of the status of our internal controls, our internal audit and their adequacy;

| · | supervise the execution of related party transactions and transactions representing 20% or more of our consolidated assets being undertaken pursuant to applicable law;

| · | render its opinion to the board of directors regarding transactions with related parties;

| · | request reports from our executive officers or independent experts whenever it deems appropriate;

| · | investigate and inform the board of directors of any irregularities that it may encounter;

| · | receive and analyze recommendations and observations made by the shareholders, members of the board of directors, executive officers or any third party and take the necessary actions;

| · | supervise compliance by our chief executive officer of instructions provided by our board of directors or shareholders;

| · | provide an annual report to the board in respect of accounting policies and their sufficiency, adequacy and consistency;

| · | request opinions from independent third party experts;

| · | assist our board of directors in the preparation of reports for the annual shareholders’ meeting; and

| · | hire or recommend auditors to shareholders and approve them.

Our corporate governance committee has the following principal duties:

| · | call shareholders’ meetings and request the inclusion of matters in the agenda;

| · | supervise and report on the performance of our chief executive officer and render opinions to our board of directors regarding his nomination, election, removal, compensation, and related policies;

139

Table of Contents

| · | supervise and report on the performance of our officers to our board of directors and render opinions to our board of directors regarding their nomination, election, removal, compensation, and related policies;

| · | submit proposals to the board of directors relating to the nomination or removal of officers within the first two corporate levels;

| · | propose the remuneration schemes of the first four corporate levels of the Company or those determined by it, for approval of the board of directors;

| · | assist our board of directors in the preparation of reports for the annual shareholders’ meeting;

| · | consult with third-party experts in connection with any issues related to compensation, organizational development, and other related matters;

| · | propose to the board of directors the adoption, modification or termination of any incentive plan for employees of the Company;

| · | propose to our board of directors the entering into, amendment or termination of any collective bargaining agreements;

| · | inform our board of directors of relevant labor contingencies; and

| · | provide an annual report to the board in respect of corporate governance and nomination and compensations matters; and

| · | assist our board of directors in the preparation of reports for the annual shareholders’ meeting.

Preemptive Rights

Under Mexican law, our shareholders (holding shares directly or through CPOs) have preemptive rights for all share issuances except in the cases noted below. Generally, if we issue additional shares of capital stock, our shareholders will have the right to purchase the number of shares necessary (or CPOs, subject to applicable U.S. securities laws, representing such shares and subject to the CPO trustee being permitted to issue or release the necessary additional CPOs) to maintain their existing ownership percentage. Shareholders must exercise their preemptive rights within the time period set forth by our shareholders at the meeting approving the relevant issuance of additional shares. This period must be equal to at least 15 days following the publication of notice of the issuance in the official newspaper or our corporate domicile and in the electronic system implanted by the ministry of economy. Under Mexican law, shareholders cannot waive their preemptive rights in advance, and preemptive rights may not be represented by an instrument that is negotiable separately from the corresponding share.

The preemptive rights specified in the prior paragraph will not apply (i) in the case of shares issued in connection with mergers, (ii) in the case of resale of shares held in our treasury, as a result of repurchases of shares conducted on the Mexican Stock Exchange or otherwise, (iii) in the event that holders of our shares entitled to vote approve the issuance of the unsubscribed shares for purposes of a public offering at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting called for such purpose provided requirements specified in Article 53 of the LMV are satisfied, and (iv) in respect of shares issued for conversion of any convertible securities.

If we issue new Series A shares for cash, in accordance with our by-laws and the CPO trust, non-Mexican holders of our CPOs (directly or through ADSs) may not exercise their preemptive rights, unless we cause the CPO trustee to issue additional CPOs (to the extent possible), to permit the non-Mexican holders of CPOs to exercise preemptive rights by purchasing and holding newly issued Series A shares through CPOs. Although we expect to take all measures necessary to maintain sufficient CPOs available to permit non-Mexican holders of CPOs to exercise preemptive rights in respect of underlying Series A shares, no assurances can be made that we will be able to do so, particularly because regulatory approvals in Mexico are necessary for the issuances of additional CPOs. Mexican holders of Series A shares may exercise their preemptive rights if we issue new Series A shares for cash. Non-Mexican holders of CPOs may suffer dilution if we issue new Series A shares in exchange for cash and CPOs are not available to represent the additional Series A shares.

Dividends

Our board of directors must submit our financial statements for the previous fiscal year, proposed and prepared by our chief executive officer and supplemented by a report of our board of directors, at our annual ordinary general shareholders’ meeting for approval. Once our shareholders approve our financial statements, they are required to allocate net profits for the previous fiscal year. Under Mexican law and our by-laws, prior to any distribution of dividends, 5% of our net earnings must be allocated to a legal reserve fund, until such legal reserve fund is equal to at least 20% of our paid-in capital stock. Additional amounts may be allocated to other reserve funds as the shareholders may determine, including the amount allocated to the reserve fund for the repurchase of shares. The remaining balance, if any, may be distributed as dividends. See Item 8: “Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Dividend Policy.”

Redemption

In accordance with our by-laws, shares representing our capital stock are subject to redemption in connection with either (i) a reduction of capital stock, or (ii) a redemption with retained earnings, which in either case must be approved by our shareholders. In connection with a capital reduction, the redemption of shares will be made pro rata among the shareholders but in no case will the redemption price be less than the book value of such shares as determined pursuant to our latest statements of financial position approved at a general ordinary shareholders’ meeting or by means of a tender offer conducted on the Mexican Stock Exchange at prevailing market prices, in accordance with the Mexican Corporations Law, the LMV and our by-laws.

Dissolution or Liquidation

Upon our dissolution or liquidation, our shareholders will appoint one or more liquidators at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting to wind up our affairs. All fully paid and outstanding shares of capital stock will be entitled to participate equally in any liquidating distributions.

Certain Minority Protections

Pursuant to the LMV and the Mexican Corporations Law, our by-laws include a number of minority shareholder protections. These minority protections will include provisions that permit:

| · | holders of at least 10% of our outstanding capital stock:

| · | to request a call for a shareholders’ meeting;

| · | to request that resolutions with respect to any matter on which they were not sufficiently informed be postponed; and

| · | to appoint one member of our board of directors and one alternate member of our board of directors.

| · | holders of 20% of our outstanding capital stock to oppose any resolution adopted at a shareholders’ meeting and file a petition for a court order to suspend the resolution temporarily, within 15 days following the adjournment of the meeting at which the action was taken, provided that (i) the challenged resolution violates Mexican law or our by-laws, (ii) the opposing shareholders neither attended the meeting nor voted in favor of the challenged resolution, and (iii) the opposing shareholders deliver a bond to the court to secure payment of any damages that we may suffer as a result of suspending the resolution, in the event that the court ultimately rules against the opposing shareholder; and

| · | holders of 5% of our outstanding capital stock may initiate a shareholder derivative suit against some or all of our directors, for violations of their duty of care or duty of loyalty, for our benefit, in an amount equal to the damages or losses caused to us. Actions initiated on these grounds have a five-year statute of limitations.

Other Provisions

Foreign Investment Regulations

Mexico’s Foreign Investment Law restricts ownership by non-Mexicans of our capital stock to 49% of the capital stock not otherwise represented by CPOs. Our amended by-laws establish that only Mexican investors may acquire our Series A shares directly. Currently, we do not have any Series B shares, in the event that we were to issue Series B shares, Non-Mexican investors may acquire our Series B shares directly. As required by Mexican law, our by-laws provide that if a non-Mexican investor acquires a direct interest or participation in a Series A share representing our capital stock at any time, such Series A share will be forfeited to the Mexican government. The Mexican Foreign Investment Law permits non-Mexican investors to hold our Series A shares indirectly through neutral shares or securities such as the CPOs.

Duration

Our corporate existence under our by-laws is indefinite.

Table of Contents

Purchase of Shares by Us

We will be able to purchase our shares (or CPOs evidencing such shares) through the Mexican Stock Exchange at the prevailing market prices for the shares at the time of purchase. The economic and voting rights corresponding to repurchased shares will not be exercised during the period the shares are owned by us, and the shares will not be deemed outstanding for purposes of calculation any quorum or vote at any shareholders’ meeting. We will not be required to create a special reserve for the repurchase of shares and we will not require the approval of our board of directors to effect share repurchases. However, we will require the approval of our shareholders in respect of the maximum amount that may be used for share repurchases and our board of directors must appoint an individual or group of individuals for effecting share repurchases. Share repurchases will have to be made subject to the provisions of applicable law, including the LMV, and carried out, reported and disclosed in the manner specified by the CNBV. If we intend to repurchase shares representing more than 1% of our outstanding capital stock at a single trading session, we will be required to inform the public of such intention, at least ten minutes before submitting our bid.

If we intend to repurchase shares representing 3% or more of our outstanding capital stock during any rolling period of twenty trading days, we will be required to conduct a public tender offer for such shares.

On April 21, 2023, our shareholders approved the establishment of a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), of our shares in accordance with the terms set forth in Article 56 of the LMV and the applicable articles of the Regulations Applicable to Issuers of Securities and Other Participants of the Securities Market (Disposiciones de carácter general aplicables a las emisoras de valores y a otros participantes del mercado de valores) and the development of the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Program.

In addition, our board of directors was given the authority to develop the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Program taking into consideration Article 56 of the LMV, our capital requirements and any other factors it may deem critical. However, we cannot allocate proceeds or capital to the program until it complies with the requirements established in Article 56 of the LMV and other applicable provisions, provided that, the maximum amount of proceeds or capital allocated for the acquisition of our shares would be up to an amount equivalent to 5% of the our capital stock with a cap of U.S. $100,000,000.00, provided, further, that the amount of proceeds or capital allocated for such purposes, in any case, must be approved, for each fiscal year, by the general ordinary shareholders’ meeting, and any such approval shall be in compliance with Article 56 of the LMV.

Purchases of Shares by our Subsidiaries

Our subsidiaries or other entities controlled by us may not purchase, directly or indirectly, shares representing our capital stock or shares of companies or entities that are our shareholders.

Conflicts of Interest

Under Mexican law, any shareholder that has an opposing interest to ours, must abstain from discussing and voting on the relevant matter. Any such shareholder that votes in a transaction in which its interests conflict with our interest may be liable for damages and losses, but only if the transaction would not have been approved without such shareholder’s vote.

A member of the board of directors that has an opposing interest to ours must disclose such opposing interest and abstain from any deliberation or vote in connection therewith. A breach by any member of the board of directors of any such obligations may result in the director being liable for damages and losses.

Exclusive Jurisdiction

Our by-laws provide that, in connection with any controversy between our shareholders and us, or between our shareholders, in connection with any matter related to us, both we and our shareholders must submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Mexico City, Mexico.

143

Table of Contents

Appraisal Rights

Whenever our shareholders approve a change in our corporate purpose, jurisdiction of organization or transformation from one corporate form to another, any shareholder entitled to vote that voted against the matters approved has the right to withdraw and receive the book value of its shares as set forth in the financial statements last approved by our shareholders, provided that the shareholder exercises this appraisal right within 15 days after the meeting at which the relevant matter was approved. Since holders of our CPOs may have no voting rights, appraisal rights generally will not be available to them.

Cancellation of Registration in the Mexican National Securities Registry

In accordance with our by-laws, and as set forth in the LMV, we will be required to make a public tender offer for the purchase of stock held by minority shareholders, in the event that the registration of our Series A shares with the Mexican National Securities Registry is cancelled, either as a result of our determination or by an order of the CNBV. Our controlling shareholders will be secondarily liable for these obligations. A controlling shareholder will be deemed to be a shareholder that holds a majority of our capital stock, has the ability to control the outcome of decisions made at a shareholders or board of directors meeting, or has the ability to appoint a majority of the members of our board of directors. The price at which the stock must be purchased is the higher of:

| · | the average quotation price on the Mexican Stock Exchange for the 30 days prior to the date of the tender offer, or

| · | the book value, as reflected in the report filed with the CNBV and the Mexican Stock Exchange.

If the tender for cancellation is requested by the CNBV, it must be initiated within 180 days from the date of the request. If initiated by us, under the LMV, the cancellation must be approved by 95% of our shareholders.

Our board of directors must make a determination with respect to fairness of the tender offer price, taking into consideration the minority shareholders’ interest, and disclose its opinion within 10 business days from the commencement of the offering.

The resolution of the board of directors may be accompanied by a fairness opinion issued by an expert selected by our audit committee. Directors and first-level officers are required to disclose whether or not each of them will sell their shares in connection with the tender offer.

| C. | Material Contracts

For a description of material contracts relating to our indebtedness. See Item 5: “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Loan Agreements.”

| D. | Exchange Controls

Mexico has had a free market for foreign exchange since 1991, and the Mexican federal government has allowed the peso to float freely against the U.S. dollar since December 1994. We have no control over or influence on this exchange rate policy. The Mexican federal government has announced that it does not intend to change its floating exchange rate policy, but there is no guarantee that the Mexican federal government will not change this policy. See Item 3: “Key Information—Exchange Rates.”

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our ADSs. This discussion applies only to U.S. Holders that hold our ADSs as “capital assets” (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This discussion is based on the Code, the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and judicial decisions, each as in effect as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change or differing interpretation could affect the tax consequences described below. Except as expressly described herein, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to U.S. Holders under the “Convention Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United Mexican States for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income,” or the Treaty. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to U.S. Holders with respect to their ownership and disposition of our ADSs. This summary does not address any consequences under any U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to the income tax (e.g., estate or gift taxes), any withholding required pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection therewith) or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

This discussion also does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and any alternative minimum tax. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to U.S. Holders subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

| · | banks, financial institutions or insurance companies;

| · | regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts or grantor trusts;

| · | dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

| · | tax-exempt entities or organizations, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA” as defined in Sections 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively;

| · | certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

| · | persons holding our ADSs as part of a straddle, hedging, constructive sale, conversion or other integrated transaction;

| · | persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the voting power or value of our stock;

| · | persons that are resident or ordinarily resident in or have a permanent establishment in a jurisdiction outside the United States or persons that are not U.S. Holders;

| · | persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our ADSs being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

| · | persons who acquired our ADSs pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation for the performance of services; or

| · | partnerships (including entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through entities (or persons holding our ADSs through partnerships or other pass-through entities).

145

Table of Contents

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is beneficial owner of an ADS that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

| · | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

| · | a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

| · | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

| · | a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds an ADS, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our ADSs and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

Unless otherwise indicated, this discussion assumes that we are not, and will not become, a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the discussion below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.”

