Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Canadians in Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, will have an easier way to reach Puerto Vallarta this winter as Swoop, Canada’s leading ultra-low-cost airline, has announced weekly direct service into Puerto Vallarta’s International Airport (PVR) starting Sunday, October 31.
This direct flight from Victoria is a reflection of the confidence that Puerto Vallarta generates in international travelers, due in large part to the management of biosafety protocols in place at the destination’s airport, hotels, restaurants and tours.
“Introducing Puerto Vallarta is the perfect addition to our offering of routes from Victoria for those looking to make a warm-weather getaway at an affordable price” said Bert van der Stege, Swoop’s Chief Commercial and Financial Officer.
Luis Villasenor, managing director of Puerto Vallarta Tourism Promotion and Advertising Trust, shared his American contemporary’s sentiment. “As travel restrictions begin to ease, we are ready to welcome Swoop passengers from British Columbia to enjoy year-round sunshine, sea-to-mountain views, inclusive experiences, and our signature brand of authentic Mexican hospitality,” he said.
This great news about the new connection to Puerto Vallarta is in addition to the previously announced reopening of five flights by the airline, the first from Edmonton, three times a week as of October 5, from Hamilton, twice a week on the same date, Toronto, twice a week beginning November 3, Abbotsford, also a couple of times a week beginning on the same date and Winnipeg, twice a week beginning November 4.
This popular beach resort is one of Canadians’ most sought-after winter vacation destinations. Historically, almost 15 percent of the destination’s international visitors are from Canada – especially in the winter months.
Flights to Puerto Vallarta’s Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR) will go on sale on June 30 with the airline set to offer non-stop service once weekly on Sundays.
