Porter becomes latest Canadian airline to restart service to Mexico
Porter Airlines is resuming service to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Tuesday after cancelling flights because of widespread violence.
The announcement follows similar moves by Air Canada, WestJet and Air Transat on Monday.
A social media post on Monday from Air Canada said full operations from Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta will start up again on Tuesday.
WestJet and Air Transat have both said they’re restarting service to and from Puerto Vallarta on Tuesday, with WestJet also doing the same for Guadalajara and Manzanillo.
Tourists and locals in multiple regions of Mexico were told to shelter in place to avoid the violence that broke out Sunday after the death of a cartel leader as part of a Mexican government operation.
More than 26,000 Canadians in Mexico have registered with Ottawa.