The discussion below assumes that the representations contained in the CPO trust agreement and ADS deposit agreement are true and that the obligations in the CPO trust agreement, ADS deposit agreement and any related agreements have been and will be complied with in accordance with their terms. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders will be treated as the beneficial owners of the CPOs represented by our ADSs and each CPO should represent a beneficial interest in our Series A Shares represented by the CPOs. The U.S. Treasury Department has expressed concern that intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of an ADS and the issuer of the security underlying the ADS may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the beneficial ownership of the underlying security. Accordingly, the creditability of certain Mexican taxes paid, if any, and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders (as discussed below under “Distributions”), could be affected by actions taken by intermediaries in the chain of ownership between U.S. Holders and us if as a result of such actions U.S. Holders are not properly treated as beneficial owners of the CPOs and our Series A Shares represented by the CPOs.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ADSs UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER THE TREATY

Distributions

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” the gross amount of distributions made with respect to our ADSs (including the amount of any Mexican taxes withheld therefrom, if any, and excluding certain pro rata distributions of our underlying Series A Shares or other similar equity interests) will generally be includable in a U.S. Holder’s gross income (in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes) as dividend income to the extent that such distributions are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Because we do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions paid to U.S. holders generally will be reported as dividends. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should expect that all such distributions made with respect to our ADSs will be treated as dividends. Dividends on our ADSs will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed under the Code to U.S. Holders that are corporations.

146

Table of Contents

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, dividends on our ADSs may qualify as “qualified dividend income” which is eligible for reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation provided that:

| · | we are eligible for the benefits of the Treaty, or with respect to the dividend paid on our ADSs which are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States;

| · | we are not a PFIC (as discussed below) for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year;

| · | the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period requirements, and

| · | the U.S. Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property.

Currently our ADSs are listed on NYSE, which is an established securities market in the United States, and should be considered readily tradable on NYSE. However, there can be no assurance that our ADSs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States in future years. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of such reduced rate for dividends paid with respect to our ADSs.

The amount of any distribution on our ADSs paid in pesos will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of pesos on the date such distribution is includible in income by the recipient, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the distribution is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the distribution. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the distribution is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt. In general, foreign currency gain or loss will be treated as U.S.-source ordinary income or loss. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of distribution.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of our ADSs

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our ADSs, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized (in U.S. dollars) on such taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis (in U.S. dollars) in such ADSs. Any such gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such ADSs exceeds one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) are currently subject to U.S. federal income tax on long-term capital gain at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

Foreign Taxes

Certain Mexican taxes, if any, withheld or paid on dividends on, or upon the sale or other taxable disposition of, our ADSs may, subject to limitations and conditions, be treated as foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules or, at the U.S. Holder’s election, eligible for deduction in computing the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal taxable income. If a refund of any such Mexican tax is available to a U.S. Holder under the laws of Mexico imposing such tax or under the Treaty, the amount of such tax that is refundable will not be eligible for the credit or deduction against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Dividends paid on ADSs generally will constitute foreign source income and generally will be considered “passive category” income in computing the foreign tax credit allowable to U.S. Holders under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain U.S. Treasury regulations may further restrict the availability of any foreign tax credit (or deduction in lieu thereof). However, pursuant to guidance from the IRS which indicates that the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS are considering proposing amendments to such Treasury regulations, taxpayers may, subject to certain conditions defer the application of many aspects of such Treasury regulations for taxable years beginning on or after December 28, 2021 and ending before the date that a notice or other guidance withdrawing or modifying the temporary relief is issued (or any later date specified in such notice or other guidance). The rules governing the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and certain limitations and conditions may apply to a U.S. Holder’s ability to claim the foreign tax credit for any foreign taxes paid or withheld with respect to the ADSs. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances and the possibility of claiming a deduction in lieu of the foreign tax credit.

147

Table of Contents

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder if we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which such U.S. Holder holds our ADSs. We would be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year if, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of our subsidiaries (including taking into account our pro rata portion of the income and assets of each corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value)), either:

| · | 75% or more of our gross income for such taxable year is “passive income” (as defined in the relevant provisions of the Code), or

| · | 50% or more of the value of our assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such taxable year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

For this purpose, “passive income” includes, subject to certain exceptions, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, gains from commodities and securities transactions, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such passive income, net foreign currency gains and amounts derived by reason of the temporary investment of funds.

Based on the market price of our ADSs and the composition of our income, assets and operations, we do not believe we were classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2024. However, this is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year. This determination will depend on, among other things, the ownership and the composition of the income and assets, as well as the value of the assets (which may fluctuate with our market capitalization), of the Company and its subsidiaries from time to time. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or for any future taxable year.

If we were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held our ADSs, the U.S. Holder would be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distributions” that the U.S. Holder receives in respect of our ADSs and any gain realized by the U.S. Holder from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the ADSs, unless the U.S. Holder makes one of the elections described below. Under these special tax rules:

| · | the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our ADSs;

| · | the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we became a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

| · | the amount allocated to each other taxable year will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such taxable year.

In addition, dividend distributions made to the U.S. Holder will not qualify for the preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation applicable to long-term capital gains discussed above under “—Distributions” and the U.S. Holder may be required to file IRS Form 8621 with the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax return for that year. You should consult your tax advisor concerning your annual filing requirements in the event we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our ADSs.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for all succeeding taxable years during which the U.S. Holder holds the ADSs. If we cease to be a PFIC, the U.S. Holder may be able to avoid some of the adverse tax consequences of the PFIC regime by making a deemed sale election with respect to our ADSs. If such election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold our ADSs that the U.S. Holder holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described above. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder’s ADSs with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as ADSs in a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.

148

Table of Contents

If the Company is a PFIC, certain elections may be available that would result in an alternative treatment. In lieu of being subject to the tax and interest charge rules described above, a U.S. Holder may make an election to include gain on the stock of a PFIC as ordinary income under a “mark-to-market” method, provided that such stock is “marketable.” The ADSs generally would be considered marketable for purposes of this election if the ADSs are traded in more than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. NYSE, on which our ADSs are listed, is a qualified exchange for this purpose. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and consequences of a market-to-market election with respect to the ADSs.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may avoid the adverse tax and interest-charge regime described above by making an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund”. However, we do not intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable U.S. Holders to make a qualified electing fund election.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are complex. Prospective U.S. investors are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the application of the PFIC rules to their investment in the ADSs.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our ADSs and proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of our ADSs may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise properly establishes an exemption from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status may be required to provide such certification on IRS Form W-9.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and a U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Foreign Financial Asset Reporting

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals or certain specified entities that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of U.S. $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to report information relating to the ADSs by attaching a completed IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets (which requires U.S. Holders to report “specified foreign financial assets,” which generally include financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, interests in non-U.S. entities, as well as stock and other securities issued by a non-United States person), to their tax return for each year in which they hold our ADSs, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for the ADSs held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their reporting obligations with respect to their acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the ADSs.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ADSs.

Mexican Taxation

General

The following summary of certain Mexican federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADSs or CPOs or the Series A shares underlying the CPOs, is based upon the federal tax laws of Mexico as in effect on the date of this annual report, which are subject to change. Prospective purchasers of ADSs or CPOs are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to the Mexican or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADSs or CPOs and indirectly the Series A shares underlying the CPOs, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or municipal tax laws.

149

Table of Contents

This summary is based upon the Mexican federal income tax laws in effect on the date of this annual report, which are subject to change and does not describe any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state or municipality, other than the federal laws of Mexico.

Holders of ADSs or CPOs are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to their entitlement to the benefits, if any, afforded by the Treaty regarding income tax.

Mexico has also entered into and is negotiating several other tax treaties with various countries, that may have an impact on the tax treatment of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADSs, CPOs or the Series A shares underlying the CPOs. Prospective purchasers of the ADSs or CPOs are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences, if any, of any such treaties.

The following summary of the Mexican federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of ADSs or CPOs is a general summary of the principal consequences, under Mexican tax law and the Treaty, as currently in effect, of such purchase, ownership or disposition of ADSs or CPOs by non-Mexican holders (but not by holders who are or may be deemed residents of Mexico for tax purposes), that will not hold ADSs or CPOs in connection with the conduct of a trade or business through a permanent establishment for tax purposes, in Mexico.

A non-resident of Mexico is a legal entity or individual that does not satisfy the requirements to be considered a resident of Mexico for Mexican federal income tax purposes.

For purposes of Mexican taxation, individuals are residents of Mexico for tax purposes if they have established their place of residence in Mexico, unless they have a place of residence in a different country, in which case such individuals will only be considered residents of Mexico for tax purposes if they have their center of vital interests (centro de intereses vitales) in Mexico. Mexican law considers individuals to have their center of vital interests in Mexico if (i) at least 50% of their income is derived from Mexican sources or (ii) their principal center of professional activities is located in Mexico, among others. An individual will also be considered a resident of Mexico if such individual is a state employee, regardless of the location of such person’s core of vital interests. A legal entity is a resident of Mexico if it is incorporated under the laws of Mexico, or if it maintains the principal administration of its business or the effective location of its management in Mexico.

A permanent establishment in Mexico of a non-Mexican resident will be regarded as a resident of Mexico for tax purposes, and any and all income attributable to such permanent establishment will be required to pay taxes in Mexico in accordance with applicable law.

Dividends

Dividends, either in cash or in any other form (except for stock dividends), paid with respect to A shares or B shares represented by the CPOs (or in the case of holders who hold CPOs represented by ADSs), will be subject to a 5% Mexican withholding tax based on the amount of the distributed dividend, multiplied by a factor of 1.5385, which produces a net Mexican withholding tax of approximately 7.7% applicable to holders of CPOs who are non-residents of Mexico. Under the Treaty, a U.S. Shareholder who owns less than 10% of our stock and is otherwise eligible for benefits under such treaty will, in no event, be subject to more than a 10% withholding tax.

Disposition of ADSs or CPOs

The sale or the disposition of ADSs or CPOs by a non-Mexican holder will not be subject to any Mexican tax, if the transaction is carried out through the Mexican Stock Exchange or other securities markets approved by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (Secretaria de Hacienda y Crédito Público).

150

Table of Contents

The exemption referred to in the previous paragraph would not be applicable (i) if the person or group of persons that directly or indirectly hold 10% or more of our shares, in a period of 24 months, sell 10% or more of such shares, through one transaction or through more than one simultaneous or successive transactions, including transactions conducted through derivatives or in any other analogous or similar manner, and (ii) if a person or group of persons who control Volaris sell their control through one transaction or more than one simultaneous or successive transactions in a period of 24 months, including transactions conducted through derivatives or in any other analogous or similar manner. For purposes of the above, “control” and “group of persons” have the meaning ascribed to them in the LMV. Gains received by a non-resident holder arising out of the sale or other transfers of ADSs or CPOs made in any of the circumstances described in (i) and (ii) above, are deemed as income arising from Mexican source subject to Mexican income tax.

Gain on sales or other dispositions of ADSs or CPOs made in circumstances other than those described in the first paragraph of this section, generally would be subject to Mexican tax at a rate of 25% based on the aggregate proceeds received from the transaction or, subject to certain requirements applicable to the seller (including the appointment of a representative in Mexico for tax purposes to pay the applicable taxes), on any gain arising from a sale or other disposition as described in the next paragraph. If income of a non-resident holder is subject to a preferential tax regime (as defined by the Mexican Income Tax Law), the applicable rate may be up to 40% on the gross income obtained.

A non-resident holder may elect to pay taxes on the gains realized from the sale of our shares on a net basis (sales price less tax cost basis) at a rate of 30%, provided that the income of the non-resident holder is not subject to a preferential tax regime (as such terms are defined by the Mexican Income Tax Law), the non-resident holder appoints a legal representative in Mexico for purposes of the disposition of the shares and the representative files a tax notice claiming the election and a tax return coupled with a report issued by a public accountant.

Pursuant to the Treaty, gains realized by a holder of ADSs or CPOs that is eligible to claim benefits thereunder may be exempt from Mexican income tax on gains realized on a sale or other disposition of shares, if such holder owned, directly or indirectly, less than 25% of our outstanding capital stock during the 12-month period preceding such disposition provided certain requirements are met. These requirements include the obligation to (i) prove tax treaty residence, (ii) appoint a legal representative in Mexico for taxation purposes, and (iii) present tax reports prepared by authorized certified public accountants.

Value Added Tax

According to the provisions of the Mexican Value Added Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto al Valor Agregado), the disposition of the ADSs or CPOs made by non-resident holders would be exempt from the Value Added Tax.

Other Mexican Taxes

There are currently no Mexican estate, gift, inheritance, or value added taxes applicable to the purchase, ownership or disposition of ADSs or CPOs. However, gratuitous transfers of ADSs or CPOs may result in the imposition of a Mexican federal income tax upon the recipient in certain circumstances.

There are currently no Mexican stamp, registration or similar taxes payable with respect to the purchase, ownership or disposition of ADSs or CPOs.

ITEM 11 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to certain market risks, including commodity prices, specifically fuel. The adverse effects of changes in these markets could pose a potential loss as discussed below. The sensitivity analysis provided below does not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity, nor does it consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results may differ.

Fuel. Our results of operations can vary materially due to changes in the price and availability of fuel. Fuel expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, represented 46%, 38%, and 33%, respectively, of our operating expenses. Increases in fuel prices or a shortage of supply could have a material adverse effect on our operations and operating results. We source a significant portion of our fuel from refining resources located in Mexico. Gulf Coast fuel is subject to volatility and supply disruptions, particularly during hurricane season when refinery shutdowns have occurred, or when the threat of weather-related disruptions has caused Gulf Coast fuel prices to spike above other regional sources. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Aircraft jet fuel consumption recognized as operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations was US$893.9 million US$1,165.1 million and US$1,299.3 million, respectively.

Our fuel cost is referenced to US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 and US West Coast Jet Fuel, which are the references utilized to determine the cost of the fuel provided by our suppliers. Based on our 2024 annual fuel consumption, a 5% increase in the average price per gallon of those reference prices would have increased our fuel expense for 2024 by U.S. $38.1 million.

To attempt to manage fuel price risk, from time to time we use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk in cash flows attributable to changes in the fuel price.

We measure our derivative financial instruments at fair value. We measure the fair value of the derivative instruments based on quoted market prices. Outstanding derivative financial instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. However, we do not expect the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.

152

Table of Contents

Our fuel hedging practices are dependent upon many factors, including our assessment of market conditions for fuel, our access to the capital necessary to support margin requirements under derivative agreements and the pricing of hedges and other derivative products in the market.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2023, we did not enter into new hedging positions for Jet Fuel.

In September 2024, the Company contracted Asian Call Options on US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 designated to hedge 25,832 thousand gallons. These hedges represented a portion of the projected consumption for the fourth quarter 2024 and first quarter 2025.

In October 2024, the Company contracted Asian Call Options on US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 designated to hedge 14,457 thousand gallons. These hedges represented a portion of the projected consumption for the fourth quarter 2024 and first quarter 2025.

Currency fluctuations. The value of the U.S dollar has been subject to fluctuations with respect to the peso in the past and may be subject to fluctuations in the future. If the peso declines in value against the U.S. dollar our demand would be adversely affected. See Item 3: “Key Information—Risk Factors—Currency fluctuations or the devaluation and depreciation of the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.”

In 2022 and 2023, as a consequence of either the appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the peso, and our net monetary liability position in Mexican peso and other currencies, we recorded foreign exchange gains (losses) of U.S. $3.6 million and U.S. $(34.1) million, respectively. In 2024, we recorded gains of U.S. $13.7 million.

