“This route is of great importance for our area, serving as a bridge to this prominent American tourist destination. It represents another boost for the growth of our air traffic, which has surged by 10% this year compared to the same period in 2022,” said Cryshtian Amador Lizardi, director of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport.

The flight operates four times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, offering an average of 1,216 monthly seats to Las Vegas. This increased accessibility is sure to attract more visitors, further strengthening the ties between the two destinations.
