Southern
California's Ontario International Airport (ONT) announced
Tuesday that Volaris will launch nonstop service to Mexico
City (MEX), making the capital city the
second Mexico destination reached nonstop from ONT.
Volaris will begin the ONT-MEX
service Nov. 9. The new route will complement Volaris' existing
ONT nonstop flight serving Guadalajara that began in 2014.
The approximately two-hour flight will
operate with A320 equipment outfitted with 179 coach seats.
Announcement of the ONT-MEX services
comes on the heels of airlines resuming nonstop flights to Chicago
Midway and Houston Intercontinental earlier this month, marking the
fourth straight month of flight increases for ONT since the onset of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ontario International Airport is
the fastest growing airport in the United States, according to
Global Traveler, a leading publication for frequent fliers. Located
in the Inland Empire, ONT is approximately 35 miles east of
downtown Los Angeles in the center of Southern
California. It is a full-service airport which, before the
coronavirus pandemic, offered nonstop commercial jet service to 26
major airports in the U.S., Mexico and Taiwan.
