Volaris ramps up capacity in 3Q2020 to 75% of 3Q2019 capacity

Volaris stated (22-Oct-2020) the carrier was able to ramp up service to 63% of Jul-2019 capacity in Jul-2020 and expanded further to 79% of Aug-2019 capacity. Volaris added that September is typically a low travel month so management cautiously increased capacity to 84% of prior year while focusing on increasing total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM). Volaris operated 75% of ASMs in 3Q2020 compared to the 3Q2019. The domestic market led the capacity recovery, where Volaris operated 85% ASMs versus the same period in 2019. In the international market, Volaris operated 54% ASMs compared to the same period in 2019. Central American operations remained closed. [more - original PR - English/Spanish]
