Southwest to Serve Mexico by 2010 with New Codeshare Pact
Southwest Airlines has just announced it will start code sharing with Volaris on flights to Mexico by 2010.
Similar to their recent partnership with WestJet to provide service to Canada, their new arrangement with Volaris will greatly expand Southwest's reach to now include most of North America.
Volaris presently serves some of the most popular vacation destinations in Mexico including Cancun, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco. They also serve important business travel destinations such as Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara.
Unlike WestJet, Volaris is an unknown brand in the US. Although they are relatively small and certainly new (they began flying in 2006), Volaris has proven themselves a successful and viable airline and are developing a new generation of flyers in Mexico.
