change

Volaris was founded in 2005.[1] TACA Airlines and Televisa were among the initial shareholders. In 2009, the airline started flying from Mexico to airports in the USA after it began an agreement with Southwest Airlines.[2] When Mexicana de Aviacion stopped flying in August 2010, Volaris took over their slots at the Mexico City International Airport. [3] Southwest and Volaris stopped their agreement in 2013. [4] In 2015, Volaris started going to Guatemala City, Guatemala, San Juan, Puerto Rico and San José, Costa Rica. [5] In 2019, Volaris became Mexico's largest airline in terms of market share, partly because it offered lower prices. It passed Aeroméxico.[6]
