DFW AIRPORT, Texas,
July 15, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- Volaris has launched new flight service from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport
to Monterrey, Nuevo León,
Mexico. Volaris, a popular
Mexican low cost airline, will fly the route twice a week from
DFW's International Terminal D utilizing Airbus A320 aircraft.
"Mexico is DFW Airport's largest international market, so
we are certainly pleased to see Volaris expanding its service
offerings here. In the last 12 months, more than 1.8 million people
traveled to Mexico from DFW," said
John Ackerman, Executive Vice
President for Global Strategy and Development for DFW. "In
addition, Mexico is Texas' top trade partner with $178 billion in trade last year. The Dallas Fort Worth region has strong business
ties to Mexico as well, with more
than 20 major Mexican businesses operating in the metroplex.
For these reasons and more, we anticipate that Volaris will
continue to grow, provide great service, and excellent options to
our customers at DFW."
"This route is a testament to our efforts to connect family and
friends in both countries – building a network of point-to-point
routes to make traveling between Mexico and the U.S. faster and more efficient.
With this new route, Volaris´ route portfolio from Monterrey increases to 20 routes," said Miguel
Aguiñiga, Senior Sales Manager, Volaris. "Volaris continues to grow
and we are proud to offer a connection from Monterrey, a route that definitely allows
everyone to fly with the best rates and higher transfer options
point-to-point."
Volaris entered the DFW market in 2015 with three weekly flights
to Guadalajara. The new Volaris service to Monterrey gives DFW
Airport customers more options to fly to Mexico, which represents about 35% of
DFW Airport's total international
traffic.
Volaris currently serves over 60 destinations in Mexico, the United
States and Central America.
The carrier features the youngest fleet of any airline in
Mexico with an average aircraft
age of 4.6 years among its 56 Airbus aircraft.
