Vivaaerobus to add four million seats in Q4
Vivaaerobus will become one of North America’s fastest-growing carriers during Q4. The airline will add an additional 4,221,389 seats on Q4 2019. It will be just behind Southwest and Frontier in terms of added capacity in North America, and ahead of rival Volaris, which plans to add an extra 2.5 million seats on the market.
Overall, Vivaaerobus plans to operate 38,455 flights during Q4, offering almost eight million seats, according to Cirium schedules data. The airline still lags behind Volaris and is Mexico’s second-largest airline, with some two million fewer seats but is ahead of flag carrier Aeromexico by some 300,000 seats.
