- Volaris unveils the aircraft at a
major event at Lic. Adolfo Lopez Mateos International Airport in
Toluca, State of Mexico.
- With this acquisition Volaris
strengthens its fleet – one of the youngest in America - with an
aircraft is estimated to save more than 15 percent in
fuel.
Volaris (NYSE: VLRS) and (BMV: VOLAR), the ultra low-cost
Mexican airline which operates in Mexico, United States and Central
America, unveiled its first A320neo Airbus aircraft at the Lic.
Adolfo López Mateos International Airport in Toluca. This
acquisition makes use of the latest technology to its fleet, now
integrated by 64 aircraft to serve its customers. This A320neo
aircraft is the first of 46 (including A320’s and A321’s) that the
airline will receive in the coming years.
Volaris is the first airline in Mexico and North America to
receive this Airbus model, which belongs to the latest generation
of single-aisle cabin aircrafts with 186 seats. The A320neo
incorporates a new engine option, along with "Sharklets" - 7.8 feet
high aerodynamic devices located on the wings - and an optimized
passenger cabin, thus generating a greater efficiency in fuel
economy.
The A320neo aircraft helps reduce the carbon footprint of its
flights by reducing the annual consumption by more than 15 percent
fuel saved per seat, of which 12 percent is reduced by the engine,
3 percent by the Sharklets and an additional percent by the
aircraft seating configuration. This involves reducing five
thousand tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per aircraft a year, 50
percent fewer emissions nitrogen oxides (NOx) as well as a
considerable reduction in the acoustic fingerprint.
“At Volaris we have always been committed to the future of
aviation. We are extremely excited to incorporate to our fleet this
new aircraft from the Airbus family with Pratt & Whitney
engines, two of our largest and most important allies in the
industry. This is the future of aviation! Where we incorporate the
most advanced technology to reach a more sustainable industry,"
said Enrique Beltranena, Volaris CEO.
"Airbus is proud to deliver the first A320neo in Mexico and
North America to Volaris, a loyal customer for 10 years," said
Rafael Alonso, President of Airbus Latin America and Caribbean
Region. "Mexico's strong economic expansion offers a unique
opportunity to national airlines - as Volaris - to keep growing and
ensuring, at the same time, environmental sustainability with the
A320neo as a key player for Volaris success."
“We want to congratulate Volaris, Airbus and AerCap on today’s
milestone in Latin America. We have a long history together and we
look forward to continuing to be part of this global team,” said
Rick Deurloo, Senior Vice President, Commercial Engines, Sales,
Marketing, and Customer Service.
AerCap President and Chief Commercial Officer Philip Scruggs
said, “We are delighted to deliver our first A320neo aircraft on
lease to longstanding customer, Volaris and particularly pleased to
be the first to deliver the aircraft type to a carrier in North
America. The A320neo aircraft is one of the most in-demand single
aisle aircraft in the world, incorporating the latest technologies
and the most fuel efficient engines. We look forward to continuing
our successful relationship with our friends and partners at
Volaris as the airline continues to expand its presence on the
continent.”
Volaris, a socially responsible company, is benefiting from the
previously mentioned technical features. Which complement other
company campaigns like "Cielito Limpio" which means “Clean Skies”
in Spanish. This campaign allows Volaris customers to support
projects carried out throughout all Mexico to combat global
warming, all in collaboration with the Mexican Carbon Platform
MEXICO2.
This first aircraft will fly two key routes for the airline
departing from Mexico City. The first bound to Cancun, Quintana Roo
and the second to the city of Tijuana in Baja California. The
remaining aircrafts will be distributed throughout the Volaris
network.
Volaris keeps improving the services we offer our customers. The
close relationship we have with Airbus and Pratt & Whitney is
crucial to this task and also to fulfill our development plans.
Undoubtedly together we will achieve many more milestones.
