MEXICO CITY, March 25, 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, announced today a nonstop
flight to New York's John F.
Kennedy International Airport from
Guadalajara, starting July 15, 2015.
Volaris continues to consolidate international expansion
efforts, with new service that allows Mexicans particularly
Jalisco residents, to visit family
and friends living in one of the most cosmopolitan cities in
the United States and the
headquarters of major industries and businesses, the largest
regional economy in the United
States and the world's second largest urban economy.
"Just as Frank Sinatra said in
his most famous song, we want our customers to live the experience
of the city that never sleeps, which is why we are so excited to
now offer this new nonstop flight consolidating our position as the
Mexican carrier with the widest route network," stated Enrique Beltranena, Volaris Chief Executive
Officer. "There's no better way to achieve this than with service
connecting Mexico's Perla
Tapatia with The Big Apple."
"We can't say enough of a city with such a high tourism profile
that is sure to delight our Guadalajara customer base, from its beautiful
high-rises, Broadway productions, and museums, to its amazing
parks, wide array of stores, and everything else the city has to
offer tourists. Let's not forget a visit to New York City isn't complete without a tour of
the Statue of Liberty, and this can all be achieved with our clean
and clear fares, on board one of the youngest fleets in the
Americas," Beltranena added.
Volaris has consolidated as the carrier with the greatest
international connectivity from Guadalajara, where it now operates 20
international and 18 domestic flights, and to date has transported
16 million passengers, a number on the rise as a result of
significant growth achieved by the carrier out of this city in
2014.
