National and international airlines resume flights to and from Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta

National and international airlines have resumed operations at Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta airports following disruptions caused by violence resulting from a federal operation.

National airlines Viva and Volaris announced the gradual normalization of their operations at the airports of Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta on Monday, after service disruptions occurred due to violence following a federal operation leading to the death of notorious crime figure Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho'. The airlines initially faced cancellations of both domestic and international flights on Sunday, reflecting the immediate impact of the violence on air travel in the region.

Viva Airlines stated that as of Monday, their flights at both airports had returned to normal, while also enforcing their 'Flex-SÍ-bility' policy. This allows passengers whose flights were disrupted to change their itineraries without additional fees. Volaris also took steps to facilitate changes without cost for passengers flying to or from the affected airports, urging customers to check the status of their flights before heading to the airport.

The resumption of flights signals a return to normalcy in air travel operations following a significant security incident. However, given the context of violence and the impact on the travel experience, passengers are encouraged to remain vigilant and informed about ongoing developments in the region. The response from these airlines highlights the importance of flexibility and customer service in maintaining traveler confidence amidst security concerns.
