Mexican ultra-low-cost carrier Volaris carried 2.6 million passengers during the month of April, representing an increase of 14.8% on same month of the year prior.
The airline reported a 16.9% increase in available seat miles (ASMs) for the month, when compared to figures for the previous year. Revenue passenger miles (RPMs) rose 12.7%, with domestic RPMs in Mexico growing by 12.9%, and international RPMs up by 12.2%.
“April figures reflect one of the most complex months to forecast capacity, given the macro volatility," said Enrique Beltranena, Volaris’ president and CEO. “Looking ahead, we continue to cautiously modulate growth, grounded in two guiding priorities: customer demand and sustained profitability,”
The airline’s average load factor declined by 3.1 percentage points compared to the previous year, averaging at 81.6%.
