Puerto Vallarta Airport Canceled 12 Flights Due to Hurricane Lidia, Airport Expected to Close in Coming Hours

The Puerto Vallarta International Airport reported that airlines had canceled 12 flights due to Hurricane “Lidia.”

Although it continues to operate normally, this facility is expected to close in the next few hours.

Municipalities along the coast of Jalisco are on high alert as they prepare for the impending arrival of Hurricane Lidia, expected to make landfall on Tuesday afternoon. The storm has intensified into a category 2 hurricane, according to the Saffir-Simpson scale. The Jalisco State Civil Protection and Firefighters Unit has indicated that the meteorological event is anticipated to touch down between 4 and 6 p.m., near the town of El Mayto in the municipality of Cabo Corrientes, located approximately 50 kilometers south of the tourist hotspot, Puerto Vallarta.

The 15 municipalities that could experience the direct impact of Hurricane Lidia include, but are not limited to, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo Corrientes, Mascota, Villa Purificación, La Huerta, Cihuatlán, Tomatlán, Autlán de Navarro, San Sebastián del Oeste, and El Grullo. The gravity of the situation has led local authorities to implement a series of emergency measures to mitigate the potential fallout from the storm.

To prepare for the hurricane’s landfall, the State Civil Protection Unit of Jalisco has preemptively established shelters in the municipalities of Puerto Vallarta and Cabo Corrientes. As of this report, the shelters have not been opened to the public due to the absence of any reported damage arising from Hurricane Lidia thus far. However, officials stand ready to act as the situation develops.

In an added effort to coordinate the state’s response to Hurricane Lidia, authorities have set up the Emergency Operations Center in the municipality of Puerto Vallarta. The center will serve as the nexus for all decision-making related to the Lidia surveillance operation, including allocating resources and disseminating critical information to the public.

Residents in the affected regions are strongly urged to stay informed by following updates from local authorities and to take all necessary precautions, including heeding evacuation notices, securing property, and having an emergency kit prepared. The Jalisco State Civil Protection Unit remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the residents in the face of this developing natural disaster.

This is a developing story, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
