Insights

Volaris shows mixed July traffic results with stable passenger growth but declining load factors, while strategically focusing on yield over capacity utilization.

Volaris' July 2025 traffic report reveals a nuanced operational picture with several key developments. The airline increased capacity (ASMs) by 6.0% year-over-year while passenger traffic (RPMs) remained essentially flat, growing just 0.1%. This divergence resulted in a 5.0 percentage point drop in load factor to 84.9%.

Breaking down the numbers, we see significant regional variations in performance. Domestic Mexican RPMs declined slightly by 0.4%, yet domestic load factor remained robust at 90.1% despite a minimal capacity increase of 0.7%. This indicates healthy demand fundamentals in Volaris' home market.

The international segment presents a different story. While international RPMs grew by 1.0%, Volaris dramatically expanded international capacity by 14.1%. This tactical capacity expansion resulted in international load factor dropping 10.1 percentage points to 77.7%.

What's particularly telling is management's strategic prioritization of yield and ancillary revenue over load factor. This suggests Volaris is focusing on revenue quality rather than simply filling seats at any price. The company transported 2.8 million passengers during July, representing 3.0% growth despite the flat RPM performance.

Year-to-date metrics show more balanced growth, with RPMs up 3.9% against capacity growth of 7.3%, resulting in a more modest load factor decline of 2.8 percentage points to 84.0%. The CEO's comments about being on track to meet quarterly guidance suggest this performance aligns with internal expectations.

The focus on yield management coupled with targeted capacity additions in the U.S. and Central America indicates Volaris is executing a deliberate strategy to optimize profitability during what appears to be an industry-wide rationalization of capacity to match current demand patterns.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR) (“Volaris� or “the Company�), the ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) serving Mexico, the United States, Central and South America, reports its July 2025 preliminary traffic results.

In July, Volaris� ASM capacity increased 6.0%, while RPMs for the month remained essentialy flat. Mexican domestic RPMs declined 0.4%, while international RPMs increased 1.0%. Consolidated load factor decreased by 5.0 percentage points year-over-year to 84.9%. During the month, Volaris transported 2.8 million passengers.

Enrique Beltranena, Volaris� President and CEO, said: “The third quarter is performing in line with our expectations, and we are on track to meet our quarterly guidance. In July, our domestic network delivered a strong load factor, underscoring steady demand across Mexico. International load factor declined year-over-year, as expected, driven by our tactical focus on prioritizing yields and ancillary revenues. This result also reflects year-over-year ASM restoration, including the recent addition of capacity in July, which will continue maturing throughout the second half of the year in both the U.S. and Central America. The market continues to gradually stabilize, with reduced industry capacity aligned with current passenger demand patterns.�
