Volaris Announces Launch of Low-Cost, Nonstop Service Between OAK and Both Toluca and Guadalajara, Mexico

***REVISED***

Volaris Airlines, headquartered in Santa Fe, Mexico D.F., has announced plans to begin low-cost, nonstop flights between Oakland International Airport (OAK) and both Toluca and Guadalajara, Mexico, beginning July 16, 2009.

Toluca International Airport is located 45 minutes from Mexico City. Guadalajara is a popular destination with Mexican nationals visiting friends and relatives, as well as those doing business in this growing high-tech arena.

"We are pleased that Volaris selected Oakland International Airport, after evaluating more than a dozen airports nationwide, for their U.S. launch. The two daily nonstop flights, which represent a $50 million aircraft investment in Oakland, are an important vote of confidence for the San Francisco Bay Area," said Steve Grossman, director of aviation for the Port of Oakland, which owns and operates OAK. "Volaris is taking the right step in what will prove to be a bright future for the airline here at Oakland and in the U.S." Volaris and Southwest Airlines have announced their intention to enter a codeshare agreement beginning in spring 2010. The airlines are creating a business partnership that will enable their customers to travel between a variety of destinations in both the U.S. and Mexico. Travelers can look forward to convenient connecting flights on both Volaris and Southwest, as well as purchase tickets on each others websites.

Today's announcement by Volaris officials occurred at the Acapulco Tourism Marketplace Tianguis Turístico de Acapulco, the premier trade show in Mexico for tourism professionals, organized annually by the Mexican Ministry of Tourism and Mexican Tourism Board. Volaris' Oakland flights are now on sale at www.volaris.com.mx.