Interest Rates. We use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. As of December 31, 2022, we had an outstanding hedging contract in the form of an interest rate cap with a notional amount of Ps.2.25 billion (U.S. $116.2 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.19.36 to U.S. $1 on December 31, 2022) and a fair value of U.S. $1.6 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had an outstanding hedging contract in the form of an interest rate cap with a notional amount of Ps.3.16 billion (U.S. $187.4 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.16.89 to U.S. $1 on December 31, 2023) and a fair value of U.S. $1.7 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had an outstanding hedging contract in the form of an interest rate cap with a notional amount of Ps.2.42 billion (U.S. $119.2 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to U.S. $1 on December 31, 2024) and a fair value of U.S. $0.3 million. These instruments are included as assets in our consolidated statements of financial position.

Our financial debt, as recognized in our consolidated statements of financial position, consists of the revolving line of credit with Santander and Bancomext; lines of credit with JSA International U.S. Holding, GY Aviation Lease 1714 Co. Limited, Incline II B Shannon 18 Limited and Oriental Leasing Company Limited, asset-backed trust notes (CEBUR) issued in the Mexican Market and other financing agreements relating to engines with Tarquin Limited, Wilmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Limited, NBB- V11218 Lease Partnership, NBB- V11951 Lease Partnership, NBB Pintail Co. Ltd, Bank of Utah Corporate Trust, RRPF Engine Leasing Limited and BOC Aviation (Ireland) Limited.

| D. | American Depositary Shares

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, will register and deliver American Depositary shares, also referred to as ADSs. Each ADS will represent ten CPOs (or a right to receive ten CPOs) deposited with Indeval, as custodian for the depositary. Each ADS will also represent any other securities, cash or other property which may be held by the depositary. The depositary’s office at which the ADSs will be administered is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286.

ADSs may be held either (a) directly (i) by having an American Depositary Receipt, also referred to as an ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs, registered in the holder’s name, or (ii) by having ADSs registered in the holder’s name in the Direct Registration System, or DRS, or (b) indirectly by holding a security entitlement in ADSs through a broker or other financial institution.

The DRS is a system administered by The Depository Trust Company, also referred to as DTC, pursuant to which the depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated ADSs, which ownership is confirmed by periodic statements sent by the depositary to the registered holders of uncertificated ADSs.

We will not treat ADS holders as one of our shareholders and ADS holders will not have shareholder rights under Mexican law and our by-laws. A deposit agreement among us, the depositary and ADS holders, and the beneficial owners of ADSs sets out ADS holder rights as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit agreement and the ADSs.

Dividends and Other Distributions

The depositary has agreed to pay to ADS holders the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives in respect of the underlying CPOs or other deposited securities, after deducting its fees and expenses described below. ADS holders will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of CPOs their ADRs represent.

Cash Dividends and Distributions. The depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on the shares underlying the applicable CPOs into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if any Mexican federal government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement allows the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those ADS holders to whom it is possible to do so. It will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest. If the depositary can only convert a portion of the cash dividend into U.S. dollars, it can either distribute the unconverted portion in the foreign currency or hold the foreign currency on the account of the ADS holders. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, ADS holders may lose some or all of the value of the distributions. Before making a distribution, the depositary will deduct any withholding taxes that must be paid. See Item 10: “Additional Information—Taxation.” It will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent.

Share Dividends and Distributions. The depositary may distribute additional ADSs representing any additional CPOs issued as a result of our issuing a share dividend or distribution. The depositary will only distribute whole ADSs. It will sell CPOs or Series A Shares, which would require it to deliver a fractional ADS and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. If the depositary does not distribute additional ADSs, the outstanding ADSs will also represent the new CPOs. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed CPOs or Series A shares sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.

154

Table of Contents

Rights to Purchase Additional CPOs. If the CPO trustee offers CPO holders any rights to subscribe for additional CPOs or any other rights, the depositary may make these rights available to ADS holders. If the depositary decides it is not legal and practical to make the rights available but that it is practical to sell the rights, the depositary will use reasonable efforts to sell the rights and distribute the proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. Under current Mexican law, preemptive rights with respect to our common stock may not be sold apart from the applicable shares. The depositary will allow rights that are not distributed or sold to lapse. In that case, ADS holders will receive no value for them. If the depositary makes rights to purchase CPOs available to ADS holders, it will exercise the rights and purchase the CPOs on their behalf. The depositary will then deposit the CPOs and deliver ADSs to the applicable holders. It will only exercise rights if holders pay it the exercise price and any other charges required by the terms of the rights. U.S. securities laws may restrict transfers and cancellation of the ADSs representing CPOs purchased upon exercise of rights. For example, holders may not be able to trade these ADSs freely in the United States. In this case, the depositary may deliver restricted depositary shares that have the same terms as the ADSs described in this section except for changes needed to put the necessary restrictions in place.

Other Distributions. The depositary will send to ADS holders anything else the CPO trustee distributes on deposited securities by any means it determines to be legal, fair and practical. If the depositary determines that it cannot make the distribution in a legal, fair and practical manner, it may sell the distributed assets and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash or determine to hold the distributed assets, in which case ADSs will also represent the newly distributed assets. However, the depositary is not required to distribute any securities (other than ADSs) unless it receives satisfactory evidence from us that it is legal to make that distribution. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed securities or property sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.

Unlawful or Impracticable Distributions. The depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We have no obligation to register ADSs, CPOs, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, CPOs, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that ADS holders may not receive the distributions we make on our common stock or any value for such distributions if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available to such holders.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

The depositary will deliver ADSs upon the deposit of CPOs or evidence of rights to receive CPOs with the custodian. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will register the appropriate number of ADSs in the names requested and will deliver the ADSs to the persons requested.

Upon surrender of ADSs to the depositary, upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will deliver the CPOs and any other deposited securities underlying the surrendered ADSs to the person surrendering the ADSs or a person designated by them at the office of the custodian or, at the holder’s request, risk and expense, the depositary will deliver the deposited securities at its office, if feasible; provided, however, that non-Mexican holders may not hold Series A shares directly, but will hold CPOs representing a financial interest in such Series A shares as described in this prospectus.

Voting Rights

ADS holders have no voting rights and do not have the power to instruct the depositary to vote the shares underlying the CPOs underlying such ADSs.

Fees and Expenses

The following table sets forth the applicable fees for various services, transactions and activities related to the ADSs.

155

Table of Contents

Persons Depositing CPOs or ADR Holders Must Pay: |  | For:
U.S. $5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or portion of 100 ADSs) |  | Issuance of ADSs, including issuances resulting from a distribution of CPOs or rights or other property
|  | Cancellation of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal, including if the deposit agreement terminates
U.S. $0.05 (or less) per ADS |  | Any cash distribution to ADS holders
A fee equivalent to the fee that would be payable if securities distributed to you had been CPOs and the CPOs had been deposited for issuance of ADSs |  | Distribution of securities distributed to holders of deposited securities which are distributed by the depositary to ADS holders
U.S. $0.05 (or less) per ADS per calendar year |  | Depositary services
Registration or transfer fees |  | Transfer and registration of CPOs on our CPO register to or from the name of the depositary or its agent when you deposit or withdraw CPOs
Expenses of the depositary |  | Conversion of foreign currency to U.S. dollars
Expenses of the depositary |  | Cable, telex and facsimile transmission (when expressly provided in the deposit agreement)
Taxes and other governmental charges the depositary or the custodian have to pay on any ADSs or CPOs underlying ADSs, for example, stock transfer taxes, stamp duty or withholding taxes, any charges incurred by the depositary or its agents for servicing deposited securities. The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may collect any of its fees by deduction from any cash distribution payable to ADS holders that are obligated to pay those fees. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid. |  | As necessary
From time to time, the depositary may make payments to us to reimburse and / or share revenue from the fees collected from ADS holders, or waive fees and expenses for services provided, generally relating to costs and expenses arising out of establishment and maintenance of the ADS program. In performing its duties under the deposit agreement, the depositary may use brokers, dealers or other service providers that are affiliates of the depositary and that may earn or share fees or commissions. |  |

Payment of Taxes

The depositary may deduct the amount of any taxes owed from any payments to ADS holders. It may also sell deposited securities, by public or private sale, to pay any taxes owed. ADS holders will remain liable if the proceeds of the sale are not enough to pay the taxes. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay or distribute to applicable ADS holder any proceeds or property remaining after it has paid the taxes.

Reclassifications, Recapitalizations and Mergers

If We: |  | Then:
Change the nominal or par value of the CPOs |  | The cash, shares or other securities received by the depositary will become deposited securities. Each ADS will automatically represent its equal share of the new deposited securities.
Reclassify, split up or consolidate any of the deposited securities |  | The depositary may distribute some or all of the cash, shares or other securities it received. It may also deliver new ADRs or ask ADR holders to surrender their outstanding ADRs in exchange for new ADRs identifying the new deposited securities.
Distribute securities on the CPOs that are not distributed to ADS holders |  | If dividend securities are first distributed in respect of outstanding Series A shares, the dividend securities will be held in the CPO trust, and the CPO trustee will distribute additional CPOs to the relevant holders of CPOs, including those represented by ADRs, in proportion to their holdings. If the CPO deed does not allow the Company to cause additional CPOs to be issued in an amount sufficient to represent the Series A shares paid as a dividend, the Company would be required to modify the CPO deed or enter into a new CPO deed to issue the number of CPOs necessary to represent the Series A shares issued as a dividend. If the CPO trustee receives a distribution in a form other than cash or additional Series A shares, the CPO trustee will make the distribution pursuant to the instructions of the technical committee.
Recapitalize, reorganize, merge, liquidate, sell all or substantially all of our assets, or take any similar action |  | To the extent there are changes to the Series A Shares affecting our CPOs, the CPO trustee shall pursuant to the instructions of the technical committee of the CPO trust, release additional CPOs or call for the surrender of outstanding CPOs to be exchanged for new CPOs should the following circumstances occur (i) a split or a consolidation of our Series A shares; (ii) a capitalization affecting, or redemption of, our Series A shares; (iii) any other reclassification or restructuring of our Series A shares; or (iv) any merger, consolidation, or spin-off. The CPO trustee, as instructed by the technical committee, will also decide if any changes or required amendments must be made to the CPO trust agreement and the CPO trust deeds. If the CPO deed does not allow the Company to cause additional CPOs to be released in an amount sufficient to represent the Series A shares necessary to reflect the corporate events specified above, the Company will need to modify the CPO deed or enter into a new CPO deed that will permit the Company to issue the number of CPOs necessary to represent the Series A shares that reflect any such event. If the Company consolidates its capital stock in a way that is no longer consistent with the structure of the CPO trust, the CPO trustee, as instructed by the CPO trust’s technical committee, will determine how the corpus of the CPO trust should be modified to reflect such consolidation. If the Company calls for a redemption of the Series A shares held in the CPO trust, the CPO trustee will follow the instructions of the CPO trust’s technical committee, and will act pursuant to applicable law, to determine which CPOs will be redeemed, in a number equal to the number of Series A shares held in the CPO trust called for redemption. The CPO trustee will then pay the holders of the redeemed CPOs their proportional share of the consideration. Upon the Company’s dissolution or liquidation, shareholders will appoint one or more liquidators at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting to wind up the Company’s affairs. All fully paid and outstanding shares of capital stock will be entitled to participate equally in any liquidating distributions.

Amendment and Termination

We may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and the ADRs for any reason without the consent of the ADS holders. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar items, or prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days after the depositary notifies ADS holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, ADS holders are considered, by continuing to hold ADSs, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the deposit agreement as amended.

The depositary will terminate the deposit agreement if we ask it to do so. The depositary may also terminate the deposit agreement if the depositary has told us that it would like to resign, and we have not appointed a new depositary bank within 60 days. In either case, the depositary must notify ADS holders at least 30 days before termination.

After termination, the depositary and its agents will do the following under the deposit agreement but nothing else: (a) advise ADS holders that the deposit agreement is terminated, (b) collect distributions on the deposited securities, (c) sell rights and other property, and (d) deliver CPOs and other deposited securities upon surrender of ADSs. Four months or more after termination, the depositary may sell any remaining deposited securities by public or private sale. After that, the depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is holding under the deposit agreement for the pro rata benefit of the ADS holders that have not surrendered their ADSs. It will not invest the money and has no liability for interest. The depositary’s only obligations will be to account for the money and other cash. After termination, our only obligations will be to indemnify the depositary and to pay fees and expenses of the depositary that we agreed to pay.

Shareholder Communications and Inspection of Register of Holders of ADSs

The depositary will make available for shareholders’ inspection at its office all communications that it receives from us or the CPO trustee as a holder of deposited securities that we or the COP trustee make generally available to holders of deposited securities. The depositary will send shareholders copies of those communications if we ask it to. Shareholders have a right to inspect the register of holders of ADSs, but not for the purpose of contacting those holders about a matter unrelated to our business or the ADSs.

Limitations on Obligations and Liability

The deposit agreement expressly limits our obligations and the obligations of the depositary. It also limits our liability and the liability of the depositary. We and the depositary:

| · | are only obligated to take the actions specifically set forth in the deposit agreement without negligence or bad faith;

| · | are not liable if either of us is prevented or delayed by law or circumstances beyond our control from performing our obligations under the deposit agreement;

| · | are not liable if either of us exercises discretion permitted under the deposit agreement;

| · | are not liable for the inability of any holder of ADSs to benefit from any distribution on deposited securities that is not made available to holders of ADSs under the terms of the deposit agreement, or for any special, consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of the deposit agreement;

| · | have no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related to the ADRs or the deposit agreement on an ADR holder’s behalf or on behalf of any other party; and

| · | may rely upon any documents we believe in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party.

In the deposit agreement, we agree to indemnify the depositary for acting as depositary, except for losses caused by the depositary’s own negligence or bad faith, and the depositary agrees to indemnify us for losses resulting from its negligence or bad faith.

Requirements for Depositary Actions

Before the depositary will deliver or register a transfer of an ADS, make a distribution of ADSs, or permit withdrawal of CPOs, the depositary may require:

| · | payment of stock transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and transfer or registration fees charged by third parties for the transfer of any CPOs or other deposited securities;

| · | satisfactory proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other information it deems necessary; and

| · | compliance with regulations it may establish, from time to time, consistent with the deposit agreement, including presentation of transfer documents.

The depositary may refuse to deliver ADSs or register transfers of ADSs generally when the transfer books of the depositary, the CPO trustee or our transfer books are closed or at any time if the depositary or we think it advisable to do so.

ADS Holders’ Right to Receive the CPOs Underlying ADSs

ADS holders have the right to surrender their ADSs and withdraw the underlying CPOs at any time except:

| · | when temporary delays arise because: (i) the depositary or the CPO trustee has closed its transfer books, or we have closed our transfer books; (ii) the transfer of CPOs is blocked to permit voting at a shareholders’ meeting; or (iii) we are paying a dividend on our common stock or any other security deposited with the CPO trustee;

| · | if the ADS holder owes money to pay fees, taxes and similar charges; and

| · | when it is necessary to prohibit withdrawals in order to comply with any laws or governmental regulations that apply to ADSs or to the withdrawal of CPOs or other deposited securities.

This right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of the deposit agreement.

