MEXICO CITY—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Volaris* (NYSE:VLRS and BMV:VOLAR), the ultra-low-cost airline serving Mexico, the United States and Central America, reports July 2015 and year-to-date preliminary traffic results.

During the month of July 2015, Volaris increased total capacity, as measured in Available Seat Miles (ASMs), by 17.4% year over year, primarily by way of fleet up gauging and through high aircraft utilization.

Volaris’ total demand for July measured in Revenue Passenger Miles (RPMs) increased 17.3% year over year, reaching 1.2 billion.

During July 2015, Volaris started to operate one seasonal domestic route (Acapulco – Toluca) and two year-round international routes (Cancun – San Juan, Puerto Rico and Guadalajara – New York (JFK)).
