Travelore News: Volaris Launches 33 New Flights, Deepening Mexico-US Connectivity Ahead Of The World Cup

Low-cost Mexican airline Volaris has announced a significant network expansion with 33 new routes, set to begin operating in June 2026. This massive expansion aims to boost tourism and business connectivity across North America, timed perfectly with the build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The new network includes 11 international routes connecting to the United States and 22 domestic routes within Mexico. The new flights introduce services to four new airports, including Detroit (DTW) and Salt Lake City (SLC) in the U.S., and Saltillo (SLW) and Reynosa (REX) in Mexico. Key hubs like Guadalajara (GDL), Puebla (PBC), Querétaro (QRO), and San Luis Potosí (SLP) will see increased connectivity, particularly strengthening access to Texas markets such as Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio.

With matches scheduled in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, efficient transportation for fans is crucial. This expansion strengthens regional airports and provides travelers with direct, affordable options to reach these host cities and other destinations, with an estimated 5 million travelers expected in Mexico for the tournament. Cancún is already uniquely positioned as the only airport in Mexico with direct flights to all 16 World Cup host cities, a status further solidified by industry-wide growth.

The new routes are now on sale and scheduled to start in the first week of June 2026.