Pre-release of ADSs

The deposit agreement permits the depositary to deliver ADSs before deposit of the underlying CPOs. This is called a pre-release of the ADSs. The depositary may also deliver CPOs upon cancellation of pre-released ADSs (even if the ADSs are surrendered before the pre-release transaction has been closed out). A pre-release is closed out as soon as the underlying CPOs are delivered to the depositary. The depositary may receive ADSs instead of CPOs to close out a pre-release. The depositary may pre-release ADSs only under the following conditions: (a) before or at the time of the pre-release, the person to whom the pre-release is being made represents to the depositary in writing that it or its customer owns the CPOs or ADSs to be deposited; (b) the pre-release is fully collateralized with cash or other collateral that the depositary considers appropriate; and (c) the depositary must be able to close out the pre-release on not more than five business days’ notice. In addition, the depositary will limit the number of ADSs that may be outstanding at any time as a result of pre-release, although the depositary may disregard the limit from time to time, if it thinks it is appropriate to do so.

Depositary Payments

During 2024, we received U.S. $549,911.42 from the depositary associated with our American Depositary Shares program. This amount includes reimbursements for continuing annual stock exchange listing fees, standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs (e.g., the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls), any applicable performance indicators associated with the ADR facility, underwriting fees and legal fees.

Please refer to Exhibit 2.1(b) to this annual report for the remaining information relating to our American Depositary Shares as required under Item 12.D of Form 20-F.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We carried out an evaluation under the supervision of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with IFRS, and it includes those policies and procedures that:

| · | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets;

| · | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and board of directors; and

| · | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, effective control over financial reporting cannot, and does not, provide absolute assurance of achieving our control objectives. Also, projection of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of the year ended December 31, 2024, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the criteria established in 2013 in the publication “Internal Control—Integrated Framework,” issued by the Treadway Commission’s Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO), as well as the rules prescribed by the SEC in its Final Rule “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Periodic Reports.”

Based on the assessment performed, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

ITEM 16G CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As a foreign private issuer, we may follow our home country’s corporate governance practices in lieu of most of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards. Pursuant to Section 303A.11 of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, we are required to provide a summary of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required for U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. The table below discloses the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE standards.

NYSE Standards |  | Our Corporate Governance Practices
Director Independence. Majority of board of directors must be independent. “Controlled companies,” which would include our company if we were a U.S. issuer, are exempt from this requirement. A controlled company is one in which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company, rather than the public. §303A.01 |  | Director Independence. Pursuant to the LMV and our by-laws, our shareholders are required to appoint the members of our board of directors comprised of no more than 21 members, 25% of whom must be independent. Certain persons are per se non-independent, including insiders, control persons, major suppliers and relatives of such persons. In accordance with the LMV, our shareholders’ meeting is required to make a determination as to the independence of our directors, though such determination may be challenged by the CNBV. See Item 6: “Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors and Senior Management” and Item 10: “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association-Provisions of Our By-laws and Mexican Law Relating to Directors—Election of Directors.”
Executive Sessions. Non-management directors must meet regularly in executive sessions without management. Independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year. §303A.03 |  | Executive Sessions. Non-management directors meet regularly in executive sessions without management.

NYSE Standards |  | Our Corporate Governance Practices
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. Nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors is required. The committee must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. “Controlled companies” are exempt from these requirements. §303A.04 As a controlled company, we would be exempt from this requirement if we were a U.S. issuer. |  | Nominating Committee. We are not required to have a nominating committee. However, we maintain a corporate governance committee that oversees compensation and nominations which may, among other things, submit proposals to our board of directors in respect of the appointment of principal officers, the inaction, amendment or formation of incentive plans for officers and compensation of officers within the first four corporate levels. See Item 6: “Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Directors and Senior Management—Board of Directors” and Item 10: “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association—Provisions of Our By-laws and Mexican Law Relating to Directors” for further information.
Compensation Committee. Compensation committee of independent directors is required, which must evaluate and approve executive officer compensation. The committee must have a charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. “Controlled companies” are exempt from this requirement. §303A.05. As a controlled company, we would be exempt from this requirement if we were a U.S. issuer. |  | Compensation Committee. We are not required to have a compensation committee. However, we maintain a corporate governance committee that oversees compensation and nominations working group that makes proposals to the board of directors in respect of compensation of officers within the first four corporate levels. See Item 10: “Additional Information—Memorandum and Articles of Association—Provisions of Our By-laws and Mexican Law Relating to Directors” for further information.

Audit Committee. Audit committee satisfying the independence and other requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 and the more stringent requirements under the NYSE standards is required. §§303A.06, 303A.07 |  | Audit Committee. We have an audit committee comprised of three members. Each member of the audit committee is independent, as independence is defined under the LMV, and also meets the independence requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. Our audit committee operates primarily pursuant to LMV and our by-laws. For a detailed description of the duties of our audit committee, see Item 6: “Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Board Practices—Audit Committee.”

Table of Contents

NYSE Standards |  | Our Corporate Governance Practices
Equity Compensation Plans. Equity compensation plans require shareholder approval, subject to limited exemptions. §§303A.08 & 312.03 |  | Equity Compensation Plans. Shareholder approval is required for the adoption and amendment of an equity-compensation plan based upon the recommendation of our board of directors and the opinion of our corporate governance committee.
Shareholder Approval for Issuance of Securities. Issuances of securities (1) that will result in a change of control of the issuer, (2) that are to a related party or someone closely related to a related party, (3) that have voting power equal to at least 20% of the outstanding common stock voting power before such issuance or (4) that will increase the number of shares by at least 20% of the number of outstanding shares before such issuance require shareholder approval. §§312.03(b)-(d) |  | Shareholder Approval for Issuance of Securities. Mexican law and our by-laws require our shareholders to authorize any share issuance. Any issuance of shares is subject to mandatory preemptive rights, except in the event of a public offering and other limited circumstances. Shares issued that have cleared preemptive rights or that are the subject of public offerings, may be allocated as a result of a resolution from our directors. Shares repurchased by us in the open market may be placed again based upon resolutions by our directors.
Other Shareholder Approvals. The NYSE rules also require shareholder approval for certain matters, such as the opportunity to vote on equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, which is required under certain circumstances under Mexican law. |  | Other Shareholder Approvals. We intend to follow home country law in determining whether shareholder approval is required.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct and ethics is required, with disclosure of any waiver for directors or executive officers. The code must contain compliance standards and procedures that will facilitate the effective operation of the code. §303A.10 |  | Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We have adopted a code of ethics, which has been accepted by all of our directors and executive officers and all other personnel.

NYSE Standards |  | Our Corporate Governance Practices
Conflicts of Interest. Determination of how to review and oversee related party transactions is left to the listed company. The audit committee or comparable body, however, could be considered the forum for such review and oversight. §307.00. Certain issuances of common stock to a related party require shareholder approval. §312.03(b) |  | Conflicts of Interest. In accordance with Mexican law and our by-laws, our board of directors is required to approve, on a case-by-case basis, transactions involving a conflict of interest (other than transactions in the ordinary course of business that satisfy our procedures), based upon the opinion of our audit committee, that may request the opinion of a third-party expert. Pursuant to the LMV, our board of directors may establish guidelines regarding related party transactions that do not require the board of directors’ approval.
Solicitation of Proxies. Solicitation of proxies and provision of proxy materials is required for all meetings of shareholders. Copies of such proxy solicitations are to be provided to NYSE. §§402.00 & 402.04 |  | Solicitation of Proxies. We are required under Mexican law to solicit proxies and provide proxy materials for meetings of shareholders. In accordance with Mexican law and our by-laws, we are also required to inform shareholders of all meetings by notice provided in newspapers of wide distribution in Mexico, and which specify the requirements for admission to the meeting, provides a mechanism by which shareholders can vote by proxy, and makes proxies available. Shareholders that are Mexican investors and are entitled to vote, may attend a shareholders’ meeting and cast votes at such meeting. Under the deposit agreement relating to the ADSs, holders of the ADSs receive notices of shareholders’ meetings. As foreign investors, holders of ADSs (or CPOs underlying the securities) are not entitled to vote at our shareholders’ meetings.
|  | Peer Review. Under Mexican law we must be audited by a public accountant that qualifies as independent, and satisfies the requirements specified under applicable law, maintaining certain quality standards.

ITEM 16K CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program aimed at safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.

Our approach to cybersecurity is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) and the International Organization for Standardization 27005 (ISO/IEC 27005:2022). It is important to note that while we reference these frameworks, that does not imply strict adherence to specific technical standards, specifications, or requirements. Instead, we use the NIST CSF and ISO 27005:2022 as guiding principles to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

Moreover, our cybersecurity risk management program integrates into our broader enterprise risk management framework through shared methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes.

With our cybersecurity risk management program, several key components include the following:

| · | Risk assessments: Assessments are conducted to identify and prioritize significant cybersecurity risks to our critical systems and information.

| · | Dedicated security team: A specialized security team oversees the risk assessment processes, manages security controls, and orchestrates responses to cybersecurity incidents.

| · | Utilization of external service providers: We engage external service providers as we deem appropriate to help augment our capabilities, leveraging their expertise to assess, test, or bolster various aspects of our security controls.

| · | Cybersecurity awareness training: Through training initiatives, we seek to empower our employees and incident response personnel with the knowledge and skills to recognize and respond to cyber threats.

| · | Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan: Our response plan outlines processes for addressing cybersecurity incidents, minimizing disruptions and mitigating potential impacts.

| · | Third-Party Risk: We seek to assess risk and to obtain cybersecurity-related contractual commitments from critical service providers where possible.

For the Company, cybersecurity risk management is not merely a compliance exercise but viewed as important to our operational ethos. As technology evolves and threats evolve with it, we remain committed to working to enhance the security and resiliency of our organization. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See “Risk Factors—Cyber-attacks or other cyber-incidents involving our IT Systems and Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.”

Cybersecurity Governance

Cybersecurity risk is part of our overall risk oversight function. The board of directors has entrusted the audit committee with the oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks.

The audit committee, oversees the implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program, supported by our Technology & Transformation Senior Director and the IT and Cybersecurity Working Group. This multidisciplinary group is comprised of executive management members as well as key leaders from internal audit, risk evaluation, financial planning, compliance, IT, and technology domains, alongside external advisors.

Quarterly reports from the IT and Cybersecurity Working Group provide the audit committee with assessments of our cybersecurity risks and risk remediation and management initiatives. Additionally, management updates the audit committee on significant cybersecurity incidents.

Continuing education remains a cornerstone of our governance approach, with the audit committee receiving briefings on cybersecurity topics from our Technology & Transformation Senior Director, internal security staff, or external experts.

Key strategic and operational initiatives are led by our Technology & Transformation Senior Director, the IT senior manager, the senior transformation manager, the IT internal control manager, and the IT security manager who are primarily responsible for assessing and managing cybersecurity risks. These individuals are skilled in risk management, data safety, control design, and cybersecurity operations management. Our Technology & Transformation Senior Director has over 30 years of experience in control areas, risk management and compliance including the last four years focused on IT, cybersecurity and digital transformation. Our IT senior manager has over 30 years of experience in IT management with a background in infrastructure, support and administration of mission-critical systems. Our Senior Transformation Manager has over 24 years of experience spearheading transformation initiatives focused on business processes and needs. Finally, our IT Internal Control Manager has over 24 years of experience in IT and cybersecurity controls, risk management and regulatory compliance.

In addition, various operational cybersecurity team members hold certifications in ISO27000, CISA, CISM, among others, and complement this expertise with specialized training and proficiency in risk management and cybersecurity. Together, they remain vigilant and informed, leveraging threat intelligence, external consultations, and advanced security tools to prevent, detect, and respond to cybersecurity risks and incidents effectively.

Our operational cybersecurity team members are vital to helping management members (as well as the IT and Cybersecurity Working Group), stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS Accounting Standards).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated April 29, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

F-2

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of the aircraft components and engines lease return obligations

As described in Notes 1q), 2i), 14i) and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2024, the Company has a provision for its aircraft components and engines lease return obligations in the amount of $ 377,377 thousand. Aircraft lease agreements require the Company to return aircraft components (airframe, APU and landing gears) and engines (overhaul and limited life parts) to the lessor under specific conditions of use.

A provision for the aircraft components and engines lease return obligation is recognized from the time it becomes more likely than not that such costs will be incurred, and these can be estimated reliably. The provision is included as part of other liabilities and the costs are recognized as a component of variable lease expenses on a straight-line basis through the remaining lease term. The Company estimates the provision for its aircraft components and engines lease return obligation using certain assumptions including the projected usage of the aircraft and the expected costs of the maintenance tasks to be performed at the return date as well as discount rates to determine the present value of the obligations at the reporting date.

We have identified the evaluation of the estimate of the aircraft components and engines lease return obligation as a critical audit matter. The assessment of the provision required significant judgment given the complexity involved in determining the key assumptions, which included the projected usage of the aircraft, the estimated maintenance cost at the end of the lease contract, and the discount rates. In addition, specialized skills and knowledge were required to assess the discount rates.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the aircraft components and engines lease return obligation process, including controls related to the key assumptions used in the estimate of the provision. We compared the cost of historical aircraft returns to the amounts accrued by the Company in previous years to assess the Company’s ability to estimate the provision. For all redeliveries performed during the year, we compare the total cost of redeliveries to the accrued provision for this specific events of return. To evaluate the key assumption used by the Company to estimate its future aircraft components and engines lease return obligations we:

• for a sample of leases subject to the accrual, we compared the assumption of projected usage included in the Company’s business plan, to the average of real usage in 2024

• for a sample of leases, we compared the estimated costs of maintenance tasks to be performed at the return date, included in the additions to the accrual of the current year, with the updated list of prices from manufacturers or historical payments for these types of maintenance

• for a sample of leases, we compared the actual cost of the aircraft components and engines lease return obligation to the accrued amounts of the year and to the cost of maintenance performed to comply with contractual redelivery conditions

• involved valuation professionals, with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in the evaluation of the reasonableness of the discount rates by comparing the Company’s inputs to publicly available data and assess the overall discount rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated April 29, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Presentation currency and definition of terms

The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are presented in U.S. dollars, except when specific reference is made to a different currency. When reference is made to U.S. dollars or “$,” it means dollars of the United States. All amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are stated in thousands, except when references are made to earnings or loss per share and/or prices per share. When reference is made to “Ps” or “pesos,” it means Mexican pesos. When it is deemed relevant, certain amounts in foreign currency presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements include between parentheses a convenience translation into dollars and/or into pesos, as applicable.

b) Basis of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, for accounting purposes, the companies included in the consolidated financial statements are as shown in the next page.

Consolidation by control

Name | Principal Activities | Country
North Star Financing Limited(1) (2) (SPV) | Private company limited by shares | Ireland

(1) | With effect from December 19, 2024, the private company limited by shares was constituted.

(2) | As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not hold an ownership interest in North Star Financing Limited. However, management has determined that the Company exercises control over the entity in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.

Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if, and only if, the Company has:

(i) | Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

(ii) | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.

(iii) | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

(i) | The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee.

(ii) | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements.

