PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – The Pacific Airport Group announced that due to the arrival of Hurricane Lidia, the Puerto Vallarta International Airport will be closed starting at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 10, and will be reopened to the public until 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, the 11th.
After becoming a Category 3 Hurricane, Lidia modified its route and is approaching Puerto Vallarta, where a direct hit is possible in the coming hours. It will impact the Bay of Banderas along the southern coast, causing the eye of what is expected to be a tropical storm to affect the border of Jalisco and Nayarit once it enters the Bay of Banderas.
The hurricane’s trajectory is similar to that of Hurricane Kenna, which devastated the port in 2002 and deviated at the last moment in front of the bay to land on Nayarit’s coast.
