Volaris Reports December 2025 TrafficResults:Load Factor of 84%
Mexico City, Mexico, January 8, 2026 – Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR) (“Volaris” or “the Company”), the ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) serving Mexico, the United States, Central and South America, reports its December 2025 preliminary traffic results.
In December, Volaris’ ASM capacity increased 9.5%, while RPMs for the month grew 5.1%. Mexican domestic RPMs increased 1.3%, while international RPMs rose 10.7%. Consolidated load factor decreased by 3.5 percentage points year-over-year to 84.1%. During the month, Volaris transported 3.0 million passengers.
EnriqueBeltranena, Volaris’ President and CEO, said: “In December, demand in our markets reflected a return to historical seasonality and the ongoing recovery in our cross-border VFR market. In the domestic market, we flew fewer ASMs than planned due to prolonged severe weather at our key origin airport in Tijuana and resulting impacts across our network. Notwithstanding these disruptions, we begin 2026 well-positioned, focused on flexibility, execution, and value for our passengers.”