(iii) | The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Company reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

All intercompany balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated completely on consolidation in the consolidated financial statements.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollar at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing at the time. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in profit or loss.

c) Revenue recognition

Passenger revenues

Revenues from the air transportation of passengers are recognized at the earlier of when the service is provided or when the non-refundable ticket expires on the date of the scheduled travel.

F-15

Ticket sales for future flights are initially recognized as contract liabilities under the caption “unearned transportation revenue” and once the transportation service is provided by the Company or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel, the earned revenue is recognized as passenger ticket revenue and the unearned transportation revenue is reduced by the same amount. All the Company’s tickets are non-refundable; however, certain tickets may be changed upon a payment of a fee. Additionally, the Company does not operate its own frequent flier program.

The most significant passenger revenue includes revenues generated from: (i) fare revenue and (ii) other passenger revenues. Other passenger services include but are not limited to fees charged for excess baggage, bookings through the call center or third-party agencies, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes and charters. They are recognized as revenue when the obligation of passenger transportation service is provided by the Company or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel.

The Company also classifies as other passenger revenue “V Club” and other similar services, which are recognized as revenue over time when the service is provided.

The Company sells certain connecting flight tickets with one or more segments operated by other airline partners. For segments operated by other airline partners, the Company has determined that it is acting as an agent on behalf of the other airline as it is responsible for its portion of the contract (i.e., transportation of the passenger). When the Company acts as the agent, the Company recognizes revenue within other passenger revenues at time of travel, for the net amount retained by the Company for any segments flown by another airline.

Non-passenger revenues

The most significant non-passenger revenues include: (i) revenues from other non-passenger services described below and (ii) cargo services.

Revenues from other non-passenger services mainly include, but are not limited to, commissions charged to third parties for the sale of trip insurance and other services. These, as well as cargo services, are recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided.

The Company also evaluates, in each new transaction where applicable, the principal versus agent considerations concerning certain non-air travel service arrangements with third-party providers. When the Company determines that the underlying services are provided through third parties who are primarily responsible for providing the services, revenue for these specific non-air travel services is presented on a net basis (agent).

Code-share agreement

On January 16, 2018, the Company and Frontier entered into a code-share operations agreement, which started operations in September 2018.

Through this alliance, the Company’s customers gain access to additional cities in the U.S. beyond the current available destinations as the Company’s customers are able to buy a ticket throughout any of Frontier’s actual destinations, and Frontier customers gain first-time access to new destinations in Mexico through Volaris’s presence in Mexican airports.

Code-share tickets can be purchased directly from the Volaris website. The airline that provides the transportation recognizes the revenue when the service is provided to the customer.

F-16

Other considerations analyzed as part of revenue from contracts with customers

All services provided by the Company including sales of tickets for future flights, other passenger-related services and non-passenger services must be paid through a full cash settlement. The payment of the transaction price is equal to the cash settlement from the client at the sales time (using different payment options like credit or debit cards, paying through a third party or directly at the counter in cash). There is little or no judgment to determine the point in time of the revenue recognition, and the amount of it. Even if mainly all the sales of services are initially recognized as contract liabilities, there is no financing component in these transactions.

The cost to obtain a contract is represented by the commissions paid to the travel agencies and the bank commissions charged by the financial institutions for processing electronic transactions (Note 10). The Company does not incur any additional costs to obtain and fulfill a contract that is eligible for capitalization.

Trade receivables are mainly with financial institutions due to transactions with credit and debit cards, and therefore, they are non-interest bearing and are mainly on terms of 24 to 48 hours. The Company has the right of collection at the beginning of the contracts, and there are no discounts, payment incentives, bonuses or other variable considerations after the purchase that could modify the amount of the transaction price.

The Company’s tickets are non-refundable. However, in the event that the company cancels a flight due to causes attributable to the airline, the passengers are entitled to either move their flight at no additional cost, receive a refund or obtain a voucher. No revenue is recognized until either the voucher is redeemed, and the associated flight occurs, or the voucher expires. When vouchers issued exceed the amount of the original amount paid by the passenger, the excess is recorded as reduction of the operating revenues. All the Company’s revenues related to future services are rendered through an approximate period of 12 months.

Contract with FEMSA

On January 23, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Concesionaria, entered into an agreement with Lealtad Mercadotecnia y Conocimientos Agregados, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (the “Supplier”), a subsidiary of Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA). Under this contract, Concesionaria became a participating company in a coalition that integrates a Loyalty Program called “Spin Premia®,” established and managed by the Supplier. This Program offers exclusive benefits to its users, allowing them to accumulate and redeem reward points with OXXO and Volaris.

Under the “Spin Premia” agreement, customers participating in this program are entitled to accumulate or redeem points when they purchase goods or use services with any of the companies that are part of the coalition.

The points accumulated for services provided by the Company are recorded as a reduction in revenues. The points redeemed for the Company’s services are recorded as deferred revenue until the time when the service is provided, or the points expire. The value of points is determined according to contractual conditions between the Company and FEMSA.

d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by bank deposits, short-term deposits on demand and highly liquid investments with maturities close to three months from the original purchase date, established in the agreements. For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments.

F-17

Management performs an assessment of the cash transactions carried out by the Company, for available cash and investment activities. These transactions are classified based on the results of this assessment.

The Company has agreements with financial institutions’ counterparties that process customer credit card transactions for the sale of air travel and other services. These credit card processing agreements do not have significant cash reserve requirements.

The Company establishes cash reserves as required by a debt agreement; however, these reserves remain available for withdraw.

e) Short-term investments

Short-term investments consist of fixed-term bank deposits with maturity from the original purchase date, established in the negotiation and the days stipulated in the agreements.

f) Financial instruments initial recognition and subsequent measurement

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another entity.

i) Financial assets

Initial recognition

Classification of financial assets and initial recognition

The Company determines the classification and measurement of financial assets, in accordance with the categories in IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments,” which are based on both: the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of these assets and the business model objective for holding them.

Financial assets include those carried at fair value through profit and losses (“FVTPL”), whose objective to hold them is for trading purposes (short-term investments), or at amortized cost, for accounts receivables held to collect the contractual cash flows, which are characterized by solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Derivative financial instruments are also considered financial assets when these represent contractual rights to receive cash or another financial asset. All of the Company’s financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, including derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their initial classification, as is described below:

| 1. | Financial assets at FVTPL which include financial assets held for trading.

| 2. | Financial assets at amortized cost, whose characteristics meet the SPPI criteria and were originated to be held to collect principal and interest in accordance with the Company’s business model.

| 3. | Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) with recycling of cumulative gains and losses.

F-18

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

| a) | The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.

| b) | The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or (ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset, or when the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset.

In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

ii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events have occurred since the initial recognition of an asset (an incurred “loss event”) that have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in receivable, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Further disclosures related to impairment of financial assets are also provided in (Note 8).

For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating Expected Credit Losses (ECLs). Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these receivables (Note 8).

iii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, including loans and borrowings, accounts payables to suppliers, unearned transportation revenue, other accounts payable and financial instruments.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

F-19

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Accounts payable are subsequently measured at amortized cost and do not bear interest or result in gains and losses due to their short-term nature.

Loans and borrowings are the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition at fair value (consideration received), interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on issuance and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statements of operations. This amortized cost category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings (Note 5).

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities under the fair value option, which are classified as held for trading, if they are acquired for the purpose of selling them in the near future. This category includes derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments.”

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.

The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is:

| (i) | A currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and

| (ii) | An intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

g) Other accounts receivable

Other accounts receivable are due primarily from major credit card processors associated with the sales of tickets and are stated at cost less allowances made for credit losses, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature.

F-20

h) Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of flight equipment expendable parts, materials and supplies, and are initially recorded at acquisition cost. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or at their net realization value, whichever is less. The cost is determined based on the method of specific identification and expensed when used in operations. The Company recognizes the necessary estimates for decreases in the value of its inventories due to impairment, obsolescence, slow movement and causes that indicate that the use or realization of the aircraft spare parts and flight equipment accessories that are part of the inventory will be less than recorded value. The cost of inventories is determined based on the specific identification method and is recorded as an expense as it is used in operations.

i) Intangible assets

Cost related to the purchase or development of computer software that is separable from an item of related hardware is capitalized separately measured at cost and amortized over the period in which it will generate benefits on a straight-line basis. The Company annually reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of intangible assets and any changes are accounted for prospectively.

The Company records impairment charges on intangible assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets or related cash generating unit may be impaired and the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of (i) its fair value less cost to sell and (ii) its value in use.

The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, using our projections of operating results for the near future, typically extending no more than five years. The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is sensitive to the uncertainties inherent in the preparation of projections and the discount rate used in the calculation. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not record any impairment loss in the value of its intangible assets.

Software

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of cost incurred to acquire, implement and bring the software into use. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are expensed as incurred. In case of development or improvement to systems that will generate probable future economic benefits, the Company capitalizes software development costs, including directly attributable expenditures on materials, labor and other direct costs.

Acquired software cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Licenses and software rights acquired by the Company have finite useful lives and are amortized on a straight–line basis over the term of the contract. Amortization expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

j) Guarantee deposits

Guarantee deposits primarily include aircraft maintenance deposits paid to lessors, deposits for rent of flight equipment and other guarantee deposits. Aircraft and engine deposits are held by lessors in U.S. dollars and are presented as current assets and non-current assets, based on the recovery dates of each deposit established in the related agreements (Note 11).

F-21

Deposits for flight equipment maintenance paid to lessors

Certain lease agreements of the Companyrequire the obligation to pay maintenance deposits to aircraft lessors, in order to guarantee major maintenance work.

These lease agreements establish that maintenance deposits are reimbursable to the Company at the time the major maintenance event is concluded for an amount equal to: (i) the maintenance deposit held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event or (ii) the qualifying costs related to the specific maintenance event.

Substantially all major maintenance deposits are generally calculated based on the use of leased aircraft and engines (flight hours or operating cycles). The sole purpose of these deposits is to guarantee to the lessor the execution of maintenance work on the aircraft and engines.

Maintenance deposits that the Company expects to recover from lessors are presented as security deposits in the consolidated statement of financial position.

According to the term of the lease, in each contract it is evaluated whether major maintenance of the leased aircraft and engines is expected to be carried out. In the event that major maintenance is not expected to be performed on its own account, the deposit is recorded as a variable lease payment, since it represents part of the use of the leased goods and is determined based on time or flight cycles. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized supplemental lease payments of US$114,316, US$83,528 and US$48,172, respectively.

When modifications are made to the lease agreements that entail an extension of the lease term, the maintenance deposits, which had been recorded previously as variable lease payments, can be converted into recoverable deposits and presented as recoverable assets, at the modification date.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company added 14 and 13 aircraft to its fleet, respectively (Note 14). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company extended the lease period of 10 aircraft and two engines. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company extended the lease period of nine aircraft and six engines. Certain other aircraft lease agreements do not require the obligation to pay maintenance deposits in advance to lessors to guarantee important maintenance activities; therefore, the Company does not record or make payments for guarantee deposits with respect to these aircraft. However, some of these lease agreements include the obligation to make maintenance adjustment payments to lessors at the end of the lease period. These maintenance adjustments cover maintenance events that are not expected to be performed before the termination of the lease; for such agreements, the Company accumulates a liability related to the amount of the costs that will be incurred at the end of the lease, since no maintenance deposits have been made (Note 16).

k) Aircraft and engine maintenance

The Company is required to conduct various levels of aircraft maintenance. Maintenance requirements depend on the type of aircraft, age and the route network over which it operates (utilization).

Fleet maintenance requirements may include preventive maintenance tasks based on manufacturers’ recommendations, for example, component checks, airframe and systems checks, periodic major maintenance and engine checks.

Aircraft maintenance and repair consists of routine and non-routine tasks, divided mainly into three general categories: (i) routine line maintenance, (ii) major maintenance and (iii) component checks.

F-22

(i) Routine line maintenance requirements consist of scheduled maintenance checks on the Company’s aircraft, including pre-flight, daily and weekly checks, any diagnostics and routine repairs and any unscheduled maintenance is performed as required. These type of maintenance events are normally performed by in–house trained mechanics and are primarily completed at the main airports that the Company currently serves, supported by sub-contracted companies.

Other maintenance activities are sub-contracted to certified maintenance business partners, repair and overhaul organizations. Routine maintenance also includes scheduled tasks that can typically take from six to 12 days to accomplish and are required every 24 or 36 months, such as 24-month checks and C checks. All maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

(ii) Major maintenance for the aircraft consists of a series of more complex tasks, including structural checks for the airframe, that can take up to six weeks to accomplish and typically are required every six years.

Major maintenance is accounted for under the deferral method, whereby the cost of major maintenance, major overhaul and repair is capitalized leasehold improvements to flight equipment and amortized over the shorter of the period to the next major maintenance event or the remaining contractual lease term. The next major maintenance event is estimated based on assumptions including estimated time of usage. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and the Mexican Federal Civil Aviation Agency (Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil-AFAC) authorized maintenance intervals and average removal times as recommended by the aircraft and components manufacturers of our fleet.

These assumptions may change based on changes in the utilization of aircraft, changes in government regulations and recommended manufacturer maintenance intervals. In addition, these assumptions can be affected by unplanned events that could damage an airframe, engine or major component to a level that would require a heavy maintenance event prior to a scheduled maintenance event. To the extent the planned usage increases, the estimated life would decrease before the next maintenance event, resulting in additional expense over a shorter period.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company capitalized major maintenance events as part of leasehold improvements to flight equipment for an amount of US$129,354, US$139,830 and US$138,811, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the amortization of major maintenance leasehold improvement costs was US$150,625, US$114,924 and US$83,071, respectively. The amortization of deferred maintenance costs is recorded as part of depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

(iii) The Company has a power-by-the hour agreement for component services, which guarantees the availability of aircraft components for the Company’s fleet when they are required. It also provides aircraft components that are included in the redelivery conditions of the contract (hard time) with a fixed priced at the time of redelivery. The monthly maintenance cost associated with this agreement is recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has an engine flight hour agreement (repair agreement) that guarantees a cost for the engines’ shop visits, provides miscellaneous engines’ coverage, supports the cost of foreign objects damage events, ensures there is protection from annual escalations and grants credit for certain scrapped components. The cost associated with the miscellaneous engines’ coverage is recorded monthly as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.

F-23

l) Rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment, net

Rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Depreciation is calculated based on the cost less the estimated residual value of the assets.

Aircraft spare engines have significant components with different useful lives; therefore, they are accounted for as separate items of spare engine parts (major components) (Note 12).

Pre-delivery payments refer to prepayments made to aircraft and engine manufacturers during the manufacturing stage of the aircraft. The borrowing costs related to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

Depreciation rates are as follows:

Schedule of depreciation rates |
| Annual depreciation rate
Flight equipment | 4.0-16.7%
Constructions and improvements | Remaining contractual lease term
Computer equipment | 25%
Workshop tools | 33.3%
Electric power equipment | 10%
Communications equipment | 10%
Workshop machinery and equipment | 10%
Motorized transport equipment platform | 25%
Service carts on board | 20%
Office furniture and equipment | 10%
Leasehold improvements to flight equipment | The shorter of: (i) remaining contractual lease term or (ii) the next major maintenance event (1)

(1) | The period is determined in accordance with usage.

