Mexican ULCC Volaris has strengthened its US network with the launch of a fifth route to Oakland International (OAK).
The airline will connect the Californian airport with Mérida’s Manuel Crescencio Rejón International (MID) 4X-weekly, operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays using Airbus A320 aircraft.
Volaris is currently the only carrier to offer nonstop service between OAK and Mexico. In addition to MID, the ULCC also serves the Bay Area airport from Guadalajara (GDL) 10X-weekly, Mexico City Juarez (MEX) and Morelia (MLM) 4X-weekly, and Leon/Guanajuato (BJX) 3X-weekly.
Volaris director of market development and distribution Miguel Aguiñiga said the new route reinforces the airline’s “commitment to continue strengthening the visitors, friends and family market, by bringing people together on both sides of the border.”
