Volaris was founded in 2006, with the aim of transforming the travel of Mexicans and Americas travelers through the offering of low-priced travel. A combination of investment funds, the Discovery Americas I, the Columbia Equity Partners, and the TACA Airlines (now a constituent of Avianca) were instrumental in the formation of the airline. These initial investors united with the vision of opening air travel to most people and started with the aspect of reducing cost and being efficient in their operations.

Most of the Volaris shares, nearing 81.8 percent, are owned by retail investors (persons and minor shareholders each owning less than 5 percent of the total). This shows the high level of interest and investment stability in the airline model and direction.
Indigo Partners LLC is the largest institutional investor in the company with a holding share of around 18.2 percent of the Series A of the organization. A large stake by Indigo Partners has affected the strategic orientation of Volaris, although it is not controlled by Indigo or any other single party; there is no control group.

The total shareholding of the company insiders, headed by CEO Enrique Javier Beltranena Mejicano is less than 2.5 percent and with over 12 million shares in the company, Beltranena is the largest shareholder individually among executives as of early 2025.