The Company reviews annually the useful lives of these assets, and any changes are accounted for prospectively.

The Company identified one Cash Generating Unit (CGU), which includes the long-lived assets and the entire fleet, including right-of-use assets and flight equipment. The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that long-lived assets and the entire fleet, including right-of-use assets and flight equipment, are impaired in the CGU. The Company records impairment charges on rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment and right-of-use assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired or when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or related cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of (i) its fair value less cost to sell and (ii) its value in use.

The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, using projections of operating results for the near future, typically extending no more than five years. The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is sensitive to the uncertainties inherent in the preparation of projections and the discount rate used in the calculation.

m) Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of the parent company and its main subsidiaries. For each subsidiary, the Company determines the functional currency, and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (“the functional currency”).

F-24

The financial statements of foreign operations prepared under IFRS and denominated in their respective local currencies different from its functional currency are remeasured into their functional currency as follows:

| · | Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

| · | All monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the consolidated statement of financial reporting date.

| · | All non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

| · | Equity accounts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time the capital contributions were made and the profits were generated.

| · | Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the applicable period.

Any differences resulting from the remeasurement into the respective functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Assets and liabilities from foreign operations are converted from the functional currency to the presentation currency at the exchange rate on the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at each month during the year at the monthly average exchange rate.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation into the presentation currency are recognized in OCI. Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were US$(3,879), US$749 and US$3,471, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the most relevant exchange rates utilized in the conversions to US dollar are as follows:

Schedule of most relevant exchange rates utilized in the conversions to USD dollar |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022

n) Liabilities and provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

F-25

o) Employee benefits

i) Personnel vacations

The Company and its subsidiaries in Mexico and Central America recognize a reserve for the costs of paid absences, such as vacation time, based on the accrual method.

ii) Termination benefits

The Company recognizes a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates:

a) When it can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and

b) When it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and involves the payment of termination benefits.

The Company is demonstrably committed to a termination when, and only when, it has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no termination benefits provision has been recognized.

iii) Seniority premiums

In accordance with Mexican Labor Law, the Company provides seniority premium benefits to the employees who rendered services to its Mexican subsidiaries under certain circumstances. These benefits consist of a one-time payment equivalent to 12 days’ wages for each year of service (at the employee’s most recent salary, but not to exceed twice the legal minimum wage), payable to all employees with 15 or more years of service, as well as to certain employees terminated involuntarily prior to the vesting of their seniority premium benefit.

Obligations relating to seniority premiums, other than those arising from restructurings, are recognized based upon actuarial calculations and are determined using the projected unit credit method.

The latest actuarial computation was prepared as of December 31, 2024. Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability arising from actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in OCI. Such remeasurement gains and losses are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation using a discount rate based on government bonds, less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled.

For entities in Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador, there is no obligation to pay seniority premiums; these countries have Post-Employee Benefits.

F-26

iv) Incentives

The Company has a quarterly incentive plan for certain personnel whereby cash bonuses are awarded for meeting certain performance targets. These incentives are payable shortly after the end of each quarter and are accounted for as a short-term benefit under IAS 19, Employee Benefits. A provision is recognized based on the estimated amount of the incentive payment. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company expensed US$4,249 US$3,467 and US$2,992, respectively, as quarterly incentive bonuses, recorded under the caption salaries and benefits.

The Company has a short-term benefit plan for certain key personnel whereby cash bonuses are awarded when certain Company’s performance targets are met. These incentives are payable shortly after the end of each year and also are accounted for as a short-term benefit under IAS 19. A provision is recognized based on the estimated amount of the incentive payment (Note 7).

v) Long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) and long-term retention plan (“LTRP”)

The Company has adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). This plan consists of a share purchase plan (equity-settled) and a share appreciation rights “SARs” plan (cash-settled), and therefore accounted under IFRS 2 “Share based payment.”

The Company measures the cost of its equity-settled transactions at fair value at the date the equity benefits are conditionally granted to employees. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, together with a corresponding increase in treasury shares, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled.

During 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company approved and renewed the long-term retention plan (“LTRP”), which consisted of a purchase plan (equity-settled). This plan does not include cash compensations granted through appreciation rights on the Company’s shares. The retention plans granted in previous periods will continue in full force and effect until their respective due dates and the cash compensation derived from them will be settled according to the conditions established in each plan.

a) Share-based payments

LTIP

- Share purchase plan (equity-settled)

Certain key executives of the Company receive additional benefits through a share purchase plan denominated in Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment. The cost of the equity-settled share purchase plan is measured at grant date, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted. The equity-settled compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the required service period (Note 18).

b) SARs plan (share appreciation rights – cash-settled)

The Company granted SARs to key executives, which entitled them to a cash payment after a service period.

F-27

The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured, initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled, at the fair value of the SARs, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the required service period (Note 18).

The cost of the SARs plan is measured initially at fair value at the grant date, further details of which are given in Note 18. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. Similar to the equity-settled awards described above, the valuation of cash-settled award also requires using similar inputs, as appropriate.

Management incentive plan (“MIP”)

- MIP II

On February 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an extension to the MIP for certain key executives; this plan was named MIP II. In accordance with this plan, the Company granted SARs to key executives, which entitled them to a cash payment after a service period. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled at the fair value of the SARs, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the required service period (Note 18).

c) Board of Directors Incentive Plan (“BoDIP”)

Certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company receive additional benefits through a share-based plan, which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment and therefore accounted for under IFRS 2 “Share based payment.”

In April 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a Board of Directors Incentive Plan “BoDIP,” for the benefit of certain board members. The BoDIP grants options to acquire shares of the Company or CPOs during a five-year period, which was determined on the grant date. Under this plan, no service or performance conditions are required to the board members for exercise of the option to acquire shares, and therefore, they have the right to request the delivery of those shares at the time they pay for them.

In April 2023, the Company’s Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting modified the terms of the BoDIP so that, starting in 2023, certain members of the Board of Directors receive additional benefits through a stock-based plan.

vi) Employee profit-sharing

The Mexican Income Tax Law (“MITL”) establishes that the base for computing current-year employee profit-sharing shall be the taxpayer’s taxable income of the year for income tax purposes, including certain adjustments established in the Income Tax Law, at the rate of 10%. The Mexican Federal Labor Law (“MFLL”) establishes a limit for employee profit-sharing payment, up to three months of the employee’s current salary or the average employee profit-sharing received by the employee in the previous three years.

F-28

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the employee profit-sharing recognized as operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations was US$18,623, US$1,481 and US$136, respectively. Subsidiaries in Central America do not have such employee profit-sharing obligations, as it is not required by local regulations.

p) Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, that is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration.

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities for payments to be made under the lease term and the right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

| i. | Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

Components of the right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Summary of estimated useful lives of the assets |
Aircraft | up to 18 years
Spare engines | up to 18 years
Buildings leases | up to 10 years
Maintenance components | up to eight years

| ii. | Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets or is recorded in profit or loss if the Company purchased the underlying asset.

The short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

F-29

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairment charges recorded in relation to the right-of-use assets.

| iii. | Sale and leaseback

The Company enters into agreements whereby an aircraft or engine is sold to a lessor upon delivery and the lessor agrees to lease such aircraft or engine back to the Company.

The Company measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. Accordingly, the Company recognizes in the consolidated statements of operations only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. If the fair value of the consideration for the sale of an asset does not equal the fair value of the asset, or if the payments for the lease are not at market rates, then the Company adjusts the difference to measure the sale proceeds at fair value and accounts for any below-market terms as a prepayment of lease payments and any above-market terms as additional financing provided by the buyer-lessor to the seller-lessee.

First, the sale and leaseback transactions are analyzed within the scope of IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in order to verify whether the performance obligation has been satisfied and, therefore, are accounted for the sale of the asset. If this requirement is not met, then the transaction constitutes a failed sale and leaseback and is accounted for as financing transaction. If the requirements related to the performance obligation established in IFRS 15 are met, the Company measures an asset for right of use that arises from the sale transaction with subsequent lease in proportion to the book value of the asset related to the right-of-use assets retained by the Company. Consequently, only the gains or losses related to the rights transferred to the lessor-buyer are recognized.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company entered into 15 and 11 classified-as-failed sale and leaseback engines arrangements due to the presence of a substantive option allowing the Company to repurchase the engines at the end of the lease term.

q) Return obligations

The aircraft and engine lease agreements of the Company require specific return conditions, which are described as follows:

| a) | Modifications to the underlying asset to meet the return conditions stipulated in the lease agreement, typically related to aircraft standardization and painting, which can be reasonably estimated at the beginning of the lease agreement. These costs are initially recognized at present value as part of the right-of-use assets.

| b) | Aircraft components (airframe, APU and landing gears) and engines (overhaul and limited life parts) must be returned to lessors under specific conditions of maintenance. The costs of return, which in no case are related to scheduled major maintenance, are estimated and recognized ratably as a provision from the time it becomes likely such costs will be incurred and can be estimated reliably. These return costs are recognized as a component of variable lease expenses, and the provision is remeasured and included as part of other liabilities through the remaining lease term. The Company estimates the provision related to aircraft components and engines using certain assumptions, including the projected usage of the aircraft and the expected costs of maintenance tasks to be performed. This provision is made in relation to the present value of the expected future costs of meeting the return conditions (Note 14 and 16).

F-30

r) Other taxes and fees payable

The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and airports and to remit these to the applicable governmental entity or airport on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees include federal transportation taxes, federal security charges, airport passenger facility charges, and foreign arrival and departure fees. These charges are collected from customers at the time they purchase their tickets but are not included in passenger revenue. The Company records liability upon collection from the customer and discharges the liability when payments are remitted to the applicable governmental entity or airport.

s) Income taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted, or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry-forward of unused tax credits and any available tax losses. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and available tax losses can be utilized, except, in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The Company considers the following criteria in assessing the probability that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized: (a) whether the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, which will result in taxable amounts against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized before they expire; (b) whether it is probable that the Company will have taxable profits before the unused tax losses or unused tax credits expire; (c) whether the unused tax losses result from identifiable causes that are unlikely to recur; and (d) whether tax planning opportunities are available to the Company that will create taxable profit in the period in which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized.

F-31

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction in OCI.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Income taxes are computed based on tax laws approved in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

The IFRIC Interpretation 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment” addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12 Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12 “Income Taxes,” nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:

| · | Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately.

| · | The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities.

| · | How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.

| · | How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.

The Company determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.

The Company applies significant judgment in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Since the Company operates in a complex multinational environment, it continually assesses whether the interpretation has an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Upon adoption of the Interpretation, the Company has considered whether it has any uncertain tax positions, particularly those relating to transfer pricing. The Company’s and the subsidiaries’ tax filings in different jurisdictions include deductions related to transfer pricing, and the taxation authorities may challenge those tax treatments. The Company determined, based on its tax compliance and transfer pricing studies, that it is probable that its tax treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation authorities. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the IFRIC Interpretation 23 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

F-32

t) Derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Company mitigates certain financial risks, such as volatility in the price of jet fuel, adverse changes in interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

In accordance with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. At inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation of the hedging records includes the hedging strategy and objective, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risks being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk(s).

Only if such hedges are expected to be effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedge item(s) and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they have been effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated, hedge accounting treatment can be used.

Under the cash flow hedge (CFH) accounting model, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s changes in fair value is recognized in OCI, while the ineffective portion is recognized in current year earnings in the statement of operations. The cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item. The amounts recognized in OCI are transferred to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize an ineffective portion with respect to derivative financial instruments.

The realized gain or loss of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments that qualify as CFH are recorded in the same caption of the hedged item in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting for the time value of options

The Company accounts for the time value of options in accordance with IFRS 9, which requires all derivative financial instruments to be initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent measurement for options purchased and designated as CFH requires that the option’s changes in fair value be segregated into its intrinsic value (which will be considered the hedging instrument’s effective portion in OCI) and its correspondent changes in extrinsic value (time value and volatility). The extrinsic value changes will be considered as a cost of hedging (recognized in OCI in a separate component of equity) and accounted for in earnings when the hedged items also are recognized in earnings.

u) Financial instruments – Disclosures

IFRS 7 (“Financial Instruments – Disclosures”) requires a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement disclosures and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about the relative reliability of fair value measurements (Notes 4 and 5).

F-33

v) Treasury shares

The Company’s equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of treasury shares. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received, if reissued, is recognized in additional paid-in capital. Share-based payment options exercised during the reporting period were settled with treasury shares (Note 18).

w) Operating segments

Management of Controladora monitors the Company as a single business unit that provides air transportation and related services; accordingly it has only one operating segment.

The Company has two geographic areas identified as domestic (Mexico) and international (United States of America, Central America and South America) (Note 26).

x) Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: (i) expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, (ii) expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period or (iii) cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when: (i) it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle, (ii) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period or (iii) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

y) Impact of new International Financial Reporting Standards

New and amended standards and interpretations already effective

The Company applied for the first-time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and then must be applied retrospectively. The Company has not early adopted any other standard interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The nature and the effect of these changes are disclosed below:

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In 2020 and 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

| · | What is meant by a right to defer settlement.

| · | That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.

| · | That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.

| · | That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

F-34

In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within 12 months.

As of January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, these amendments did not impact the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Since the changes primarily aim to provide greater clarity on classification criteria of certain loan agreements with the right to defer settlement, and its disclosure requirements related to future covenants, the Company has not identified any loan agreements classified as non-current with the characteristics aforementioned; therefore, the Company is not required to present any further disclosures within the audited consolidated financial statements. Thus, there is no material impact on the presentation of liabilities in the current financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 to specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of IFRS 16. Earlier application is permitted, and that fact must be disclosed.

As of January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, these amendments did not have a material impact on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company on the subsequent measurement of the liability, due to the Company not having lease variable payments that are not dependent on a rate or index.

Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures,” to clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.

As of January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, these amendments did not impact the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, due to the fact that the Company did not enter into reverse factoring agreements/transactions (“supplier finance arrangements”), which means that the Company does not have to comply with any new disclosure requirements and does not have to alter the classification or presentation of liabilities and cash flows.

Standards, amendments issued but not yet effective

Lack of exchangeability - Amendments to IAS 21

In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows.

F-35

The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of these amendments, which it expects to adopt on the effective date.

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements not only for financial institutions but also for corporate entities. These amendments:

| a) | clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;

| b) | clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criteria;

| c) | add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some financial instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance targets); and

| d) | update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

The amendments in (b) are most relevant to financial institutions, but the amendments in (a), (c) and (d) are relevant to all entities.

The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early application permitted subject.

The Company is currently assessing the amendments, which it expects will not have impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new.

It also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified “roles” of the primary financial statements (PFS) and the notes.

In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows,” which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from “profit or loss” to “operating profit or loss” and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.

F-36

IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, but earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively.

The Company is currently assessing and identifying all the impacts that the amendments will have on the consolidated financial statements and notes.

IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures

In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19, which allows eligible entities to elect to apply its reduced disclosure requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS accounting standards. To be eligible, at the end of the reporting period, an entity must be a subsidiary as defined in IFRS 10, cannot have public accountability and must have a parent (ultimate or intermediate) that prepares consolidated financial statements, available for public use, that comply with IFRS accounting standards.

