Puerto Vallarta will have 1,600 air operations in October

Luis Villaseor Nolasco, who is in charge of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Trust, said that more than 1,600 flights are expected in October. This is a 23% increase from 2019, when there were 1,343 flights.

In this regard, the travelers emphasized that Puerto Vallarta ended September with historic numbers, with a 40% increase in domestic travelers and a 50% increase in travelers from other countries, and that 23% more travelers are anticipated this month.

“There will be a new airline from Canada; it is called Flair, so starting on Tuesday, October 25th, it will operate from Vancouver, Canada, twice a week, increasing to five times a week in December; and on November 2nd, it will come with the route from Edmonton, so two new frequencies will be added with a new airline, which is Flair, and we are very happy.”

On the other hand, occupancy numbers will be great. They are expected to be higher than the all-time low of 58%, which was set in October of last year. This means that they might average 60% for the whole month.

Furthermore, he emphasized the return of cruise ships to Puerto Vallarta.

Approximately 94 cruise ships are anticipated in this last quarter of the year, with 195 arrivals compared to 181 in 2019. Therefore, this is excellent news for the residents of Vallarta, who are now more motivated to keep up appearances and keep the place tidy so that visitors will feel safe and secure.

Finally, he underlined that Puerto Vallarta continues to set records for flight volume and hotel occupancy, so the year’s end will be crucial for the tourist destination.
