All flights to Mexico from Canada were suspended in January at the request of the Canadian government.
Other Canadian airlines that normally run flights to Puerto Vallarta, including Air Transat and Air Canada, have hinted that they are likely to resume operations in the late summer or fall.
U.S. airlines serving the destination, including Delta, Alaska, Southwest and United, have gradually increased the regularity of their flight schedule to Vallarta as the severity of Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions are eased.
According to Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, the operators of the Puerto Vallarta Airport, 363 flights per week are expected to arrive in June, and 1,452 in the entire month.