IFRS 19 will become effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted.

The Company is currently assessing the amendments, which it expects will not have impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Use of judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements provides a detailed discussion of the material accounting policies. Certain of the Company’s accounting policies reflect significant judgments, assumptions or estimates about matters that are both inherently uncertain and material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. (Note 1).

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

For leases, significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions, refer to Note 1q.

i) Return obligations

The aircraft lease agreements of the Company also require that the aircraft components (airframe, APU and landing gears) and engines (overhaul and limited life parts) be returned to lessors under specific conditions of maintenance. The costs of return, which in no case are related to scheduled major maintenance, are estimated and recognized ratably as a provision from the time it becomes likely such costs will be incurred and can be estimated reliably. These return costs are recognized on a straight-line basis as a component of variable lease expenses, and the provision is included as part of other liabilities through the remaining lease term. The Company estimates the provision related to aircraft components and engines using certain assumptions, including the projected usage of the aircraft and the expected costs of maintenance tasks to be performed. This provision is made in relation to the present value of the expected future costs of meeting the return conditions (Note 14 and 16).

F-37

ii) Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all available tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Management’s judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning opportunities to advance taxable profit before expiration of available tax losses.

Tax losses relate to operations of the Company on a stand-alone basis, in conformity with current Tax Law and may be carried forward against taxable income generated in the succeeding years at each country and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Company’s consolidated group (Note 20).

iii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values.

The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and expected volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments (Note 4).

iv) Impairment of long-lived assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets and right-of-use assets. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use.

In making these determinations, the Company uses certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, estimated, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by these assets, which are based on additional assumptions, such as asset utilization and length of service the asset will be used in the Company’s operations, excluding additions and extensions.

The Company’s assumptions about future conditions are important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets, are subject to uncertainty, and the Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available and will update its analyses accordingly.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company performed an impairment test on its only Cash Generating Unit (CGU), comprising the long-lived assets and the entire aircraft fleet, including right-of-use assets and flight equipment. The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on projections covering a five-year period. The determination of the recoverable amount considered a post-tax discount rate of 12.75% (pre-tax of 17.98%) and a long-term growth rate of 2.14%. It was concluded that the carrying amount of the CGU did not exceed its recoverable amount, based on the applied methodologies and assumptions, and therefore, no impairment charges were recorded.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company evaluated through an analysis if there were signs of impairment in its long-lived assets and right-of-use assets, and according to the result, it was concluded there were no signs of impairment.

F-38

v) Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in its leases; therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term and, with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company would have to pay, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available (such as for subsidiaries that do not enter into financing transactions) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary’s stand-alone credit rating).

vi) Consolidation of North Star Financing Limited

The Company does not hold any ownership interest in North Star Financing Limited. However, the Company assessed whether it has control over the entity based on the three elements of control defined in accordance with IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements.” Following this assessment, the Company determined that it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity. Additionally, the Company has the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity to those that most significantly affect its returns through its existing decision-making power.

3. Financial instruments and risk management

Financial risk management

The Company’s activities are exposed to different financial risks stemming from exogenous variables that are not under their control but whose effects might be potentially adverse such as: (i) market risk, (ii) credit risk and (iii) liquidity risk.

The Company’s global risk management program is focused on uncertainty in the financial markets and tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on net earnings and working capital requirements. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge part of such risks. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The sources of these financial risk exposures are included in both “on-balance sheet” exposures, such as recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well as in “off-balance sheet” contractual agreements and on highly expected forecasted transactions.

These on- and off-balance sheet exposures, depending on their profiles, do represent potential cash flow variability exposure, in terms of receiving less inflows or facing the need to meet outflows that are higher than expected, therefore increasing the working capital requirements.

Since adverse movements erode the value of recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well some other off-balance sheet financial exposures, there is a need for value preservation, by transforming the profiles of these fair value exposures. The Company has a Finance and Risk Management department, which identifies and measures financial risk exposures, in order to design strategies to mitigate or transform the profile of certain risk exposures, which are taken up to the corporate governance level for approval.

F-39

Market risk

a) Jet fuel price risk

Since the contractual agreements with jet fuel suppliers include reference to jet fuel index, the Company is exposed to fuel price risk, which might have an impact on the forecasted consumption volumes. The Company’s jet fuel risk management policy aims to provide the Company with protection against increases in jet fuel prices. In an effort to achieve the aforesaid, the risk management policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments available on over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets with approved counterparties and within approved limits. Aircraft jet fuel consumed in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 represented 33%, 38% and 46% of the Company’s operating expenses, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Aircraft jet fuel consumption recognized as operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations was US$893,987, US$1,165,078 and US$1,299,254, respectively.

In September 2024, the Company contracted Asian Call Options on U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 designated to hedge 25,832 thousand gallons. These hedges represented a portion of the projected consumption for the 4Q 2024 and 1Q 2025.

In October 2024, the Company contracted Asian Call Options on U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 designated to hedge 14,457 thousand gallons. These hedges represented a portion of the projected consumption for the 4Q 2024 and 1Q 2025. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge jet fuel.

In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company separates the intrinsic value from the extrinsic value of an option contract; as such, the change in the intrinsic value can be designated as hedge accounting. Because extrinsic value (time and volatility values) of the options is related to a “transaction-related hedged item,” it is required to be segregated and accounted for as a cost of hedging in OCI and accrued as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the related hedged item matures and therefore impacts profit and loss.

The underlying asset (U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54) of the options held by the Company during 2024 is a consumption asset (energy commodity), which is not in the Company’s inventory. Instead, it is directly consumed by the Company’s fleet at different airport terminals. Therefore, although a non-financial asset is involved, its initial recognition does not generate a book adjustment in the Company’s inventories.

Rather, it is initially accounted for in the Company’s OCI and a reclassification adjustment is made from OCI to profit and loss and recognized in the same period or periods in which the hedged item is expected to be allocated to profit and loss. Furthermore, when performing hedges, the Company hedges its forecasted jet fuel consumption month after month, which is consistent with the maturity date of the monthly serial Asian call options.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the intrinsic value of the Asian call options recycled to the fuel cost was an expense of US$1,317.

As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the outstanding U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Asian call options was US$431. The cost of hedging derived from the extrinsic value changes of the jet fuel hedged position given the out-of-the-money position as of December 31, 2024 recognized in other comprehensive loss was US$307.

F-40

The cost of hedging recycled to the fuel cost during 4Q 2024 and will recycle to the fuel cost during 1Q 2025, as these options expire on a monthly basis and the jet fuel is consumed. Contracted options for 4Q 2024 expired and the only outstanding are the ones for 1Q 2025.

Fuel Sensitivity

The sensitivity analysis provided below presents the impact of a change of US$0.01 per gallon in fuel market spot price in the Company’s financial performance. Considering these figures, an increase of US$0.01 per gallon in the fuel prices during 2024, 2023 and 2022 would have impacted the Company’s operating costs in US$3,227, US$3,719 and US$3,399, respectively.

- US$0.01 per gallon |  | (3,227 | ) |  | (3,719 | ) |  | (3,399 | )

The Company has been proactively trying to mitigate this impact over our business through revenue yielding and a continued effort towards a reduced fuel consumption. Nonetheless, our ability to pass on any significant increases in fuel costs through fare increases is also limited by our ultra-low-cost business model and market high elasticity to price.

b) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to transactional foreign currency risk due to potential mismatches between the currencies in which sales, expenses, receivables and borrowings are denominated, and the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for Controladora and its main subsidiaries. Transactions are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos, with minor transactions denominated in other currencies such as Quetzales, Colombian pesos and Colones.

Foreign currency risk arises from possible unfavorable movements in the exchange rate, which could have a negative impact in the Company’s cash flows. To mitigate this risk, the Company may use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

The summary of quantitative data about the Company’s exposure to currency risk as of December 31, 2024 is as set forth as shown in the next page.

At April 29, 2025, the exchange rate was $US1 per Ps. 19.5478.

In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which the Company initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Company determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not enter into foreign exchange rate derivatives financial instruments.

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of a reasonably possible change in Mexican peso exchange. The rate to U.S. dollar that would have occurred as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, with all other variables held constant. The movement in the pre-tax effect shown below represents the result of a change in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in Mexican peso. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rates for all other currencies is not material.

2023 |  | +5 | % |  | US$ | (8,788 | )
|  | -5 | % |  |  | 8,788 |

| c) | Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations and flight equipment lease agreements with floating interest rates.

The Company’s results are affected by fluctuations in certain benchmark market interest rates due to the impact that such changes may have on interest-bearing contractual agreements indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (“TIIE”).

In November 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the FCA-regulated and authorized administrator of LIBOR, announced that starting 2022, LIBOR will no longer be used to issue new loans and the last rates were published on June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all our U.S. dollar financing facilities at floating rate are referenced to SOFR (Note 5b).

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates and accounts for these instruments as an accounting hedge.

In most cases, when a derivative can be tailored within the terms and it perfectly matches cash flows of a leasing or financing agreement, it may be designated as a CFH and the effective portion of fair value variations are recorded in equity until the date the cash flow of the hedged lease payment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

In July 2019, the Irrevocable Trust number CIB/3249, whose trustor is the Company, entered into a cap to mitigate the risk due to interest rate increases on the CEBUR (VOLARCB19) coupon payments. The floating rate coupons’ reference to TIIE 28 was limited under the “cap” to 10% on the reference rate for the life of the CEBUR (VOLARCB19) and had the same amortization schedule.

The cap started on July 19, 2019, and the maturity date was June 20, 2024, consisting of 59 “caplets” with the same specifications as the CEBUR (VOLARCB19) coupons for reference rate determination, coupon term and fair value.

F-43

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the change that would have occurred in the fair value of the interest hedging instrument on the CEBUR (VOLARCB19) in 2023 as a result of a reasonably possible change in rates, keeping all other variables constant:

In addition, during November 2021, the Trust entered into a cap to mitigate the risk due to interest rate increases on the CEBUR (VOLARCB21L) coupon payments. The floating rate coupons reference to TIIE 28 are limited under the cap to 10% on the reference rate for the life of the CEBUR (VOLARCB21L) and have the same amortization schedule.

The cap started on November 3, 2021, and the maturity date is October 20, 2026, consisting of 59 “caplets” with the same specifications as the CEBUR (VOLARCB21L) coupons for reference rate determination, coupon term and fair value.

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the change that would have occurred in the fair value of the interest hedging instrument on the CEBUR (VOLARCB21L) in 2024 and 2023 as a result of a reasonably possible change in rates, keeping all other variables constant:

In October 2023, the Trust entered into a cap to mitigate the risk due to interest rate increases on the CEBUR (VOLARCB23) coupon payments. The floating rate coupons reference to TIIE 28 are limited under the cap to 13% on the reference rate for the life of the CEBUR (VOLARCB23) and have the same amortization schedule.

The cap started on October 20, 2023, and the maturity date is September 20, 2028, consisting of 59 “caplets” with the same specifications as the CEBUR (VOLARCB23) coupons for reference rate determination, coupon term and fair value.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s outstanding hedging contracts in the form of interest rate caps with notional amount of Ps.2.42 billion (US$119.2 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024) and Ps.3.16 billion (US$187.4 million based on an exchange rate of Ps. 16.89 to US$1 on December 31, 2023), respectively, had fair values of US$271 and US$1,683, respectively, and are presented as part of the financial assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized US$30 and US$(1,175), respectively, in other comprehensive income (loss) in relation to the interest rate caps.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the amortization of the intrinsic value of the cap was US$896, US$579 and US$161, respectively, recycled to the consolidated statements of operations as part of the finance cost. During 2024, 2023 and 2022, there was no ineffective portion resulting from these hedging instruments.

In August 2024, the Company entered into T-Locks agreements (Treasury Rate Locks) to mitigate the risk associated with floating rates indexed to lease agreements. The floating rate referenced to US5Y (United States 5Y Treasury Note) was locked for a notional of US$24,900 maturing in August 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a total of US$117 in other comprehensive loss.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any outstanding hedging contracts balances in the form of T-Locks.

Debt Sensitivity Analysis

The following sensitivity analysis considers the position exposed to variable interest rates.

The Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate of the Banco de Mexico (TIIE) 28 days decreased 125 basis points from 2023 to 2024, going from 11.50% to 10.25%, and increased 72 basis points from 2022 to 2023, going from 10.78% to 11.50%, respectively. The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) three months decreased 102 basis points from 2023 to 2024, going from 5.33% to 4.31%, and increased 73 basis points from 2023 to 2024, going from 4.60% to 5.33%, respectively, and SOFR one month decreased 102 basis points from 2023 to 2024, going from 5.35% to 4.33%, and increased 99 basis points from 2022 to 2023, going from 4.36% to 5.35%, respectively.

In addition to the reference rate changes, if the interest rate had changed on an annual average in the magnitude shown, the impact on the interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations would have been as shown on the next page.

Fixed-rate instruments

The Company account for some fixed-rate financial liabilities; therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company has insufficient funds to meet its obligations. Because of the cyclical nature of the business, the operations, and its investment and financing needs related to the acquisition of new aircraft and renewal of its fleet, the Company requires liquid funds to meet its obligations.

The Company manages its cash, cash equivalents and its financial assets, relating the term of investments with those of its obligations. Its policy is that the average term of its investments may not exceed the average term of its obligations. This cash and cash equivalents position is invested in highly liquid short-term instruments through financial entities.

The Company has future obligations related to maturities of bank borrowings, lease liabilities and derivative contracts. The Company’s exposure outside consolidated statements of financial position represents the future obligations related to aircraft purchase contracts. The Company concluded that it has a low concentration of risk since it has access to alternate sources of funding.

The Company has debts related to the Aircraft pre-delivery payments, which are settled with the reimbursement of the Aircraft pre-delivery payments when the sale and leaseback transaction is carried out (Note 25).

As of December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were US$907,981.

The next page presents the table of Company’s contractual principal payments required on its financial liabilities.

e) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that any counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily from trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments including financial instruments derivatives.

Financial instruments that expose the Company to credit risk involve mainly cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Credit risk on cash equivalents relates to amounts invested with financial institutions.

Credit risk on accounts receivable relates primarily to amounts receivable from the international credit card companies. The Company has a high receivable turnover, hence management believes credit risk is minimal due to the nature of its businesses, which have a large portion of their sales settled in credit cards.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties have a high credit rating assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Outstanding derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. However, the Company does not expect any of its counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The amount of such credit exposure is generally the unrealized gain, if any, in such contracts.

To manage credit risk, the Company selects counterparties based on credit assessments, limits overall exposure to any single counterparty and monitors the market position with each counterparty. The Company does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

F-47

As of December 31, 2024, the Company determined that its credit risk associated with outstanding derivative financial instruments is low, as it exclusively engages in such instruments with counterparties that have high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

f) Capital management

Management believes that the resources available to the Company are enough for its present requirements and will be sufficient to meet its anticipated requirements for capital expenditures and other cash requirements for the next fiscal year. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximize the shareholder’s value. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement, other than the legal reserve (Note 19).

