Volaris Airlines: A New Airline For Mexico
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Volaris Airlines: A New Airline For Mexico" talks about aviation, it was released by Matthew Keegan.
Mexico is getting a new airilne and if the carrier meets all expectations it will go a long way in helping Mexican air traffic double over just the next three years.
Volaris Airlines, statred by Mexican billionaires Carlos Slim and Emilio Azcarraga, is expecting to take its first flight on March 13th. Volaris may impact the airline industry well beyond Mexico especially if its aggressive expansion plans work out.With the Mexican government in the process of divesting its interest in two airlines, Aero Mexico and Mexicana Airlines, start up carriers are poised to jump in and provide service as fares drop and demand surges.
Up to now, the highly controlled Mexican airline industry has put a damper on customer demand as artificially high prices and a resrticted market have kept customers away. Volaris Airlines, along with competing start up airline, Interjet, are expected to quickly reshape the Mexican airline industry beginning this year.Volaris is planning to serve at least six Mexican cities and eventually provide service between Mexican and U.S. destinations. No word how all of this will impact wannabe strat up Mexus Airlines, currently operating as a “paper carrier” with no concrete plans [or funding] to start flying.Volaris plans on flying 16 A319 aircraft and has an option on 40 A320 aircraft. TACA International Airlines, based in El Salvador, will hold a minority stake in the airline.Source: Houston Chronicle, January 13, 2006Copyright 2006 -- Matthew Keegan is the owner of a successful article writing, web design, and marketing business based in North Carolina, USA.
