Mexican airline Volaris said on Friday it was offering free flights to reunite families separated by the “zero tolerance” immigration policy of U. S. President.
“It hurts us to see these children without their parents and it is our vocation to reunite them, ” Volaris said in a statement.
The airline said it would work with authorities in the United States, Mexico and Central America to offer free flights on its pre - existing routes to reunite children with their parents. According to its website, Volaris flies to over 65 locations across Mexico, the United States, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
After facing an uproar at home and abroad, Trump bowed to intense pressure on Wednesday and signed an order ending the separation of children from their families while parents were prosecuted for crossing the border illegally.
This week, four major U. S. airlines asked the federal government not to use their flights to transport migrant children away from their parents.
