Overview

  • The Volaris service operates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with 186-seat aircraft, offering about 58,000 annual seats.
  • On July 17 the inaugural outbound flight departed Tepic at 06:50 with 161 passengers and arrived in Los Angeles without incidents.
  • State authorities invested more than 4 billion pesos in airport modernization and nearly 5 billion pesos in road improvements to enable the new route.
  • The connection addresses travel needs of an estimated 450,000 Nayaritas in the US by facilitating faster family reunions, especially for those in the Los Angeles metro area.
  • Officials say the direct link will boost tourism, commercial exchange and regional economic growth by tying Riviera Nayarit more closely to the US market.
