Volaris received five new Airbus A320neo family aircraft from CDB Aviation, a leading aircraft lessor, as part of its ongoing fleet modernization program. The delivery was completed on Monday, November 3, 2025, bringing the airline’s total fleet to 149 aircraft, of which 63% are NEO models.
The new A320neo aircraft add 15% to 20% fuel‑efficiency gains over older A320 models, helping Volaris reduce operating costs amid rising fuel prices. The acquisition supports the carrier’s goal of having a 90% NEO fleet by 2030 and strengthens its competitive position as Mexico’s largest ultra‑low‑cost carrier.
CDB Aviation has supplied Volaris with aircraft through sale‑and‑leaseback agreements since 2019. The latest delivery follows a June 24, 2025 shipment of three A320neo aircraft and a prior April 7, 2022 transaction that included two A320neos and three A321neos.
The expansion comes as Volaris continues to navigate Pratt & Whitney GTF engine inspection requirements, which have temporarily grounded a portion of its fleet. The additional aircraft will help offset capacity constraints and maintain service levels across the airline’s network.
Volaris’ financial performance in the most recent quarter showed a net profit of $6 million, reflecting the company’s focus on cost discipline and fleet renewal. The new aircraft are expected to contribute to lower fuel expenses and improved margins over the next 12 to 18 months.
