Volaris Invites California to their Mexican LCC Fiesta

While this isn't exactly the right time to announce new air routes between Mexico and the United States, actually it is probably the worst time to do so, small Mexican LCC Volaris is charging ahead with plans for summer expansion.

Let's hope that this swine flu is well put to bed by early July, when Volaris begins running daily non-stop flights from Los Angeles and Oakland to two south of the border destinations: Guadalajara and Toluca. Currently the airline flies to over 20 Mexican cities, but this marks its first international jump.

What's in the future for Volaris now that they've made it up into coveted west coast airports? Well, if Southwest has anything to say about it, the little LCC will be their new amigo and passengers will be able to book Volaris flights on Southwest's website and vice versa. One small step for Mexican flights, but one giant leap for international LCCs.
