This substantial rise in demand helped push the load factor up by 7.4 percentage points to a robust 81.3%.
Passenger Traffic Soars Volaris transported 2.3 million passengers during the month, a remarkable 48.7% increase compared to the previous year. Despite a strong demand trend, the company adjusted its capacity slightly, reducing ASMs by 1.5% month-over-month from December 2021, in response to the impact of the Omicron variant.
Outlook for the First Quarter Looking ahead, Volaris anticipates that its consolidated ASMs for the first quarter of the year will remain largely flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This indicates around 50% ASM growth compared to the same period last year. Demand trends in the markets appear to support this forecast.
Commitment to Reliability Volaris remains dedicated to maintaining high schedule reliability, despite the operational challenges faced by the industry due to the Omicron variant. The airline continues to meet the needs of its customers, ensuring excellent service amid ongoing challenges.

This new engine is the latest in Honeywell’s military engine lineup and promises to deliver enhanced performance, reliability, and fuel efficiency.
A Leap in Power and Efficiency The HTS7500 engine builds on the proven success of Honeywell's T55 engine, which has powered the H-47 fleet for over 60 years. While structurally similar to the T55, the HTS7500 offers 42% more power and is the lightest engine in its class. The engine features a modernized control system, enabling secure data transmission and improving operational efficiency while reducing life-cycle costs.
DEFIANT X® to Revolutionize Assault Helicopters The DEFIANT X® is poised to be the fastest and most maneuverable assault helicopter in history. It is capable of flying twice as fast and far as the Black Hawk, making it an ideal choice for the U.S. Army's modernization efforts. The helicopter is currently undergoing testing in digital combat environments, demonstrating its superior range and survivability.
U.S. Army’s Vision for Modernization The FLRAA program, launched in 2019, seeks to replace the aging Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk with a new, more capable utility helicopter by 2030. The HTS7500 engine is designed to meet the Army’s rigorous performance and reliability requirements, ensuring that the next generation of aircraft remains operational for decades.
Honeywell’s Legacy in Aviation Honeywell has been a leader in aircraft propulsion for nearly 70 years, with a legacy of producing high-performance, high-power engines for both civilian and military applications. Its engines undergo extensive testing to ensure optimal performance in harsh environments, delivering enhanced power with lower fuel consumption and proven reliability. |
