After months of resuming and ramping up international operations from Monterrey, Mexico, Volaris is now cutting all eight of its US routes from the northern Mexican city. Data from Cirium , an aviation analytics company, shows a complete withdrawal of service to the United States by the end of July 2025. These cuts include destinations such as Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), Miami International Airport (MIA), and Oakland International Airport (OAK), some of which were only recently relaunched.
The move suggests a broad shift in the Mexican low-cost carrier's international network priorities, especially considering that some of these routes were reinstated as part of a renewed push into the US market less than a year ago. Others, such as Denver International Airport (DEN) and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), were previously served on and off before 2019. The sudden withdrawal leaves a significant gap in Monterrey's connectivity with major cities in the United States.
All Routes End By July 2025 From January through July 2025, Volaris operates US flights from Monterrey to San Antonio (SAT), Chicago, Oakland, Los Angeles, Miami International Airport (MIA), Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), Dallas, and Denver, Cirium data shows. Each of these routes is scheduled to end before or by the end of July. The most frequent services are Monterrey – Houston, which has up to 14 weekly flights, and Monterrey – Dallas and San Antonio, which have up to 7 weekly flights.
Both of which disappear from the schedule in May. By June 2025, only two US routes remain in service: Los Angeles and Miami. The Monterrey – Los Angeles route runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while Monterrey – Miami operates on Fridays.
Come July 2025, only Miami appears in the schedule and stays one flight per week. That makes Monterrey – Miami Volaris's final US route from Monterrey. Simple Flying has reached out to Volaris for additional information.
However, a spokesperson wasn't immediately available. Recent Expansions Now Reversed In November 2024, Volaris inaugurated three new US routes from Monterrey to San Antonio, Chicago, and Oakland. These additions came alongside a broader US expansion by the ultra-low-cost carrier, aiming to strengthen connectivity between Mexico and the United States.
Last month, Volaris initiated a second wave of new routes from Monterrey, part of a seasonal expansion targeting spring and summer travelers. These included four destinations in the United States, all operated by its Airbus A320 family aircraft, according to Travel And Tour World . Despite the promising start, Volaris has now ceased all these US routes.
There are several reasons behind Volaris' abrupt turnaround, including changing demand, aircraft reallocation, and operating expenses. Profitability may be impacted by the increased level of competition in the US and Mexican markets.

Volaris Continues US Growth Elsewhere Volaris still continues to grow its US – Mexico network. The carrier will launch a new nonstop service between San Antonio and Morelia starting July 5. Flights will operate three times weekly, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
On the same day, Volaris will also begin nonstop flights from San Antonio to San Luis Potosí (SLP), another key central Mexican city known for its growing business sector and colonial charm. This route will mirror the Morelia schedule with three weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Volaris has officially launched a daily non-stop service from Oakland to Los Cabos (SJD), starting March 20, 2025, further strengthening its position as the Bay Area's leading airline to Mexico.
The route connects Northern California travelers to the popular beach destinations of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, located on the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula..
