Volaris Airlines, headquartered in Santa Fe, Mexico D.F., has announced plans to begin low-cost, nonstop flights between Oakland International Airport (OAK) and Tijuana, Mexico, beginning Aug. 28. The announcement was made at a press conference to launch Volaris’ new service between OAK and both Toluca and Guadalajara, Mexico.
Volaris’ Tijuana flight will depart OAK at 9:30 p.m. and arrives at 11:00 p.m., allowing for convenient connections to Acapulco, Morelia, Los Cabos, Guadalajara, Uruapan, Oaxaca y Culiacan. The return flight to OAK departs Tijuana at 11:45 a.m., arriving OAK at 1:25 p.m.
Traveling between Oakland International Airport and Mexico is now convenient and affordable with Volaris’ new flights to Toluca International Airport (31 miles west of Mexico City) and Guadalajara. With the addition of service to Tijuana in August, these three flights represent the beginning of an important investment in the Bay Area region as Volaris is deploying new Airbus aircraft, expected to have an economic impact of $30 million at OAK over the next two years.
Volaris and Southwest Airlines have announced their intention to enter a codeshare agreement beginning in spring 2010. The airlines are creating a business partnership that will enable their customers to travel between a variety of destinations in both the U.S. and Mexico
