Viva announced its May 2025 preliminary traffic results. Viva’s passenger traffic increased 9.0% compared to May 2024, reaching 2.5 million passengers, driven by an increase of 7.7% and 21.2% in domestic and international traffic, respectively. Load factors reached 84.8% compared to 85.3% in 2024, with a load factor mix of 86.4% and 77.1% in domestic and international, respectively.

Viva grew its total capacity in available seat miles (ASMs) by 6.6% compared to May 2024, reflecting an increase of 4.2% and 18.2% in domestic and international, respectively.

“May traffic remained stable with resilient load factor of 84.8%, supported by ongoing network optimization efforts and capacity adjustments. We have been focused on aligning capacity with demand dynamics as consumer behavior remains cautious, particularly during off-peak travel periods. While Pratt & Whitney engine constraints continue to present operational headwinds, we remain focused on optimizing our operations to uphold service reliability and operational efficiency.”, said Juan Carlos Zuazua, CEO of Viva.
