Volaris shareholders approved every item on the agenda at the general ordinary and extraordinary meetings held September 3, 2026, including bylaw amendments required for the pending merger with Grupo Viva Aerobus (VIVA), under which Volaris is the surviving company and VIVA will be merged and extinguished.
The board was reshuffled for the transition: Andrew S. Broderick resigned and Barron E. Steele was appointed, while current terms — including Chairman Brian H. Franke and CEO Enrique Beltranena — run only until the Merger Agreement is executed.
Upon merger execution, Roberto Lazaro Alcantara Rojas will chair a twelve-member board expanding to thirteen after the first anniversary, and the Technical Committee of the CPO Issuer Trust will be reconstituted under his chairmanship, completing the governance groundwork for the combination.

Volaris Reports Increase in Consolidated Load Factor for July
zacks.com • 2mo ago SEC Filing ⚠ 3
VLRS: 6-K · other
Volaris filed a Form 6-K on August 5, 2026 attaching its July 2026 traffic release, reporting a consolidated load factor of 87.9%, up 3.0 percentage points year-over-year, on 3.3 million passengers carried during the month. Capacity (ASMs) grew 14.4% while traffic (RPMs) grew 18.5%.
International routes drove the upside: international RPMs rose 22.4% with load factor up 7.3 points to 84.9%, while domestic RPMs rose 16.0% at a 90.0% load factor. Year to date the airline has carried 19.1 million passengers, up 8.0% versus 2025, though July's capacity growth far outpaced the YTD ASM increase of 4.0%.
CEO Enrique Beltranena said July validated the decision to grow capacity into peak summer demand, and noted Volaris will trim capacity growth going into the fall to match seat supply to current demand patterns — a forward-looking supply signal investors may read as caution on demand momentum.
