MEXICO CITY, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Volaris (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR), the ultra low cost Mexican airline with the most extensive route network servicing Mexico and the US, today consolidates their presence in the Texan marketplace with the introduction of new international service connecting Guadalajara, Jalisco with Dallas, Texas, effective April 29.

The announcement underscores the airline’s position as the Mexican carrier with the highest total of routes in Mexico and the US, now offering 138 routes to 59 destinations, of which 21 are international flights and 38 domestic. In addition, Volaris reports transporting over 49 million passengers since it was inaugurated. Of these, 7 million have been to US cities, and this number continues on the rise as a result of an average 230 daily operations.

The carrier’s Chief Commercial Officer, Holger Blankenstein, spoke of the importance of entering the Dallas market, “We are extremely excited to forge ahead with our expansion into the US via its most important cities, and that is the case of Dallas- Fort Worth, through its major cities such as Dallas and Fort Worth, region where now we give connectivity to all Mexicans who visit family and friends in Mexico with clean fares.”

“Furthermore, our Customers in Mexico’s Perla Tapatia, as Guadalajara is commonly referred to locally, also benefit greatly from the extensive connectivity to visit family and friends on both sides of the border, especially given that we operate the largest destination offering from this city – to 20 international and 18 domestic destinations, averaging 525 flights per week,” Blankenstein concluded.

“Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport welcomes Volaris as our newest airline partner,” said John Ackerman, Executive Vice President of Global Strategy and Development at Dallas- Fort Worth International Airport.
