February 24, New Delhi – The Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, appeared unusually quiet on Monday, following heightened security measures in the wake of recent cartel-related violence in the state of Jalisco.
National Guard troops were patrolling the terminals, while security personnel were conducting searches of travelers as operations gradually returned to normal. Airlines are slowly resuming services.
Air Canada has announced that it will resume full flights to Puerto Vallarta from Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver on Tuesday, with the Toronto-Guadalajara route restarting on Wednesday. Other airlines are following suit as authorities work to stabilize the region after widespread disruptions.
