Mexico's leading low-fare air carrier -- Volaris Airlines -- today celebrates the launch of its first international service at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with daily non-stop service to Toluca and Guadalajara, Mexico with flights operating from Terminal 2. Using a modern fleet of Airbus A320s, Volaris offers air travelers an On-Time and Baggage policy, more service options and value for travel to Mexico.
"Volaris' service at LAX is an acknowledgment of our efforts to modernize our airport and our decades-long commitment to sustainable design and service," said Michael Molina, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), Senior Director of External Affairs. "We are thrilled to welcome Volaris to LAX, one of America's premier airports and the sixth busiest airport in the world."
Since its inception three years ago, Volaris has transported more than 8 million customers to 21 cities in Mexico and has received awards for its high customer satisfaction and on-board services.
"Los Angeles represents one of the most attractive U.S. destinations for Mexicans traveling for business or leisure purposes, or to visit family and friends," said Enrique Beltranena, Volaris' Managing Director. "We are certain that now that our outstanding service, on-time guarantees, and affordable prices have opened up in Los Angeles, we will be favored by customers."
The Volaris aircraft average only 2.5 years old and feature leading edge technology, leather seats, in-flight entertainment on all flights, and wide legroom. Volaris' On-Time and Baggage policy guarantees a passenger's money back if a flight is delayed 30 minutes or if baggage fails to arrive at the destination.
