Medellín, enabling passengers from Colombia to access Guadalajara’s extensive network of 64 domestic and international destinations. With more than 110 daily departures, Guadalajara is a key hub for Volaris.

Official Statements and Strategic Goals
Holger Blankenstein, Executive Vice President
of Commercial and Operations at Volaris, said the new routes provide “more routes, more destinations and more opportunities to connect Mexico with the continent,” enhancing Guadalajara’s position as a hub and expanding Puebla’s offerings. He noted Colombia’s role in Latin America and said, “connecting it further with Mexico is a source of pride to expand travel options for Medellín residents.” Blankenstein added that Volaris is “consolidating its position as a benchmark in South America’s air connectivity and fulfilling its commitment to democratize the skies.”
Traveler Impact
The launch of these routes expands international travel options from Guadalajara, Puebla, and Querétaro, improving access
between Mexico, Colombia, the United States, and Guatemala. Passengers in Medellín gain new access to Volaris’ broad network through Guadalajara, enabling travel for business, tourism, education, or family visits. Puebla’s new links include beach destinations and a direct flight to Chicago O’Hare, broadening options for Mexican and international travelers. Querétaro’s new route to Las Vegas opens a direct connection to a major U.S. leisure market.
