Mexico’s Volaris said it will take a proactive approach to capacity management and fare adjustments as it navigates local currency depreciation and weaker cross-border demand.
In its February traffic report, the ultra-low-cost carrier said that passenger loads remained robust across both domestic and cross-border markets, despite softer demand for US bound travel.
During February, Volaris saw a 4.9% increase in passenger numbers, carrying 2.2 million passengers during the month. In total, 1.64 million of these passengers were carried on domestic routes within Mexico and 583,000 were on international routes.
Volaris’ capacity measured in available seat miles (ASMs) increased by 3.4% in comparison to February 2024, while traffic measured in revenue passenger miles (RPMs) grew by 2.5%. Mexican domestic RPMs increased 3.6%, while international RPMs rose slightly by 0.7%. The airline's average passenger load factor totalled 85.2% for the month.
The airline stated it will closely monitor forward booking patterns and will continuously adjust capacity to match demand.
