(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 June 2025 preliminary traffic results.
In June, Volaris' ASM capacity increased 0.6%, while RPMs for the month decreased 1.4%. Mexican domestic RPMs declined 2.0%, while international RPMs decreased 0.4%. As a result, the load factor decreased by 1.7 percentage points year-over-year to 83.9%. During the month, Volaris transported 2.4 million passengers.
Enrique Beltranena, Volaris' President and CEO, said: "Volaris' capacity growth continues to align with our guidance, and it appears industry-wide capacity growth in Mexico remains aligned with current passenger demand patterns. Domestic load factors remain robust, reflecting ongoing strong demand. In the U.S market, we navigated evolving immigration policies during the month, and we are pleased that transborder demand proved resilient. Our results demonstrate our ability to optimize close-in fares to maximize unit revenue. As we move into the peak season, we anticipate sequential improvement in demand and are actively preparing for stronger summer traffic."
