Our History

Concesionaria Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.P.I. de C.V., better known as Volaris, is an ultra low-cost airline with flights throughout Mexico, the US, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Volaris offers low-cost airline tickets to develop the market, offering Customers high-quality service and a wide range of products.

We launched in 2003 when the Discovery Americas I and Columbia Equity Partners investment funds joined forces with TACA Airlines to create a new ultra low-cost Mexican airline that would offer the opportunity to fly to a greater number of Mexicans.

We took to the skies for the first time on March 13, 2006, with the inaugural Toluca-Tijuana flight. On July 12 of the same year, the World Bank, through its financial arm in Latin America, granted us $40 million in funding bringing our total investment up to $130 million.

Our current ownership structure is made up of a diverse group of both Mexican and international partners in addition to a public portion, where our affiliate Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. is listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) under ticker symbol "VOLAR" and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under ticker symbol "VLRS".
