en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mexican low-cost carrier Volaris launched ten new routes to the United States within two days in early June. Five of these routes commenced the previous day, while the remaining five began operations on the same day. The airline is leveraging the upcoming World Cup summer to boost capacity between Mexico and the U.S.

Notably, none of these ten new routes originate from Mexico City. Volaris is focusing its growth on operating bases away from the capital, with these routes starting from four different smaller cities. According to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium, multiple routes have confirmed their flight schedules for this month.

Among the five routes launched the previous day, two depart from Guadalajara (GDL) to Detroit (DTW) and Salt Lake City (SLC), each operating 13 flights this month, equivalent to three times per week. Puebla (PBC) also saw a new route launched, with four weekly flights to Los Angeles (LAX).

The other two new routes depart from Querétaro (QRO) to Houston (IAH) and Orlando (MCO). The former operates three times weekly, while the latter operates twice weekly. Volaris President and CEO Enrique Beltranena stated in May that U.S. routes remain a priority for the company. Amid high global aviation fuel prices, the airline implemented targeted capacity reductions in April, primarily in the domestic market, while prioritizing higher-yield cross-border routes.

Among the five new routes launched on the same day, Querétaro accounts for two more, both serving Texas airports: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and San Antonio (SAT). Both routes maintain a frequency of three flights per direction per week, with a total of 13 round trips planned for June 2026.

Puebla's Hermanos Serdán International Airport also added two more U.S. routes on the same day, flying to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in New Jersey and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas. The Newark route operates four times weekly, matching the frequency of the Puebla to Los Angeles route, while the Houston route operates three times weekly.

The fifth new route of the day, and the tenth overall in the two-day period in early June, originates from San Luis Potosí (SLP). The airline began operating flights to Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) from this city, with four weekly flights, exceeding the existing frequency of three weekly flights on its other U.S. routes from San Luis Potosí.

Due to the large scale of the U.S. commercial aviation industry and its proximity to Mexico, the U.S. has become a key international market for this low-cost carrier. Cirium's June 2026 scheduling data shows that the airline has arranged 360 flights to the U.S. this month, averaging 12 per day. The extended Airbus A321-200 will operate 162 of these flights, the next-generation A321neo will operate 103, the smaller A320neo will operate 65, and the remaining 30 flights will be operated by the older A320-200.
