Air Canada (TSX: AC) announced on Sunday that it has temporarily halted operations to and from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, citing an ongoing security situation in the region. The decision comes as authorities respond to heightened tensions following reports that Mexican drug cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera, widely known as “El Mencho,” was killed during a military operation.
The airline stated that the suspension is a precautionary measure aimed at ensuring passenger and crew safety. Puerto Vallarta, a popular tourist destination on Mexico’s Pacific coast, is frequently served by international carriers, including Air Canada. The temporary halt in flights may affect travelers planning vacations or business trips to the area.
According to earlier reports by Reuters, the security situation escalated after news circulated regarding the alleged death of Oseguera, who is considered one of Mexico’s most powerful drug lords. While official confirmation and further details remain limited, the development has reportedly led to increased military activity and security measures in certain parts of the country.
Air Canada has not specified how long the suspension will remain in effect but indicated that it is closely monitoring the situation. The carrier advised customers to check their flight status online and explore rebooking options if necessary. The airline also emphasized that customer safety remains its top priority during periods of uncertainty.
Investors are keeping a close watch on Air Canada stock (TSX: AC) as geopolitical and security-related events can influence airline operations and travel demand. Any prolonged disruption in a key leisure market like Puerto Vallarta could impact short-term passenger volumes.
Travelers heading to Mexico are encouraged to stay informed through official airline updates and government travel advisories. As the situation develops, further announcements from both Air Canada and local authorities are expected.
