Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V., commonly known as Volaris, is a Mexican ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. The company's core business is to provide air transportation services for passengers, cargo, and mail, with a mission to offer low base fares to make air travel accessible to a broader market while maintaining quality service and extensive customer choice.

Volaris operates point-to-point flights across Mexico, the United States, and Central and South America. The airline targets passengers visiting friends and relatives (VFR), as well as cost-conscious business and leisure travelers. Its service offerings include low base fares complemented by a wide array of ancillary products, allowing customers to customize their travel experience.

As of 2025, Volaris is recognized as Mexico's largest airline by passenger numbers and maintains a strong market position as one of the lowest-cost operators globally. In December 2025, Volaris and Viva Aerobus announced an agreement to form a new airline group through a merger of equals, though both airlines are expected to continue operating independently. The company reported an 8% increase in passenger traffic during the first five months of 2025 and launched a new loyalty program called 'altitude'. However, Volaris faced financial challenges, reporting a larger-than-expected loss in Q1 2026. Enrique Beltranena serves as the President and CEO.
