In July 2024, Volaris' ASM capacity decreased by 15.0% year-over-year due to the accelerated Pratt & Whitney engine inspections and the resulting aircraft groundings. Load factor in the month increased by 2.0 pp YoY to 89.8%, as RPMs decreased by 13.0%. Mexican domestic RPMs decreased by 20.0%, while international RPMs increased by 1.0%. Volaris transported 2.7 million passengers during the month.
Enrique Beltranena, Volaris’ President and CEO said: “Our strategic fleet mitigation plan is on track and continues to deliver favourable outcomes; we have achieved our goals since the engine inspections began. We currently have a well-balanced market mix, with an increased presence in the cross-border market, that is strengthening our unit revenues. As shown with our July traffic, our booking curves similarly indicate robust performance for the summer high season.”
