Volaris Reports September 2024 Traffic Results: 85% Load Factor

Mexico City, Mexico, October 3, 2024 – 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 September 2024 preliminary traffic results.

In September 2024, Volaris' ASM capacity decreased by 12.8% year-over-year due to the accelerated Pratt & Whitney engine inspections and the resulting aircraft groundings. Volaris transported 2.3 million passengers during the month at a load factor of 85.0%, a 1.2 pp increase compared to last year. RPMs for the month decreased by 11.5%, with Mexican domestic RPMs down by 18.5%, while international RPMs increased 2.1%.

Enrique Beltranena, Volaris’ President and CEO said: "Volaris finished the third quarter with strong demand in both domestic and international markets. As we enter the final quarter of the year, we will have more normalized comparables, considering the timing of the accelerated engine inspections and the recovery of Cat 1 in the fourth quarter of 2023. The engine inspections’ process has evolved according to our forecast, and the Company continues to perform in line with our expectations.”
