Mexican low-cost airline Volaris and Spanish airline Iberia signed a codeshare agreement to expand air connectivity between Spain and Mexico. This agreement marks the first time that Volaris partners with a European airline. The partnership will expand the Spanish airline’s reach to 25 national destinations within the Volaris network.
These destinations are: Acapulco, Cancún, Chetumal, Chihuahua, Ciudad Juárez, Cozumel, Culiacán, Guadalajara, Hermosillo, Huatulco, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, La Paz, Los Mochis, Mazatlán, Mérida, Mexicali, Monterrey, Oaxaca, Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Escondido, San José del Cabo, Tapachula, Tijuana, Tuxtla Gutiérrez and Villahermosa. “By signing this codeshare agreement with Iberia, we are providing passengers with a greater variety of options to explore Mexico,” Executive President of Volaris Holger Blankenstein said in a statement . Iberia operates three daily flights to Mexico City, offering over 772,000 seats annually.
The route is served exclusively by the fleet’s largest aircraft, the A350. With a capacity for 348 passengers, this plane is the most eco-efficient in Iberia’s fleet. Through the agreement, an Iberia code will apply on flights operated by Volaris between the aforementioned 25 destinations and Mexico City, where passengers will connect with an Iberia flight to Europe.
This seeks to streamline the booking process ensuring operational efficiency, simplifying processes and reducing complications for both parties. �.
