Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport, Guadalajara, Jalisco

Five routes are joining the ultra-low-cost carrier’s network from Mexico City, in addition to three new services set to start later this month.

Mexico’s flag-carrier has opened two leisure routes from Guadalajara designed to help kickstart the country’s tourism recovery.

Raúl Revuelta, CEO of Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, discusses the state of the market in Mexico and how the group has adapted to challenges created by COVID-19.

Mexico ultra-low-cost carrier Viva Aerobus is resuming flights to Dallas Fort Worth almost five years after a short-lived foray into the market.

Routes analyzes some of the services returning as well as new routes being launched. This week we look at Volaris’ plans to expand its US footprint, Qatar Airways resuming flights to London Gatwick, and Vistara launching its first long-haul route.

This latest expansion will further strengthen the carrier’s position as the airline with the greatest international connectivity from Guadalajara, where it now operates 20 international and 18 domestic flights. Since it introduced flights it has transported more than 16 million passengers from the city.
