Port Authority of NY NJ and Volaris: First nonstop service between Newark Liberty International Airport and Mexico’s Puebla International Airport

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Volaris today announced the launch of nonstop flights from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Puebla, Mexico (PBC), further expanding international connectivity between the New York-New Jersey region and Mexico. The new Volaris service will begin on Tuesday, June 2, with four weekly nonstop flights.

With the addition of the Puebla route, Volaris will provide travelers in the region with more direct and affordable access to central Mexico, serving leisure and business travelers as well as those visiting friends and relatives. Puebla is located approximately 80 miles southeast of Mexico City and is one of Mexico’s most culturally and economically significant regions.

The new service strengthens EWR’s growing portfolio of international destinations and supports the Port Authority’s ongoing efforts to expand global connectivity from its airports, providing customers with more nonstop options while supporting economic and cultural exchange between regions.

“Expanding international service at Newark Liberty is a key part of our strategy to strengthen the global connectivity of the region’s airports,” said Frank Radics, Port Authority New Jersey airports general manager. “Volaris’ new nonstop service to Puebla adds another important destination to our growing international network and reflects continued demand for direct, reliable air service linking our region with major economic and cultural centers across the continent and the globe.”

“This new route reflects Volaris’ commitment to expanding affordable air connectivity between key regions of Mexico and the United States,” said Volaris Executive Vice President Holger Blankenstein. “By linking Newark with Puebla, we are offering our customers more and better travel options, while strengthening economic, cultural, and family ties between two vibrant markets.”

Puebla is one of Mexico’s most culturally rich destinations, with a historic city center designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its colonial architecture, landmarks such as Puebla Cathedral and the Biblioteca Palafoxiana, and culinary traditions including mole poblano and chiles en nogada, Puebla offers visitors a distinctive blend of history, cuisine, art, and contemporary culture. The region is also an industrial and educational hub, making it an increasingly attractive destination for both tourism and business travel.

The new service complements an ever-growing array of international destinations offered at EWR. 2025 was EWR’s busiest year ever for international travel, welcoming 15.4 million international passengers.

The new service will operate four days a week beginning Tuesday, June 2. Service to Newark Liberty will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, with a 10:50 p.m. departure from PBC for a 5:29 a.m. arrival at EWR. Service from Newark Liberty will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with a 6:59 a.m. departure from EWR for a 10:15 a.m. arrival at PBC.

Tickets for the new service are on sale now at Volaris.com and via the Volaris app. With this new service, Volaris reinforces its role as a key connector between Mexico and the United States, supporting mobility, tourism, and economic exchange across borders. Volaris currently operates service from EWR to Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) and El Salvador International Airport (SAL).
