Industrials

Provides point-to-point passenger, cargo and mail transport across Mexico and the Americas. Its unbundled fares, v.club memberships and Volaris INVEX co-branded card complement an ultra-low-cost model built on an all-Airbus operating platform.

Operates point-to-point scheduled passenger services across Mexico, the United States, Central America and South America, alongside cargo and mail transport through its airline subsidiary. Its unbundled Tú Decides fares are complemented by v.club memberships and the Volaris INVEX co-branded card.

An all-Airbus operating platform supports the ultra-low-cost model and its point-to-point network. Keeping costs low sits alongside safety and customer service as stated operating pillars.

A collective bargaining agreement covers most of the workforce, making labor terms a continuing operating dependency. The model depends on maintaining low costs across its all-Airbus platform and unbundled fare structure.