As part of the management strategies related to acquisition of its aircraft (pre-delivery payments), the Company pays the associated short-term obligations by entering into sale-leaseback agreements, whereby an aircraft is sold to a lessor upon delivery (Note 5b).

4. Fair value measurements

The only financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value after initial recognition are the derivative financial instruments. Fair value is the price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

| (i) | In the principal market for the asset or liability; or

| (ii) | In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is assessed using the course of thought that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The assessment of a non-financial asset’s fair value considers the market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

| · | Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

| · | Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

| · | Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

F-48

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those for which carrying amounts are reasonable approximations of fair values:

With this second issuance, the total amount approved for the program had been reached.

The Trust Notes comply with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles 2020, administered by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA).

This offering will help the Company accomplish its long-term sustainable goals, among which is to reduce CO2 emissions by 35.42% in 2030.

A feature of the asset-backed trust notes is that they will pay an additional 25 basis points to the interest rate if the sustainability goals are not met. On September 20, 2023, the interest rate increased by 25 basis points, with the possibility of mitigating the additional rate if the targets are met for the next years.

The notes start amortizing at the end of the third year.

The asset-backed trust notes structure operates on specific rules and provides a DSCR “Debt Service Coverage Ratio,” which is computed by comparing the Mexican Peso collections over the previous six months to the next six months of debt service. In general, retention of funds does not exist if the ratio exceeds 2.5 times. Amortization on the asset-backed trust notes began in July of 2021 for the first issuance, for the second issuance began in November of 2023 and for the third issuance will begin in October 2026. In addition, early amortization applies if:

i) | The Debt Coverage Ratio is less than 1.75x on any of the determination dates;

ii) | An event of retention is not covered in a period of 90 consecutive days;

F-55

iii) | The debt service reserve account of any series maintains on deposit an amount less than the required balance of the debt service reserve account for a period that includes two or more consecutive payment methods;

iv) | Insolvency event of Concesionaria;

v) | The update of a new insolvency event in relation to the Concesionaria; and

vi) | Updating a new event of default.

In the event of default, the Trustee will refrain from delivering any amount that it would otherwise be required to deliver to Concesionaria and will dedicate such cash flow to amortize the principal of the trust notes (“CEBUR”).

The Company settled this short-term loan on January 5, 2023, as such any potential effects of the non-compliance were solved with the payment.

18. Share-based payments

LTRP

On November 6, 2014, the shareholders of the Company and the shareholders of its subsidiary Servicios Corporativos approved an amendment to the current LTRP for the benefit of certain key executives, based on the recommendations of the Board of Directors of the Company at its meetings held on July 24 and August 29, 2014. For such purposes, on November 10, 2014, an irrevocable Administrative Trust was created by Servicios Corporativos and the key executives. The new plan was restructured and named LTIP, which consists of a share purchase plan (equity-settled transaction) and SARs plan (cash-settled).

On October 18, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new long-term retention plan (“LTRP”) for certain executives of the Company, through which the beneficiaries of the plan will receive shares of the Company once the service conditions are met. This plan does not include cash compensations granted through appreciation rights on the Company’s shares. The retention plans granted in previous periods under LTRP will continue in full force and effect until their respective due dates and the cash compensation derived from them will be settled according to the conditions established in each plan.

a) LTIP

- Share purchase plan (equity-settled)

Under the share purchase plan (equity-settled), in November 2014, certain key executives of the Company were granted with a special bonus by an amount of Ps.10,831 (US$797 as of November 11, 2014 based on an exchange rate of Ps.13.58 to US$1), to be used to purchase Company’s shares. The plan consisted in:

| (i) | Servicios Corporativos, Controladora and Concesionaria granted a bonus to each key executive;

| (ii) | The bonus amount by Ps.7,059 (US$520 as of November 11, 2014 based on an exchange rate of Ps.13.58 to US$1), net of withheld taxes, was transferred on November 11, 2014, as per the written instructions of each key executive, to the Administrative Trust for the acquisition of Series A shares of the Company through an intermediary authorized by the Mexican Stock Exchange (“BMV”) based on the Administration Trust’s Technical Committee instructions;

| (iii) | Subject to specified terms and conditions set forth in the Administrative Trust, the acquired shares were in escrow under the Administrative Trust for its administration until the vesting period date for each key executive, date as of which the key executive can fully dispose of the shares and instruct as desired.

| (iv) | The share purchase plan provides that if the terms and conditions are not met by the vesting period date, then the shares would be sold in the BMV, and Servicios Corporativos, Controladora and Concesionaria would be entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale of shares.

| (v) | The key executives’ account balance will be tracked by the Administrative Trust. The Administrative Trust’s objectives are to acquire Series A shares on behalf of the key executives and to manage the shares granted to such key executives based on instructions set forth by the Technical Committee.

As the Administrative Trust is controlled and therefore consolidated by Controladora, shares purchased in the market and held within the Administrative Trust are presented for accounting purposes as treasury shares in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

F-74

In November 2024, 2023 and 2022, the extensions to the LTIP were approved by the Company’s shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors. The total cost of the extensions approved were US$5,821 (US$3,784 net of withheld taxes), US$5,708 (US$3,711 net of withheld taxes) and US$5,703 (US$3,707 net of withheld taxes), respectively. Under the terms of the incentive plan, certain key employees of the Company were granted a special bonus that was transferred to the Administrative Trust for the acquisition of Series A shares of the Company.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the number of shares into the Administrative Trust associated with the Company’s share purchase payment plans is as follows:

Schedule of share purchase payment plans |  |  |  |
|  | Number of Series A shares
Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 |  |  | 6,579,214 |
Purchased during the year |  |  | 5,847,018 |
Exercised/vested during the year |  |  | (2,932,479 | )
Forfeited during the year |  |  | (330,453 | )
Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 |  |  | 9,163,300 | (1)
Purchased during the year |  |  | 5,209,713 |
Exercised/vested during the year |  |  | (3,880,683 | )
Forfeited during the year |  |  | — |
Outstanding as of December 31, 2024 |  |  | 10,492,330 | (1)

(1) | These shares are presented as treasury shares in the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The vesting period of the shares granted under the Company’s share purchase plans is as follows:

Schedule of vesting period of shares granted |  |
Number of Series A shares |  | Vesting period
5,070,172 |  | November 2025
3,685,587 |  | November 2026
1,736,571 |  | November 2027
10,492,330 |  |

In accordance with IFRS 2, the share purchase plans are classified as equity-settled transactions on the grant date. This valuation is the result of multiplying the total number of Series A shares deposited in the Administrative Trust and the price per share, plus the balance in cash deposited in the Administrative Trust.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the compensation expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations amounted to US$6,309, US$6,048 and US$5,074, respectively.

During 2024, there were no forfeited shares. During 2023, some key employees left the Company; therefore, the vesting conditions were not fulfilled. In accordance with the terms of the plan, Servicios Corporativos is entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale of such shares; the number of forfeited shares as of December 31, 2023 was 330,453.

b) MIP

- MIP II

On February 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an extension to the MIP for certain key executives. Such extension was modified on November 6, 2016. Under MIP II, 13,536,960 share appreciation rights of our Series A shares were granted to be settled annually in cash in a period of five years in accordance with the established service conditions. In addition, a five-year extension to the period in which the employees can exercise MIP II once the SARs are vested was approved.

F-75

Fair value of the SARs is measured at each reporting period using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions granted to the employees. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in our share price between the grant date and the settlement date.

The carrying amount of the liability relating to the SARs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was US$146 and US$1,433, respectively. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits over the service period.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a benefit of US$1,131, US$119 and US$4,365, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended 2024, 2023 and 2022, SARs were not exercised.

The summary related to expense recognized for the Company’s retention plans during the years 2024, 2023 and 2022 is shown in the following table:

Schedule of retention plan (benefit) expenses |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Benefit arising from cash-settled share-based payments transactions |  | US$ | (1,131 | ) |  | US$ | (119 | ) |  | US$ | (4,365 | )
Expense arising from equity-settled share-based payments transactions |  |  | 6,309 |  |  |  | 6,048 |  |  |  | 5,074 |
Total expense arising from share-based payments transactions |  | US$ | 5,178 |  |  | US$ | 5,929 |  |  | US$ | 709 |

c) Board of Directors Incentive Plan (BoDIP)

Certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company receive additional benefits through a share-based plan, which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment and therefore accounted under IFRS 2 “Share-based payment.”

In April 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a Board of Directors Incentive Plan “BoDIP,” for the benefit of certain board members. The BoDIP grants options to acquire shares of the Company, or CPOs, during a five-year period with an exercise share price at Ps.0, Ps.0 and Ps. 33.80 for the years ended 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was determined on the grant date. Under this plan, no service or performance conditions are required for the board members to exercise the option to acquire shares, and therefore, they have the right to request the delivery of those shares at the time they pay for them.

F-76

For such purposes, on August 29, 2018, the Fideicomiso Irrevocable de Administración número CIB/3081 was created by Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación S.A.B de C.V as trustee and CIBanco, S.A., Institución de Banco Multiple as trustor. The number of shares held as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 available to be exercised is 3,388,251, 4,781,769 and 5,945,417, respectively, and are included in treasury shares.

During 2024, certain conditions were not met; therefore, the executives did not exercise the option to purchase the shares. In accordance with the terms of the plan, Controladora is entitled to receive the proceeds from the sale of these shares. The number of forfeited shares as of December 31, 2024 was 1,393,518.

In April 2023, the Company’s Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting modified the terms of the BoDIP. Effective as of 2023, certain members of the Board of Directors receive additional benefits through a stock-based plan, which will be administered by the LTIP Trust and that will be delivered to the beneficiaries once the established conditions are met. The number of shares held by the trustee as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 588,205 shares and 370,860 shares, respectively (and they are included as treasury shares). The total cost approved in 2024 and 2023 was US$651 (US$460 net of withheld taxes) and US$640 (US$452 net of withheld taxes), respectively.

F-77

All shares representing the Company’s capital stock, either Series A shares or Series B shares, grant the holders the same economic rights, and there are no preferences and/or restrictions attaching to any class of shares on the distribution of dividends and the repayment of capital. Holders of the Company’s Series A common stock and Series B common stock are entitled to dividends when, and if, declared by a shareholders’ resolution. The Company’s revolving line of credit with Santander and Bancomext limits the Company’s ability to declare and pay dividends if the Company fails to comply with the payment terms thereunder. Only Series A shares from the Company are listed.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not declare any dividends.

In accordance with the Mexican Corporations Act, the Company is required to allocate at least 5% of the net income of each year to increase the legal reserve. This practice must be continued until the legal reserve reaches 20% of capital stock. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s legal reserve was US$17,363, or 8.5%, respectively, of our capital stock.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not allocate any amount to the legal reserve fund. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s legal reserve has not reached 20% of its capital stock.

Any distribution of earnings in excess of the net tax profit account Cuenta de Utilidad Fiscal Neta (“CUFIN”) balance will be subject to corporate income tax, payable by the Company, at the enacted income tax rate at that time. A 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends distributions to individuals and foreign shareholders from earnings generated starting January 1, 2014. Dividends paid will be free of Income taxes if they come from the CUFIN. Dividends that exceed the CUFIN and the Cuenta de Utilidad Fiscal Reinvertida (“CUFINRE”) will cause a tax equivalent to 42.86%. Dividends paid that come from profits by the ISR will not be subject to any withholding or additional payment of taxes.

Shareholders may contribute certain amounts for future increases in capital stock, either in fixed or variable capital. Said contributions will be kept in a special account until the shareholders meeting authorizes an increase in the capital stock of the Company, at which time each shareholder will have a preferential right to subscribe and pay the increase with the contributions previously made. As it is not strictly regulated in Mexican law, the shareholders meeting may agree to return the contributions to the shareholders or even set a term in which the increase in the capital stock must be authorized. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a balance of US$0.1 and US$0.1, respectively.

a) Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS” or “LPS”) amounts are calculated by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS (LPS) amounts are calculated by dividing the earnings (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares, if any) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares (to the extent that their effect is dilutive).

F-78

The following table shows the calculations of the basic and diluted earnings income per share for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

20. Income tax

a) In accordance with the MITL, the Company and its Mexican subsidiaries are subject to income tax and each files its tax returns on an individual entity basis and the related tax results are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The income tax is computed taking into consideration the taxable and deductible effects of inflation, such as depreciation calculated on adjusted assets values. Taxable income is increased or reduced by the effects of inflation on certain monetary assets and liabilities through the annual inflation adjustment.

| (i) | Based on the approved law, corporate income tax current rate for 2024, 2023 and 2022 and thereafter is 30%.

| (ii) | The tax rules include limits in the deductions of the exempt compensation amounts of certain items, as follows: Wages and benefits paid to workers 47% of income paid to workers and in certain cases up to 53% (holiday bonus, savings fund, employee profit-sharing, seniority premiums) will be deductible for employers. As a result, certain wage and salary provisions have differences between tax and book values at year-end.

| (iii) | The MITL sets forth criteria and limits for applying some deductions, such as the deduction of payments which, in turn, are exempt income for workers, contributions for creating or increasing provisions for pension funds, contributions to the Mexican Institute of Social Security payable by the worker that are paid by the employer, as well as the possible non-deduction of payments made to related parties in the event of failing to meet certain requirements.

| (iv) | Taxable income for purposes of the employee profit-sharing is the same used for the Corporate Income Tax except for certain items.

| (v) | A 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends distributions to individuals and foreign shareholders from earnings generated starting January 1, 2014.

The income tax rates for 2024, 2023 and 2022 were in Guatemala 25%, Costa Rica 30% and El Salvador 30%.

F-79

b) For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company reported on a consolidated basis taxable income of US$299,332, US$59,984 and US$53,293, respectively, which was partially offset by tax losses from prior years.

In accordance with the MITL and Costa Rican Income Tax Law (“CRITL”), tax losses may be carried forward against taxable income generated in the succeeding 10 and three years, respectively. Carryforward tax losses are adjusted based on inflation.

In accordance with Guatemala Income Tax Law (“GITL”) and El Salvador Income Tax Law (“ESITL”), tax losses cannot be carried forward against taxable income generated.

Mexican income tax matters

For Mexican purposes, corporate income tax is computed on an accrued basis. MITL requires taxable profit to be determined by considering revenue net of tax deductions. Prior years’ tax losses can be utilized to offset current year taxable income. Income tax is determined by applying the 30% rate on the net amount after tax losses utilization. For tax purposes, income is considered taxable at the earlier of: (i) the time the revenue is collected, (ii) the service is provided or (iii) the time of the issuance of the invoice. Expenses are deductible for tax purposes generally on an accrual basis, with some exceptions, once the requirements established in the tax law are fulfilled.

Central America (Guatemala, Costa Rica and El Salvador)

According to “GITL,” under the regime on profits from business activities, net operating losses cannot offset taxable income in prior or future years. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our subsidiary in Guatemala generated tax profit (loss) of US$966, US$623 and US$(10), respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our subsidiary in Costa Rica generated net operating profit (loss) for an amount of US$558, US$(9,503) and US$3,869, respectively.
