Volaris finalizes order for 44 A320s


Mexican low-cost carrier Volaris (Y4) has finalized a previously announced order for 44 Airbus A320 aircraft, comprising 30 A320neos and 14 A320 family aircraft.
According to Airbus, the order represents the largest single commercial aircraft order by a Mexican airline. Y4, the first airline in Mexico to order the A320neo, has yet to make an engine selection. It will use the aircraft to continue its expansion into the US and renew its fleet.
Y4, which launched operations in 2006, has become one of the top three airlines in Mexico. It operates 34 Airbus aircraft and has a backlog of 58, Airbus said in a statement.
Volaris CEO Enrique Beltranena said the new aircraft will “let us strengthen our low price strategy to benefit a larger number of Mexicans, while their fuel efficiency and reliability will allow our fleet, the youngest in the country, to be even more friendly to the Mexican skies.”
