Puerto Vallarta (PVDN) – Luis Antonio Villaseñor Nolasco, Head of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Trust, has announced the introduction of two new flight routes arriving in Puerto Vallarta this coming June, serviced by Volaris and JetBlue airlines.
He reported that over the first two weeks of the month, more than 800 flights arrived at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, averaging about 50 daily operations. He expects the number of operations to rise as the summer season approaches.
“From the first of June, Volaris will begin daily flights on the Guadalajara-Puerto Vallarta route, which will link us to 19 cities in the hub of the state capital. On the 15th of June, we will commence daily JetBlue flight operations on the Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta route, which caters to another significant market for our destination,” he announced.
These new routes, he emphasized, will bolster key markets for Puerto Vallarta, enhancing seat availability and improving connectivity conditions.
According to Villaseñor Nolasco, the Volaris route from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta will expand reach to areas with fewer connections, such as northern Mexico, thereby drawing visitors from Hermosillo, Mexicali, Culiacán, and beyond.
JetBlue’s new route will solidify connectivity with the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which is the primary source of travelers to Puerto Vallarta. As for seating capacity, he detailed that “Volaris provides around 186 seats, and JetBlue offers approximately 180 seats.”
It’s worth noting that last year, JetBlue introduced a route from New York to Puerto Vallarta with four weekly frequencies.
As for the Volaris flight schedule, flights will depart from Guadalajara at 12:42 PM and arrive in Puerto Vallarta at 1:38 PM. Return flights will leave Puerto Vallarta at 2:08 PM, touching down in Guadalajara at 3:15 PM.
