NEW FLIGHT ROUTES ANNOUNCED TO SOME OF MEXICO'S MAJOR DESTINATIONS
December 4, 2024
New sectors of the international tourism market continue to arrive in Mexico, thanks to the commitment of various international airlines towards the expansion of Mexico’s international flight connectivity.
In Puerto Vallarta, a new route from Prague, Czech Republic, will begin operation in 2025. The tourism office has highlighted that the objective of this new weekly flight is to attract tourists from the three major cities in the Czech Republic: Prague, Brno, and Ostrava. Arriving at the Vallarta International Airport every Tuesday, these flights will be available from April 2025.
In addition to the Czech Republic, it is hoped that the new flight will attract visitors from some of the neighboring Eastern European countries, such as Germany, Slovakia, Austria, and Poland, diversifying the tourism industry in the region.
In Cancún, these efforts are beginning as well, with a new direct route from Poland to Quintana Roo, operated in tandem between the Rainbow and LOT Polish airlines opening in time for the winter season. Flights will arrive twice a week; from Warsaw on Sundays, and from Katowice on Thursdays.
Beyond the Eastern European market, Cancún will also see an increase in connectivity with the Middle East, as Qatar Airways have announced the resumption of its flight route between Doha and Mexico City, with connections to Cancún. It is hoped that this new connection will open up Quintana Roo, and Mexico as a whole, to further expansion in the Middle Eastern and Asian markets, considering that currently only 200 annual visitors are registered from the Arabic region.
These efforts are part of a larger strategy to further establish Puerto Vallarta, Quintana Roo, and the whole country as one of the premier global destinations.

As the winter season begins, Mexico’s combination of warm climate, accessibility, and rich experiences is expected to continue attracting travelers from the United States, Canada, and beyond.
