Volaris consolidates its position as the airline with the largest market share in Los Cabos, representing 21% of the total number of seats offered. Since it arrived in 2007, it has transported more than 8.9 million passengers, strengthening its key role in the destination’s connectivity.
With the aim of strengthening its presence in the international market, Volaris expands its offer with new routes to the United States, consolidating Los Cabos as one of the best-connected destinations with the neighbouring country. The recent inauguration of the direct route from Oakland, California, and the confirmation of the route from Ontario, California, reinforce the destination’s positioning in the U.S. market.
The inaugural flight from Oakland, which brought more than 160 passengers to the destination, represents a key opportunity to increase international tourist arrivals and strengthen the destination’s presence in the San Francisco Bay and Oakland area. These strategic markets have a traveller profile with high purchasing power, aligned with the luxury and exclusivity of Los Cabos.
Volaris currently operates daily flights to nine domestic destinations, connecting Los Cabos with Bajio, Culiacan, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Mexicali, Santa Lucia, Queretaro, Tijuana and Toluca.
“The opening of these new routes with Volaris reflects the sustained growth Los Cabos has experienced. Air connectivity is key to the success of the destination. With these new options, we continue to strengthen our accessibility to attract more travellers seeking unique experiences in Los Cabos,” said Rodrigo Esponda, General Director of the Los Cabos Tourism Trust (FITURCA).
For its part, Volaris reaffirms its commitment to the connectivity of the destination: “We are very excited about the start of operations of this new route because in addition to strengthening connectivity between two beautiful destinations in demand by travellers on both sides of the border, such as Los Cabos and Oakland, we are confident that this route will promote greater social, commercial and tourism exchange in both regions, helping to strengthen the economic dynamism for the benefit of our customers and communities,” added Jorge Roberto Garcia, Director of Distribution and Market Development for Volaris.
With the addition of these routes, Los Cabos now has direct flights to 32 cities in the United States, 16 domestic routes, 11 from Canada, and one from Germany, consolidating Los Cabos as a first-class tourist destination with direct access to the main travel markets.
Air connectivity growth reflects sustained demand and growing interest in Los Cabos, with optimistic projections for the next six months in the international market. In January 2025, Los Cabos received 329,500 passengers, a growth of 0.6% compared to the previous year. In addition, bookings show a 2% increase in the international market, confirming the destination’s strong demand and global appeal.
With these actions, Los Cabos continues to consolidate its position as a benchmark in North America, offering efficient connectivity and unique experiences for travellers from all over the world. Volaris’ expansion in Los Cabos reinforces the destination’s position as a leading tourism hub and opens up new opportunities for the region’s economic and social development.
