| | Volaris is an equal partnership between Inbursa, Protego-Discovery, TACA and Grupo Televisa. |
Volaris, a Mexican low fares airline based in Toluca, close to Mexico City, has received the first two Airbus A319 directly ordered from Airbus.
In January 2006, the new Mexican start-up airline signed a contract with Airbus for the acquisition of 16 new A319s with options for up to 40 additional A320 Family aircraft.
Volaris started operating on March 13th, 2006, and currently operates four A319s.
Volaris' new A319s will carry 144 passengers in a comfortable single class configuration and will be equipped with IAE engines.
The aircraft will also be put into service on Volaris' network, increasing frequencies from its Toluca hub (Mexico City's secondary airport) and opening new destinations within Mexico.
Volaris is an equal partnership between Inbursa (a Mexican financial institution), Protego-Discovery (an investment fund), TACA (a leading Latin-American airline) and Grupo Televisa (a Latin-American media conglomerate). |
