Puerto Vallarta International Airport began Saturday, July 11, with scheduled commercial service operating. No airport-wide closure or broad operational disruption was visible on the flight boards checked at 6:33 a.m. Central Time.
Aeromexico flight AM331, the first departure listed from PVR, departed for Mexico City at 5:59 a.m., two minutes ahead of schedule. Its arrival was estimated for 7:28 a.m., 12 minutes before the published arrival time. Viva flight VB1166, the first inbound commercial flight, departed Mexico City at 6:27 a.m. and was expected at PVR at 7:41 a.m., one minute behind schedule and still classified as on time.
The morning portion of the public boards listed 14 arrivals and 9 departures through 12:20 p.m. and 11:58 a.m., respectively. Duplicate codeshare flight numbers were removed from the counts. Later flights will appear as the boards move into the afternoon and evening schedule.
Arrival summary
Domestic arrivals were scheduled from Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosí and Toluca during the morning.

American Airlines flight AA1114 to Dallas, scheduled for 11:38 a.m., was the first international departure shown in the checked morning window. It remained listed on time.

No flight in the checked morning schedule was marked delayed.
Several flights had small changes to estimated arrival times, including four minutes for Viva flight VB7004 from Guadalajara and two minutes for Southwest flight WN1952 from Sacramento. Both remained classified as on time. These estimate changes should not be treated as reported delays.
Known cancellations
No cancellation was shown among the operating arrivals and departures in the morning board window checked for this report.
That does not guarantee there will be no cancellations later Saturday. Airlines can revise schedules throughout the day, and the official PVR flight-information page states that its information is based on operational data and estimates supplied by airlines.
Weather and operating conditions
The early aviation observation at PVR reported a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, light winds from the east-northeast at four knots, 12 miles of visibility, and haze. Cloud layers were reported at approximately 3,000, 10,000 and 23,000 feet.
The aviation forecast called for light winds and improving visibility during the day. A layer of cumulonimbus clouds was forecast near 2,000 feet after approximately 8 p.m. Saturday. That was not causing a disruption at the morning check, but evening passengers should watch for weather-related schedule changes.
Airport and airline boards can change without notice. Travelers should confirm their flight directly with the operating airline before leaving for the terminal.

Travel note
Passengers should treat the airline’s website or mobile application as the final source for departure time, gate assignment, and cancellation information. Anyone meeting an arriving passenger should wait until the flight shows as landed before entering the pickup area, since gate arrival and baggage delivery can change after touchdown.
