Volaris Airlines Marks 15 Years at Oakland with New Nonstop Flights to Zacatecas and More

Volaris Airlines is celebrating a milestone 15 years at Oakland International Airport (OAK) with a thrilling announcement: the addition of three new destinations in Mexico and increased flight frequencies to popular locations. Starting July 2, 2025, Volaris will launch nonstop service to Zacatecas, marking the airline's eighth destination from OAK. Zacatecas, the capital of the Mexican state of the same name, joins a growing list of sought-after Mexican cities, including Monterrey and Los Cabos. This expansion brings the total number of nonstop routes between OAK and Mexico to three, offering more options for travelers heading to these vibrant destinations.

Volaris recognizes the strategic importance of OAK as a key gateway for travelers to the San Francisco Bay Area. With its expanded service, Volaris now serves seven destinations in Mexico and one in El Salvador, offering a total of over 70 destinations across Mexico, and extending its international reach to Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, and El Salvador.

In celebration of its expansion, Volaris is making a substantial investment of over US$200 million in new aircraft stationed at OAK. The airline's new fleet will consist of A320/A321 NEO airliners, which feature state-of-the-art CFM LEAP engines and winglets that reduce CO2 emissions by 22% per seat and NOx emissions by 55% compared to previous models. These advanced airliners are also much quieter, slashing noise pollution for both passengers and surrounding communities by 50%.

A standout highlight from the event was the announcement of daily nonstop flights to Los Cabos, set to begin on March 20, 2025. This highly anticipated route is tailored to the needs of San Francisco Bay Area travelers seeking a beach getaway, with flights specifically timed to accommodate hotel check-in and check-out schedules. As the first nonstop service to this popular leisure destination, the new flights offer a perfect balance of convenience, affordability, and timeliness, especially when combined with Volaris' competitive fares and the accessibility of OAK.

Volaris also commemorated the expanded service between OAK and Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, now operating three times a week. This route is another key addition to the airline's Bay Area offerings, solidifying its commitment to connecting more U.S. travelers with the rich culture and business opportunities in northern Mexico.

With these new routes, expanded frequencies, and cutting-edge technology, Volaris is not just celebrating a successful 15 years at OAK but also paving the way for an exciting future of travel to and from the Bay Area.
